Rumors coming out of PHX

[ammofan]

Yesterday the rumors had us acquiring Vince Carter and Hakim Warrick for Tyrus, Boris and Nazr. Now the updated trade has us giving up Boris and Nazr in a 3 team trade and acquiring Chris Kaman and Craig Smith.
Here's my Bobcats blog where you can read about yesterday's rumor, and todays:

I posted this on my site but I will post it here too...The guy who posted these rumors also broke the news about a few other Suns trade in the past, including the Hedo Turkoglu deal 2 weeks before it happened.

DISCUSS!

Wtf is this? Completely random info. Kaman would be awesome though, as long as we don't give Tyrus (He my Baby-Daddy) I'm fine with this

Kaman would be great. I would'nt mind Vince but I dont want to give up Tyrus for him.

i loooooove the kaman/smith - diaw/nazzy trade idea more than the phx deal. i'm assuming the 3rd team adds something to la because what we give up is < than what we get back. done and done..... hope it's true. i like warrick and vince carter (from 5 years ago) and don't want to let go of t2.

I can go for the trade that brings us Kaman & Smith. Though Kaman's injury history is a little bit of a concern, I really, really like his game. And there's no doubt that Craig Smith is much more a Silas/Oakley PF than Boris is. Smith would be a very nice backup to Tyrus once he comes back; I've always liked the toughness and grit Smith brings.

Not excited by this rumor. I would rather see a three team deal with us giving up Jackson and DJ and getting back Nash and R Lopez. Jackson going to a team near contending and DJ + young assets from that team going to the Suns.

Thats unrealistic though. I dont think PHX is ready to let go of Nash.

Im excited about any rumor that nets us another All Star without getting rid of our current AS caliber players.

Any idea on when this would be happening Ammo?

I love the deal with us getting Kaman. I wouldn't be mad at the PHX deal b/c I'm not sure that Ty will ever become what we all believe he can be, but I prefer the LAC deal because if Kaman stays healthy he will provide us the inside presence we need to become a semi-dominant, consistent force in the east. If we get Kaman, I can see us making a huge run and possibly making it out of the first round.

Also, if I'm not mistaken Craig Smith makes around 3m for this year and next. I always pick him up as an extra in trades on 2k, but irl he is a rebounding machine, good solid role player to pick up as well. We are extremely limited with Nazr as our only offensive option down low. I really hope one of these deals go through, preferably with us keeping Ty.

Still not a big fan of Kaman, but if all it took was Boris and Nazr that would be fine with me.

EDIT: Didnt know Kaman had two year on his contract still. I would rather keep Boris and Nazr if thats all we could get. Craig Smith is practically identical to Jeff Adrien, who is currently playing with some D-League team.

He is the type of guy we could really use. Im not sure why nobody has picked him up yet though, maybe theres something I dont know about him.

rumor is completely baseless. his reasoning is that we wanted to "get out of" Tyrus' awful contract. if we wanted to do that, we wouldnt have signed him to that deal literally last offseason. Wince is redundant here as well
