What about trading with Phoenix?

[dnbman]

Suppose we take Barbosa and switch picks with Phoenix so they can take their coveted 3?

We could walk away with something like Barbosa, Arthur/Speights, and Hibbert/Koufos/McGee.

We get a backup pg/sg, a legit PF, and a possible C.

If we get somebody like Weaver in the second or draft a prospect like Goran Dragic and keep him in Europe to develop.

Again, it's not as sexy as trading up to get Beasley, but it would make us much deeper and fill in some serious holes.

Not a bad idea at all. Something to consider.
