    Are you referring to LMA or Leonard in your first half of the statement?

    I would gladly take Jerm off their hands. He has lost a few steps, but the dude can still block shots, rebound and score in the paint. He would be a much better replacement over freeland.

    Feeland, Hickson, and Smith for Gortat and O'Neal works perfectly salary wise

    Too bad it doesn't pass the sniff test. Gortat alone is going to take more talent than that.

    They would need one of the two players (Jerm or Gortat) to play out this season. I think we could pry Gortat off their hands this summer though.

    Only if we give them our 1st rounder (assume we have it) or agree to take Beasley back as well.

    Sign and trade Hickson, our first rounder if we don't make the playoffs and maybe Babbitt?

    Dude the kid has talent, but he is a fucking head case man. He would have nothing but problems with Cansuckoff, Quick and the tight ass fans that demand quality characters on this team. It would be a fucking disaster and DMC would whine and bitch like a fucking baby through the process.

    And why would the Suns want Hickson? Gortat does everything they want (and better) from the center position. Him and Dragic also developed a rapport in the P&R.

    Age maybe? If they get a first rounder, young pf hickson and shooter Babbitt who is still young.

    Phoenix is way behind us in rebounding. They could waste a lot of good gortat years waiting for the rebuild.

    The only reasons would be cap space and if Gortat asked to be traded

    The cap space part doesn't fly. The Suns have Gortat for one more year at 7.7 M. A resigned Hickson will get at least that with more years on the contract.

    Zeller is a PF, and white one

    Len is also another quality white American center

    What is it that is not sinking in with some of you?
