Trade idea

by jdpourciau on Dec 12, 2008 2:52 PM MST

Whatup Suns fans? I imagine that you guys are pretty stoked about the trade as you essentially got a great scorer for peanuts. Anyways, I had a trade idea that Iwanted to run by some Phoenix fans. I imagine some will scoff, but its good to get some perspective. Heres my trade idea.

3 team trade:

Phoenix trades Barbosa and Tucker for Jamal Tinsely, Julian Wright, and New Orleans first round pick.

Indiana trades Jamal Tinsely for Morris Peterson

New Orleans trade Mopete, Juju, and a first for Barbosa.

I think with the addition of J Rich there will be limited shots. Additonally Ukic has not impressed, and the older nash gets the more they need a real backup. Also, Phoenix still lacks for athleticism, and for players with a defensive mindset. I think Dudley is great but he isnt very atheltic. Juju gives you a good facilitator who can play good d, and is very athletic. He actually reminds me a bit of Diaw. And I think Tinsley can still play. Addtionally if you didnt want juju, I think that Indiana would be willing to give us the Raptors pick for him, so that you could get two picks, one of which will probably be a lottery pick.

Tell me what you think Thanks.

I am not ready to move Tucker

If we move LB we need a backup SG and Tucker is a great fit behind JRich.

I also would want a more veteran big. I am not sold in Wright.

Tinsley isn’t a horrible idea but I think if we are going to get a PG, I would like one of the young guns like Crittendon, Lowrey, Conely, Bobby Brown, Will Bynum, etc.

agreed.

especially with jamaal tinsley’s track record for injuries. we’ve got enough injury prone players on our team as it stands.

we need big men

i think if we trade barbosa, we would need to get a big man in return. im not sure exactly who is on the “trade block” right now, but dalembert, kaman and pryzbilla could probably be had. dalembert is pretty expensive though. kaman and sergio rodriguez?? i have no idea what’s going to happen, but i would be very surprised if the suns dont pick up some post help by the end of the year. point guards demarcus nelson and marcus williams form GS are prob available for a 2nd rder since the warriors need to cut someone…
