They both suck. Turkoglu was really bad last year, just as Childress sucked in Europe.

Turkoglu and Childress to the Suns.
I'm surprised that they aren't also in the Mahinmi sweepstakes!

Ian makes a lot of sense there, but Dallas would probably outbid them even if they were making overtures.
Turkoglu will play PF with Suns. Spurs won't have another choice than going small to match it.
If this trade has an impact on Spurs, it will push them even more to get a vet SF with either the LLE or a min contract.
Live by the three die by the three....While they may have beaten us how many Championships do they have???
if this was the NCAA they'd have a shot at a le. but alas, ...
Its gonna be so much fun
Without Amar'e they're seriously downgraded though. They can sign whomever they want, they still probably get worse from last year.
No Amare no worries, they most likely won't make the playoffs. Ian was my choice too for them to pursue, he would probably fit their system nicely
They don't have an inside game since Amare left so they need to try to do it from the outside.![]()
Suns are going out and adding Turkoglu and Childress. We're getting Matt Bonner for four more years. Yep, the window has closed![]()
It doesn't matter, with no inside game our defenders can stick to their 3pt shooters like white on rice.
As long as the Suns have Steve Nash and a couple of screen/roll options to go with their outside shooters, they can still inflict damage to the Spurs.....especially if the Spurs switch their screens like they did in the 4-game playoff series. The Spurs don't have trouble scoring on PHX and they won't this year, either, but that wasn't the reason they lost the series.
I doubt PHX will be as good even with great chemistry, but with Nash they are still deadly. Ask George Hill, Nash's new best friend.
You want to pay turkoglu 4 years 44 million?
Why not? He can produce a of a lot more than Bonner can
I really can't believe you're trying to defend re-signing Bonehead but are trying to ridicule this move by Phoenix. Just goes to show how little you know about hoops.
Can't wait to watch Hedo and Childress taking turns using Bonner as a turn style this year...
This is the same Hedo Turkoglu that is out of shape, killed chemistry in Toronto and has an albatross of a contract right?
They have sideshow bob's brother and ponytail ...
Actually ponytail is a FA and according to Paul Coro they don't expect to resign him.
Both teams have windows that have closed and both teams have front offices that are living in the past. The Suns off season has been a disaster, they let Amare leave and are now think Warrick/Turk will be an adequate replacement. Every other Spurs fan on this site is scoffing this trade (as they should be), Matt Bonner was a re ed contract but nothing worse than Hedo's. Spurfan should by no means be happy with how their team is running things, but the Suns are way worse now.
Thanks for the update![]()
Yeah because he sucks. He would fit right in.
Just to give you an idea of how much turnover that team has had...
@the_real_nash
Today's the end of an era. My close friend Leandrinho leaves the Suns making me the last player from 04-07. Great memories. Boa sorte irmao!

Would be interesting to know how Nash felt about them trading one of his really good friends on the team.
@ Toronto screwing the trade up for themselves getting diaw.
he is ticked
he was the last teamate he had since 2007
that is how much this roster has changed
Trade: Diaw, Chandler to Toronto; Calderon to Charlotte
The news out of Toronto and Charlotte is that the deal — which is part of the Turkoglu/Barbosa trade as well – is all but complete: “The Charlotte Bobcats are close to sending Boris Diaw and possibly Tyson Chandler to the Toronto Raptors in a three-way deal including the Phoenix Suns that would acquire point guard Jose Calderon and at least one other player, a source from one of the three teams involved confirmed … The financial gains are significant. Barbosa has two years and $14.7 million left on his current contract; Diaw has two years and $18 million remaining and Chandler will be paid $13.1 million this coming season. Turkoglu still had four years and about $40 million left on his deal and Calderon has three years and almost $30 million left to go.”
