Hawks Fly High Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Phoenix just lost their best offensive threat not named Steve Nash to take a washed up Vince, another 3 point shooter and a much needed big man. Great deal for Orlando though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks Fly High Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Vince needs a ring. He expires after this year and a real contender should sign him, he still has more to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Hedo wasn't doing much for the Suns anyway so he was expendable. I'm not so sure why the Suns traded away Jason Richardson, Vince Carter is a downgrade but he's not exactly washed up. Adding Gortat is a big time plus, the Suns really needed a true center who can defend and rebound.

Hawks Fly High Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 So now they have Nelson, Arenas, J-Rich, and Hedo. Who goes to the bench?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 So now they have Nelson, Arenas, J-Rich, and Hedo. Who goes to the bench?? It's probably going to be Nelson/Arenas, J. Richardson, Turkoglu, Bass, Howard. Bench would be Nelson/Arenas, Redick, Q. Richardson, Clark/Anderson, Orton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) [expletive] we wanted to get Gortat from the Magic! Great Trade for the Magic but not so much for the Suns as VC is not even half the player he use to be, but that expiring is very nice.

Make It Naaaashty Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I guess it's a good start for our rebuilding process with a big VC expiring, loved J Rich even though he was inconsistent as hell. We needed a defensive center which we got in Gortat, hopefully it'll reduce Frys playing time. Also got a 2011 1st rounder from the Magic so it was a pretty solid trade.

Nitro Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'm not quite sure why the Magic want Hedo back. His main strength with the Magic was his playmaking ability, but with Arenas now on the team, that role will not be the same. Also, they have to now deal with his crappy contract, although to be fair it isn't much worse than Gortat's. Love the VC for J-Rich swap, though.

Owner Real Deal Posted December 18, 2010 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Vince will absolutely love Steve Nash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I woke up this morning all happy and stuff then I turn on the computer happened to open Facebook and some guys talking about some trade on Facebook, I check RealGM and there it is. Wow. I'm really surprised we decided to trade away Jason Richardson but I guess extension negotiations and all that weren't looking so good between the Suns and him? It's great that we're getting Gortat, hopefully he does bring the defensive inside presence he wasn't able to show in Orlando. As for Vince I do hope he can perform well, he'll probably be our #1 option on the team so he better not disappoint. Mickael Pietrus isn't going to get as much playing time as he hoped really, we already have a lot of wings and this trade was a 2 for 2 wing trade really. All in all I can't wait to see what happens for both teams, well actually the three teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Vince will absolutely love Steve Nash.I'm looking at it like the Jason Kidd situation. After a while, Kidd hated Vince because he lacked the passion needed to win. I'm curious to see how this relationship turns out between VC and Nash.

Finch23 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Rumors are Suns looking to trade Childress.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Howard gets help now, gets change. Hedo had nothing left in Toronto, and even less in Phoenix. “They wanted to trade him halfway through training camp,” one league executive said. Either Hedo or Arenas are going to be relegated to a spot up shooter, one of them will be underutilized. Also does Arenas start at the 2? I just see too many scorers on this roster and not enough role players/defenders. Nice job by Phoenix dumping Hedo's contract though, hopefully Nash is dealt to a contender. Vince will definitely be a 20 point scorer again though playing with Nash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonethatownz Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Good trade but I wanted Clark to develop here. His defense was good vs Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonethatownz Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I'd rather trade Hill then Childress due to his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
