    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>DraftExpress - Expect the Suns to find themselves in the teens on draft night, as high up as 13.The Sixers are supposedly willing to move down in the draft in return for the #21 and #27 picks, although the Sixers are somehow hoping to squeeze Leandro Barbosa into the deal in place of the #21 pick.</div>SourceRealGM isn't the most reliable source but how would you feel if this went down. It might be a good move, they can run AI back the two guard and have Barbosa start at PG.

    I would absolutely LOVE to have Barbosa on this team. His drives to the hoop are lightening fast, plus he can shoot.I don't know how accurate this is though, prolly unlikely that it will go down.

    I'd do that deal, simply because we would get Barbosa, and add another draft pick...But like everybody else has said, this is probably unlikely to happen.

    Wow I would love for this trade to go down. We could get an actual good bench player finally or a new starting pg. It would be nice to have to first round picks as well because we could probably get another athletic wingman w/ the 21st pick and maybe another pg w/ the 27th pick. The only thing I dont like about this is I read somewhere that King wants the pick to draft Maurice Ager. I will be so pissed if this happens. LOL we have no need for an undersized sg lol. Billy Kign really makes me wonder sometimes lol.

    I would love for this to happen, but I don't think it will. I mean why would the Suns do this?

    Leandro Barbosa is better than any player that will be going at number 13 IMO, plus the other draft pick. This is stupid

    Personally I'd rather just stay put..that's just me. But I am hearing that Iverson will be a Celtic.

    You know what makes this more interesting? Andy Katz stated today that Utah is pulled out of the possible 3-team deal that sends AI to Boston. Well, he then stated Cleveland was now in the mix.

    Then I read here they want to trade down to the 20's. Well, Cleveland has pick #25. This is so interesting. All I hope for is AI in green lol, get it done somehow!

    In all seriousness, the regarding the Suns trade with Barbosa, Billy King shot down that rumor, and that 3-way one. Once again, Billy King is not going to make a trade....jerk. :brickwall:

    He shot down the 3-way, yes, but Andy Katz said that's because Utah being involved was dead. But he said the Celtics have revived talks and now Cleveland is in the conversation. Cleveland in the conversation, Sixers wanting to move down, Cleveland has #25.

    Billy King ALWAYS shoots down trades, and has a history of keeping his potential moves secret until they happen. So, despite him saying that he isn't looking to do a certain trade, it really doesn't mean anything coming from King.Think back to the Webber trade... that came out of the blue. Think back to the trade that sent Jackson to NJ... yep, out of the blue too. The list goes on and on, but I'm tired and don't feel like thinking too much at the moment.
