The Suns Couid Speed Up The Wizards Rebuild.

by gregjohnson1229 on Jan 10, 2012 2:26 PM EST

The Suns I am sure are looking to rebuild. I feel like they could be the perfect team to make a trade with. Here is what I am proposing and I'll see how the rest of the Bullets Forever Community feels about it.

Here it goes the Wizards give up Andray Blatche, Jordan Crawford, Kevin Seraphin, Nick Young, Maurice Evans and 2013 1st round pick. The Suns give up Jared Dudley, Channing Frye, Markieff Morris, Shannon Brown and Robin Lopez.

Jared Dudley is an elite defender and a high percentage 3 point shooter. I think he will pair nicely with Chris Singleton. .They could provide a great defensive duo on the wings.

The wizards are in desperate need up a backup Center with the Turriaf injury. Robin Lopez is an upgrade over Ronnie anyway.

Channing Frye will help the Wizards stretch the floor. The biggest problem with the Wizards offense is ball movement. Floor spacing helps ball movement tremendously.

Markieff Morris could be the Wizards future power forward. He his an absolute stud in the making.

Shannon Brown can provide that backup shooting guard role and or play some backup points. He provides perimeter defense, 3 point shooting , and someone who can slash and finish with contact.

Andray is one of the most frustrating players I have ever watched. He has elite talent but doesn't know how to use it properly. He can blow by most power forwards and chooses to take jump shots and fall aways with nobody around him. (The whole point of that shot is to use it when you have someone draped all over you. I often seen Andray do it wide open) He needs to go

Nick Young is going to walk after this year. You might as well get some value while you can.

Jordan Crawford is a ball hog who shouldn't be because he cant shoot and can only thrive on a team where his the primary ball handler with a bunch of D-leauge players and rookies like last years team.

Mo Evans- is a good scrappy player but, I would trade him in heartbeat to get the players from the Suns I am proposing.

Kevin Seraphin is not a starter in this league. He may be able to develop in to a good backup and a spot starter. He is probably body size is built to play center but is too short to play center.

The 2013 first round pick is traded because the Suns are giving up more players wise than the Wizards in this trade.

So far it looks like the Wizards are heading for the lottery again. The Wizards use their 2012 draft pick on either Jeremy Lamb (Has a 7 foot wingspan) or Bradley Beal.

Here could be the prospective rotation

PG Wall - Mack

SG Dudely- Brown

SF Singleton- Vesely-Booker(I think Booker is a SF. He is too short for PF)

PF Frye- Morris-Booker

C MCGee-Lopez.

The Suns GM would die of a heart attack laughing so hard at that trade proposal

by jeffco01 on Jan 10, 2012 2:35 PM EST reply actions

Sorry I dont mean to be a dick but if you are going to post hypothetical trade scenarious at least try to make them SEMI-realistic

by jeffco01 on Jan 10, 2012 2:41 PM EST up reply actions

Why?

They’re getting a likely high lotto pick, 2 expiring contracts (including a potential bargain in Nick Young), & 2 rookie contracts and getting rid of a couple bad contracts of their own. Your reactionis less realistic than the trade proposal.

by Stanicek on Jan 10, 2012 3:02 PM EST up reply actions

What bad contracts are they getting rid of?

they don’t have a single player signed longer or for more money than Blatche

Ernie sold Kwame for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins. The suns are the same team that traded Luol Deng for Jackson Vroman. I don’t even know who Jackson Vroman is. They traded Nate Robinson, and Quentin Richardson for Kurt Thomas and Dijon Thompson. They also drafted Rajon Rondo and traded him to the Celtics with cash too. The drafted Rudy Fernandez and traded him on draft day too for cash. So tell me why the Suns wouldn’t make a stupid trade.

To be fair

Most of their horrible trades were essentially selling draft picks for cash, or trading draft picks for cash. It’s because Sarver is a cheap bastard. When it’s straight up trades for players, the only real bad acquisition of theirs I can remember in recent memory was Marcus Banks from the Twolves. However, this trade would save them some money, so Sarver’s ears would at least perk up.

by jakenbake on Jan 10, 2012 3:57 PM EST up reply actions

It wouldn't save them anything

Dudley makes 4.25 mil (less than many rookies), Lopez and Morris are on rookie deals and Shannon Brown expires this year. The only marginally expensive player they would be giving up is Frye, who makes around 6.5 mil through 2015. That would be completely offset by Dray’s more expensive contract.

You’re asking them to give up a prospect they love (and is playing very well) to get a bunch of crap and a draft pick, and it wouldn’t save them a dime.

by mrmadrew on Jan 10, 2012 4:29 PM EST up reply actions

it's pretty funny

offering an unrealistic trade and then defending it on the grounds that the OTHER team is prone to making stupid trades. This is in contrast to the Wizards who recently traded Ricky Rubio for Mike Miller and Randy Foye (not to mention Chris Webber for Mitch Richmond & Otis Thorpe, Rasheed Wallace for Rod Strickland, etc.)

You don't do a good job selling our guys to the Suns

We need a shake up

Suns are not trading Markieff Morris… sorry not happening. We would have to part with Vesely to get them to think about making that swap and Wizards are not trading him.

We should/coulda had Morris instead of Vesley

by CharGrayJ on Jan 10, 2012 3:02 PM EST up reply actions

Vesley already showed me he isnt very tough. He sat two games with the flu. Many players play with the flu. I understand a game but two?

by gregjohnson1229 on Jan 10, 2012 3:04 PM EST up reply actions

I am pretty sure they were looking for reasons not to throw

him to the wolves…literally…

he isn’t NBA ready…maybe someday…not now…

by DavidDunn on Jan 10, 2012 4:11 PM EST up reply actions

If the Wizards trade 6 commodities they need to try and consolidate all of that and pick up quality in return, not quantity.

VOID!!!

by dt3 on Jan 10, 2012 3:35 PM EST reply actions

true

Isn’t this essentially a crap swap? Basically trading away a bunch of our mediocre to bad players and receiving a bunch of their mediocre to bad players? I’m not so sure any of those suns involved would really improve our team that much?

by Ron Carlos Jeines on Jan 10, 2012 3:48 PM EST up reply actions

Remember 3-4 weeks ago when people were writing fanposts about similar packages being traded for Dwight Howard… now 8 games in and we are trading it for Jared Dudley and a collection of spare parts.

VOID!!!

by dt3 on Jan 10, 2012 5:05 PM EST up reply actions

Jared Dudley

is our Dwight Howard

by mrmadrew on Jan 10, 2012 9:29 PM EST up reply actions

Also

I love J-Dud (really, I do), but he’s not an “elite” defender. He’s very good, but his footspeed is just so slow he can’t really keep up with the Kobe’s and D-Wade’s you would expect an “elite” defender to be able to handle. Of the guys we’re getting, he’s probably the second most valuable, after Morris. Frye is probably the third. Lopez is trash, plus he can’t stay healthy.

One last thing to consider in these trades is that Nick would have to consent to any trade, since he’s on a one-year contract and would lose his Bird Rights if he got traded. If Nick doesn’t want to go to PHX, he couldn’t be included in the deal. Although, he’d get to play with Steve Nash and shoot 3s all day so I don’t see why he’d complain.

by jakenbake on Jan 10, 2012 4:00 PM EST reply actions

Or we could hire a GM that would have drafted Morris in the first place.

no one wants our players…I repeat no one wants our players…..

by WAAAAALL-E on Jan 10, 2012 4:39 PM EST reply actions

Correct

And especially not if it means giving away better pieces like Morris who fit great into their rebuilding plans.

Unlike Ted&Ernie, the Suns are trying to mix good veterans (Nash, Hill, Gortat) to show the young players the way. They also are a first class organization and a beacon of stability in terms of medical staff and FO. They will have to trade Nash for an extra pick + asset I think and trade up in next years draft to get a stud, but I have good faith a competent organization like they are, will successfully rebuild.
