On CSNNE Sports Central he just said
"Bass and Melo for Gortat rumor has been circulating"
-
I know it's Blakely, but if true I would love that deal

Some sort of dope has been circulating -- I'm just not sure whether it's in Phoenix or in CSNNE.
-
I like this rumor!
-

Doesn't seem toooo farfetched. Bass has put together some solid games in the past couple weeks and Gortat stumbled into the all-star break likely reducing his trade value.
-
I know it's Blakely, but if true I would love that deal
Ditto on both counts. Would be a massive upgrade for us.
-
Has wishful thinking been circulating with this rumor?
-
That's too good to be true. If that happens, somebody in Phoenix is probably getting fired.
-
Would be nice if Sherrie was actually an insider and could break some news!
-
Yeah it is Sherrod reporting this (lol.) The same guy who said Cousins was on a flight to Boston last month.
Anyway, if true I would think Phoenix would find OKC's offer (reported earlier) of Perkins, Lamb and 1st more appealing than Bass and Melo.
-
Is it a comfort to know that there are wonkier wonks out there than good old A. Sherrod?

I'd love this trade but its Sherrod so im not getting my hopes up

“@bleedCELTSgreen: Bass/Fab about $7.2M combined. Gortat makes slightly more than $7.2M so yeah, the money does work.
-
Sherrod's sources are his grandma's next door neighbor's dry cleaner, who heard it on a public access sports station that broadcast out of Phoenix

Unless the suns are getting Sully or Bradley/lee, it makes zero sense for them .

The money works, but the talent doesn't. I can see Danny making the offer, I can't see the Suns saying yes. Be nice to get Gortat, though.

Please please please please please

Boston needs some bodies if they do that deal

This is true as well... Bass is a long term contract and our first round pick, if included, probably wont be super appealing (15-20 range). Why commit to him?
-
lol, if this comes true Phoenix should find ways to disenfranchise themselves from the league. Worst deal ever for them

maybe we are giving them a 1st rounder too?

If this were true, it would probably mean Green playing 20mpg at the PF spot.

Blakely is such a tool. Circulating where? CelticsBlog? RealGM?

Okay, say we offer them *2* 1st rounders. I still don't think they do it.

...Bass and Melo?

lololol. Good one Sherrod.

its gonna happen!!! :o ;D
Bos Gets = 1st from Phx

I would never do Rondo for Gortat
-
It's basically Bass and a first for Gortat, which isn't that bad for PHX. Just because he has worn out his welcome in Boston doesn't mean that he is considered horrible everywhere.
Maybe they've seen Melo play in the D-League and like what they see in his potential.
I get that it probably won't happen, but it isn't such a joke - it's not like Gortat is Cousins.

color me green but I feel like we could get more back for Rondo... unless the pick isnt protected
-
Best trade proposal i heard all year!! Do it!!!! I think Gortat is only player C's are seriously looking at
-
If this were true, it would probably mean Green playing 20mpg at the PF spot.
Yep, Green would split his time between backing up KG at the 4 and Pierce at the 3. KG would start at the 4 and play about 30 minutes, Gortat would start at the 5 and play 36 minutes. Green, Wilcox and Collins would eat up the rest of the time at the 4/5. I would work for the C's, but like someone wrote it will take a lot more than Bass/Melo to do it...maybe Bass and Sullinger (if Sully was healthy) or Bass and Bradley.
-
On CSNNE Sports Central he just said

DO IT NOW DANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If true of course.......................... ;D
-
Bass has a higher efficiency rating than Perk and is paid less. So, I don't see why many seem to think OKC's offer is so much better.
I do think we would have to include a 1st rounder.

OKC's offer includes a much, much better prospect in Jeremy Lamb than Fab Melo.
-
This is the kind of deal we are talking about. ;D
-
We need an "Official Sherrod's ridiculous/bogus trade speculation"
-
If this should go down, it should clear up any doubts about who Santa Claus is - it's Bob Sarver.
-
Clearly teams are going absolutely gaga for Fab now that they know he's "available".
-
well, the suns did sell us the draft pick that became rondo. of course, they also got joe johnson from us for tony delk and 30+ games of rodney rodgers...so...
-

TP. This made me laugh out loud.
-
This would be the perfect time for the law of averages to catch up with Sherrod and have him be right about something for a change.
Bass and Fab for Gortat? I'm overjoyed just thinking about that score.
-
Yeah it is Sherrod reporting this (lol.) The same guy who said Cousins was on a flight to Boston last month.
Anyway, if true I would think Phoenix would find OKC's offer (reported earlier) of Perkins, Lamb and 1st more appealing than Bass and Melo.
Perkins has an awful contract. I think Bass, Melo and a pick would be more attractive. Would really like to see Gortat in green if that's the price.
-
Has wishful thinking been circulating with this rumor?
hahaha
that was funny.
-
Suns need another power forward for sure.
-
On CSNNE Sports Central he just said

It must be the case that a first round pick is included on such s trade. And a first from Boston is more valuable than s first from OKC.
-
I've been talking about getting this guy since the start of the season. They need to get him if possible could be a big help.
-

“@bleedCELTSgreen: Bass/Fab about $7.2M combined. Gortat makes slightly more than $7.2M so yeah, the money does work.
He was answering a fans question about if bass/fab worked money wise. He wasn't saying that its going to happen. I saw that tweet.
-
Don't see phoenix taking an extra year of Bass to just get Melo.
Melo is just such a long term project and most teams don;t have the patience for that. Boston is a patient organization.

phoenix has no choice but to be patient..they're going no where for at least a couple years

I'd take Sherrod more serious if he yelled at everyone.

OKC has Toronto's first to offer, but Bass is 50% cheaper than Perk. Who's better is up for debate, but better doesn't matter since Phoenix is foolish for having forced themselves to trade Gortat.
-
I mean, get serious. If the Suns trade Gortat for Bass and Melo I'm going to apply for their GM job the following morning.
Sherrod goes from bad to worse.
-
BSherrod creating all these rumors in his head just so he has something to say on telivision.
If Sullinger was involved in this deal, then it might be a little more believable.

would you trade Rondo and Bass for Gortat, Dragic and a couple 1sts?
-
would you trade Rondo and Bass for Gortat, Dragic and a couple 1sts?
I've never been a huge Rondo fan, and personally, I would definitely. Dragic is a great PG, the dropoff between him and Rondo is not that big specially when you start throwing around first round picks from a franchise as awful as the Suns.

Suns have multiple 1sts... their own (which is untouchable probably)... also Memphis and the Lakers, i think.
-

throw in Jarred Dudley and I likely would.

I'm not the biggest Rondo fan either, but there is a substantial dropoff from him to Dragic. Dragic may be the better shooter, but clearly inferior in every other aspect of the game.
With that said, I would do the Dragic/Gortat/Dudley/first for Rondo/Bass. All three guys would fit in very well with our nucleus. We get a passing/shooting natural PG, a SG with size who can hit three's, and a tough rebounder. Really good trade IMO.

Rondo is better than dragic but gortat is a major upgrade over bass

If you are serious about winning this year then you trade Rondo. If not then why keep Pierce if you can actually get a Josh Smith for him?
If you aren't getting anything worth your time for either, likely the case and nothing wrong with it, then just plan for next year and one more run.
