magicbalala245 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Phoenix continues to be intrigued by the idea of gambling on a big man that, when healthy, has the qualities Nash been lobbying for: Chandler's athleticism, defensive presence and mobility. But Phoenix also fears that bringing him in will drag the Suns right back into the sort of financial straits that motivated them to dump Shaquille O'Neal's contract to Cleveland for two players (Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic) who have no future in the desert. Phoenix should pull the trigger. Phoenix will be back to up & down basketball and possibly back in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I like this trade. I have doubt for Wallace as a Sun. Chandler - Stoudemire - Hill - Richardson - Nash It might actually work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 They just traded Shaq to clear up cap room, and now they're going to trade Wallace for Chandler who has a huge contract, and was on and off with injuries last year? Doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 This would be good for the Hornets economically, especially with rumors that Ben Wallace might retire. If he doesn't retire before this season, then he probably will next season. This gives huge cap relief to the Hornets. Also, Chandler would probably be good for the Suns as well. Having Stoudamire and Chandler up front could be deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make sense. Well true but Chandler is a the of center that is athletic and plays defense without clogging the lane like Shaq did in PHX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Honestly does Kerr have ANY sort of plan for this team? Every move he makes counteracts the last one. Pretty much what Force said, smh at Kerr completely demolishing a championship contending team and having nothing to show for it once Amare and Nash peace in 2010.

BlueDevil Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Ya suns are falling apart, but i think if they were to make this trade they could get back into the playoffs. Nothing more then that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNextBestThing Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 OK, this is a step in the right direction if it goes down. We would need to pull a really sweet deal for Stoudemire, and you're looking at a relatively strong team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Why would we trade Ty for Ben? idk if Ben's contract is better than it used to be, but I don't see a financial or skill level reason to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has $14,000,000 owed to him next year and his contract is off the books for the 2010 off-season at the very least. Big cap relief.

Flight Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Didn't realize he was considering retirement or that he was expiring soon. Could be a smart move then, especially with Ty's recent problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Didn't realize he was considering retirement or that he was expiring soon. Could be a smart move then, especially with Ty's recent problems. But you would assume that he'd retire soon wouldn't you? His awfully old and is almost at his peak. You can see it.

Klashnekoff Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Good move for both teams.. New Orleans need to change up their roster, i would think a whole front court reconstruction is certainly a must do.. As for the Suns it's even better.. they need to try a final run i say before making anymore decisions and a line-up like: TysonAmareJ-Rich or HillBarbosaNash Would work great for a playoff run..
