    He wants out of Chiago, do you guys think we have a shot at getting him? It would be nice to have a true center around here. Post comments, the only problem I see is what to give up for him, JJ is too much IMO.

    What sort of benefits could he bring? I'm pretty familiar with the suns players and such but I don't have much awareness outside of that, beyond the big name players of course. I don't think we should trade JJ at all. Maybe jacobsen and a first round pick or something (ala the trade rumors for Nene). Though I'd miss Casey, he's pretty cool and a fun player to watch.

    We have the Bulls 1st round pick, so give that back to them + Jacobsen or something, but getting a real center would be good for the team.

    I just rememberd that, we made that trade on draft day! That deal doesn't look to bad to me. Having a lineup of Nash, JJ, Marion, Amare, and Curry or we can still go small and have Curry come off the bench.

    Wouldn't bringing in Curry slow down the Suns? And although he has only played limited minutes, his stats are not great, he has never played a full season and has underachieved throughout his career. On top of all this, he is playing in the Eastern Conference. In my opinion looking at Seattle, it is better to not have a Center than to have an underachiever.

    Curry doesnt really want a trade, like his agent says, you can see the Bulls forum for the full article, to verify my statement.So its unlikely the Bulls will trade him, even if they would trade him t the Suns he doesnt seems ot fit their playing style of running up and down the floor.

    ^ He was actually running the floor very well in preseason. Maybe its just because its so much better than it was in the past, but he can run the floor a bit better than you may think.

    To a certain extent your right, Curry lost a lot of wait, and he is for once in his career in goos shape.i'm not saying he cant run the floor.Curry just isnt the type of player who who runs up and down the floor every night, and thats how the Suns do things.
