Phoenix Suns trade for Hedo Turkoglu and Josh Childress

[Lamrock]

Nevermind that Chandler's an expiring, 5 years younger than that Nazi Mohammed is coming off a fluke season.

[Axel The Great]

right... about hedo he was not happy at toronto, it will be good for him so phoenix:

pg - nash/dragic
sg - j-rich/childress
sf - turkoglu/hill/clark
pf - frye/warrick
c - lopez/d.jones/collins

they need a great c...

At least this time you didn't put Kobe Bryant in the lineup like you did with the Nets.

Dead brain cells >> Badgers brain cells

Robin Lopez actually is a solid C..exactly the kind of roleplayer i think that needs to be there for the Suns. If we see the hedo of old i'd play some small ball and put in hill or clark when Frye is shooting the suns out of games.

As shadowgrin said: In Nash I trust.

[Sauru]

yeah me too. i trust nash up til the second round

[Valor]

Nevermind that Chandler's an expiring, 5 years younger than that Nazi Mohammed is coming off a fluke season.

precisely, Tyson Chandler is still only 27 and entering his prime...he just needs another good point guard to work with like how he had Chris Paul back in New Orleans to be productive again

[Alejandrov011]

Nice move the Childress one.. Better replacement than Barbosa because Dragic ate his minutes

I want to see what happens with Turkoglu... I'm not so in with this trade, most because the year he had in Toronto... But time will tell

Now.. I think the Suns should bring back Raja Bell. Great defensive player and a great locker room presence.. And he's close friend of Nash.. Any opinion?


OFF: Im back at the forum after almost 8 months

[Rip32]

What the hell does this mean for my boy Jared Dudley? Childress backs up J-Rich and Hill splits time with Hedo, does Dudley move over and play a little under-sized power forward off the bench?

[benji]

Well, maybe not...

Charlotte owner Michael Jordan has had "second thoughts" on trade with Toronto and deal is suddenly in peril, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Isn't the Suns trade a separate 1 for 1 player swap?

[Lamrock]

Not quite. Dwayne Jones is going to Charlotte I believe.

[benji]

It started as a deal between Phoenix and Toronto, and then separate deals between Toronto and Charlotte, but it apparently turned into a three-way trade at some point yesterday.

I assume the Phoenix-Toronto deal still happens anyway.

Raptors were close to dumping Calderon's contract.

[shadowgrin]

Reggie Evans, who was to be part of the deal and had already thanked Raptor fans for their support.

Boris Diaw, also rumoured to be Toronto-bound until things fell apart, probably doesn’t care one way or another, that’s the kind of laid back guy Diaw is.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

To be honest I was disappointed about his change of Orlando to the Raptors and now to the Suns from Arizona. Let's see Something out of it is

Go Hedo Go maybe your Shine is in Suns-Team

[Kenny]

The Childress signing is going to make me like the Suns a whole lot more... dammit

[Oznogrd]

Childress is a done deal, any word on the status of the Turkoglu fiasco?

[benji]

It was a done deal. Charlotte just backed out, Phoenix and Toronto were always making the trade.

Well the suns took their sweet time announcing it then. Apparently its "official" in the past couple of hours.

[Sauru]

i think hedo can really shine with the suns great move for him personally.

Just state your point and say racist jokes.

[23tarambaba23]

Hedo is a coward in his national team who plays like dumb. But in the league he plays unbelievable. There's lots of bad question for him. He's always be a sixth man i think. Maybe @ Suns will play better then ever.

i hate polemics but i m sorry to say that. cuz i must do.

puttincomputer, u r not a racist. u r totally idiot. pls google it where are Hedo from. And wiki it then. TURKS ARE NOT arab.
