Lopez Trade Idea

Bucks andrew bogut has a broken ankle and is out indefinitely. There’s a good oppurtunity for a lopez trade right there! We could offer them lopez for larry sanders,jon brockman and a second round pick. Not the most glamorous offer but still nets us an additional pick in the 2nd round.

This is kind of off the subject, unless we somehow aquire a mid to late first round pick in a lopez deal. I got to see north carolina,florida and washington play tonight and got a good look at some potential suns prospects.

Starting with north carolina vs nc state- marshall looked very impressive with his passing and control of the tempo during the game, barnes and henson were good as usual, but i was most impressed by tyler zeller.

He showed good footwork, good hands, always seemed to be in the right position to recieve a pass in the post and score and had 10 rebounds at the half. He finished with seventeen points and fifteen rebounds. He also showed that he could run the floor and finish with a soft touch. Basically, he did everything that we wished lopez would do from the center position without picking up more than two fouls. He might be the type of backup center we need behind gortat, provided we can get another first round in a trade in order to get him.

After that game i watched florida vs mississippi. The gators trailed until the start of the second half. I was hoping to get a look at brad beal, but he had an off night. Patrick young was pretty impressive however, he pretty much dominated the smaller rebels on the interior and showed he can rebound really well and play solid post defense. He also showed strong finishing ability in traffic and in transition getting way above the rim for some powerful dunks. He would bring an energy and toughness in the paint that we’ve been lacking and would be a solid backup power forward.

The last game i saw was the huskies vs the sun devils. It gave me a chance to see both terrence ross and tony wroten in action. Ross didn’t really look aggressive tonight against the sundevils and finished with 10 points. wroten on the other hand, he showed very good ball skills and pretty much got to the basket any time he wanted. He didn’t really show that he could shoot from the outside, but was aggressive nonetheless and also got to the line a fair amount.

He had a very athletic dunk in traffic at the end of the game and also showed impressive passing ability. He finished with twenty one points. I believe the draft prospects i’ve watched tonight would be available to the suns if we aquired another first round pick in a lopez trade.

The question is what or who can we offer along with lopez to make sure we can get that additional pick and get a chance to grab one of these guys?
