    Saying the word "Felton" is like saying "munsoned" in kingpin

    Maybe we can rent Derrick Williams from the Kings.

    Butler is pretty much dookie at this point imo.

    What if we got in on a threeway trade?

    Phoenix gets:
    Greg Monroe
    Thomas Robinson
    Will Barton

    Detroit gets:
    Goran Dragic
    Dorell Wright

    Portland gets:
    Gerald Green
    Caron Butler

    Our lineup looks like:

    Dame/Blake
    Wes/Green
    Batum/Butler
    LA/Freeland
    Rolo/Kaman

    I still say that Blake and Kaman are the only "good" guys we have coming off the bench.....the rest I just hope they hold their own or don't hurt us.

    Green would be the final piece to a championship contender. Why would Phoenix trade him though?

    I have more faith in crabbe than mccollum to develop into a consistent player off the bench.

    He's a free agent, I think. Honestly, that dude is going to get a nice contract. He's not that old and he has definitely earned it.

    They'd play the unique "five center" offense.

    The Morris twins aren't really power forwards. They're small forwards in a power forwards body.

    I really like green. Liked him back when everyone thought he would never develop into anything, I just always liked him. But Butler, although I like him, is aging and has had a bunch of injuries. Not sure Butler will be there at playoff time, but it might be worth the risk.

    I don't like Butler. Green would be amazing. Blake is sensational. He had 6 assists in the 4th quarter and was a +27. We were breathtakingly good when he was on the court.

    Blake/Kaman are great. No complaints at all. I just want a wing like Green. I think that would cement us as a true contender.

    Yeah a 3/2 wing solidifies a perfect 8-man rotation for the playoffs. I'll be honest, I think Crabbe might be that guy in two years, but this team won't be the same in two years.

    Uncle Paul has got to be thinking it's go time. And you know what's nice? Damn near every contract is RLEC this year. Someone will bite.

    Isn't the GM or owner of the Suns gay? If so, start there...

    What could we realistically offer Phoenix for Green? Id probably give them our first round pick. Yolo

    Yup. Green is perfect too. He can shoot, he's athletic, he can slash. He is tall enough to play the two or the three. He is the ideal bench wing that we need.
