Trade idea that DA is trying for

[gpap]

I mean I'd love gortat on this team but I just feel like other teams could offer the suns a much better offer than us.

They might go for it if we swallow Beasley's contract.

Exactly. I think Jeff Green and Bass for Beasley and Gortat is pretty fair for both teams.

Phoenix isn't going anywhere and at least they get some decent talent in return. Maybe we can throw them a pick if we have to.

I do agree if we run it back one more time, then Gortat would be a great pick up. Also, though Beasley has been a bust so far, I still think there's some untapped talent there. Surround him with positive people like KG, Pierce and Doc, and a lot of people might be surprised.

Playing for horrible teams like Minny and Phoenix isn't exactly a dream job for a basketball player.

I'd get creative trying to get gortat to the celtics but no way I'd give up green AND take Beasley what a downgrade.
Bass terry and lee or Crawford, with a sign andtrade

I don't think Phoenix agrees to that. I would do it as I am not  that big of a Jeff Green fan and would rather have more size on the team.

Gortat isn't good enough for us to swap #16 for #30.  Gortat doesn't make us a contender, so long term all you're doing is giving up on Melo really quickly and getting a worse prospect in the draft.

I definitely don't agree.  A center who averages 11 and 8.5 in a down year is easily worth that.  Plus when you add in he's only 29 and makes 7.25 million. You add assets and that's something he definitely would be.  Name a Center in this draft that will give you those #'s?  The answer is none. Now there's no way I'd even talk trading Green for him.
