Three Reasonable Headline Trades (No Love)

Terrence Ross

Could Terrence Ross Be The Next High-Flyer To Come To Phoenix Via Trade?




Holeman1 here, and before I set of on a trip where I will likely be out of town for a month or so, I have collected my thoughts and put them together into a list of three reasonable trades with teams that would 1. be great fits for our team, and 2. be good deals for the opposing team, lets get started out big:

HEADLINE: Atlanta's Big Al Comes to Phoenix, Bledsoe to Bucks in Three Team Deal

Phoenix gets: Al Horford, Brandon Knight

Phoenix gives: Eric Bledsoe (S&T max), 2 First Round Picks (Minny and LA's)

Atlanta gets: John Henson, Ersan İlyasova, 2 first round picks

Atlanta gives: Al Horford

Milwaukee gets: Eric Bledsoe (S&T max)

Milwaukee gives: John Henson, Ersan İlyasova, Brandon Knight

How This Trade Benefits Everyone:

This trade includes three main factors, 1. the Eric Bledsoe anomaly (will Bledsoe be willing to move on to a bad team currently for max?), 2. the Al Horford equation (he is the center for their team, how much do the Hawks want for him?), and Milwaukee's function (how much does Milwaukee value Bledsoe at?), I evened all this up, and by the end of it, Phoenix gets it superstar up front without sacrificing the Morii and also get a solid replacement for Bledsoe, Atlanta gets a thorough rebuilding package complete with picks, a expiring contract, and a couple guys to fill in the Horford, everything you need to rebuild like a (future) champ. the Bucks get their #3 Star to pair with the Greek Freak and Jabari, if this trade went through, the Bucks could have a Cinderella season if they figure out how to recuperate without Henson and Ersan İlyasova. everyone is happy (except for Atlanta fans).

HEADLINE: Terrence Ross Brings His One Man Circus To Phoenix, Ennis To His Home Country

Phoenix gets: Terrence Ross

Toronto gives: Tyler Ennis (rights), First round pick (Minny's), Second Round Pick

How This Trade Benefits Everyone:

unlike the last trade, this trade is simple, we take a gamble on Ross, who looks very promising as a wing shooter, and in exchange Toronto gets the guy they liked from day 1 of the draft season. obviously Ennis does not look NBA ready at the moment, so giving up a big developing asset for a unsigned rookie with a 'meh' Summer Leauge performance is bad on paper, but the Suns sweeten the deal up and give Toronto a first and a second round pick in 2015. I think Toronto has enough wing depth to be able to give up Ross at the moment.

HEADLINE: Eric Bledsoe To Cleveland to Join LeBron, Bennett and Thompson To Phoenix

Phoenix Gets: Tristan Thompson, Anthony Bennett

Cleveland Gets: Bledsoe (S&T non-max)

How This Trade Benefits Everyone:

This trade would have to be hard not to include Love in it, but I made it work. stuck behind guys like Lebron and Wiggins at SF, Cleveland will have Anthony Bennett stuck on the bench next year in favor for more exciting options, this leads to his movement to Phoenix, where he will complete with Warren for that SF/PF part-time role, and if worst comes to worst, we can stash him on the Jam and re-evaluate him later when the Morrii become UFA's, its only a matter of time IMO before his expectations (and thus national hate and stress) begin to drop and then he can really shine. the Suns also receive Tristan Thompson, a very active 4, and while he is not a stretch guy, he is a lockdown defender and a solid rebound with a knack for inside shooting. Cleveland on the other hand keeps itself flashy with a new guy to put behind (or alongside) Kyrie Irving, and with Dion Waiters there in the backcourt too, this may as well be the deadliest backcourt in the nation. I think Bledsoe takes a less-than max offer because of the promise of a very good championship run with his friend Bron-Bron. a lot of you are probably saying "Why Would We Give Up Bled For These Average Players?!?!?!?", I personally believe that Rich Paul and Bled could help force a trade like this due to the fact that they would get championship-rich this way.

like I said, I will be out for about a month, maybe less, these trades are sketchy, but I feel they would benefit the team very much, give feedback and your own trades below, GO SUNS!
