    I keep hearing on Podcasts and NBA radio shows that the reason its so quiet is that not many teams have really given up on the season so there are a ton of Buyers and few if any sellers.

    So, what you're saying is...now would be the time to trade players for picks and really go for the tank? :devilwink:

    Usually, it's one or two moves that the rest of the league is waiting on. Once the big moves are settled, the rest of the teams can go about their ways.

    This year, we are probably waiting on PHX and NOP to figure out what to do with Morris and Anderson, respectively.

    You certainly could ask for a high price since they are so many buyers. CJ for 3 unprotected 1st rounders from the suns.

    I doubt that there are 10 players in the league for whom you could get 3 unprotected #1's. CJ is not one of them.

    Shape a 3 way trade to get 2 from Boston one from the Suns and some bench fodder for CJ and Meyers?

    I kinda like this next trade.
    We basically act as a salary dump for the Suns but in return we get a player who is a pretty good fit for Damien in the back-court.
    We can add Morris too, but i don't think you guys are ready for it yet.

    Managing minutes for Bledsoe would be a bit tricky, but i thought about something along the lines of him starting with Dame, bench him at the 4:00 mark for CJ,then bring him at the start of the 2nd qrtr instead of Dame until in the 7:00 minute mark.
    He should get 24-28 minutes every game and if it doesn't work out we still got a great trade asset in our hands.

    Chandler has 4 years on his contract though. He'll be 37 by the time it's up.

    But we pay Plumlee rookie money so we'll have to swallow that one.

    I'm sorry--why exactly would the Suns give up their best player for nothing?

    I just learned Bledsoe suffered yet another season ending knee injury. I don't want him even if it's straight up for Leonard and Frazier.

    What kind of assets is he expecting to get back for those guys? Sadly,
    I doubt we'd get even a low second round pick at the most. Meyers recent play makes him worth about as much as a used mustard dispenser at the Memorial Coliseum. We got a lot of guys who need time to develop. Guess we have to wait it out.

    Suns are desperate to unload Morris...he'll have to be the guy you trade for with Phoenix I think.. they'd probably take Meyers for him
