Humphries, Blair, protected 1st for morris

[chips93]

its a decent deal for both sides

morris is a headcase, but hes got talent.

this draft looks weak though, i dont think you get much outside the top 9.

might be able to snag someone who is older and can contribute a role now on a cheap deal still

[Done_And_Done]

Phoenix has officially been cured of their testicular cancer

[Spurs m8]

lol Humphries is such a scrub

[tontoz]

I hate Grunfeld. So typical of him. Total desperation move

He traded away the pick that could have landed Curry for Mike Miller/Randy Foye, both on expiring deals.

Its drafts like this where the best players go in the 10-20 range

See the 2013 draft

Who cares:sleeping

[bdreason]

Good move for the Wiz. They desperately need more talent on that front line, even if it means dealing with a headcase.

[HylianNightmare]

Hopefully he blossoms. What veterans are in Washington to help.keep him in check though?

This is a f*cking great move for the Bullets.

Hump/Blair and a protected pick for a very capable player who was the best on his team, on a cheap deal... He didn't want to be in Phoenix either.

Wall/Beal/Morris/Gortat is good.

Porter sucks, Morris if 5x better.

[dunksby]

Suns won the trade clearly IMO.

The only place Markieff wants to be in the same bed as his twin.

[highwhey]

What do the contracts look like for blair and humpries? I hope they're expiring

:roll:


Maybe 4th best on the team.... And that's even stretching it.


Suns robbed the Wizards... I expected any 1st round pick they recieved to be lottery protected... But this one is only protected up to the 9th pick. :applause:

[PejaNowitzki]

who was the best on his team,


:biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

[DMV2]

Got Kieff off waivers some weeks ago. He gonna get all the mins in D.C.

[PejaNowitzki]

Humphries is expiring, Blair has a player option for next year.

Nene

Noicee

[senelcoolidge]

Good trade for the Suns. Wizards just added a cancer to their roster that doesn't show up every game. He won't be a Wizard very long.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Dumbest shit I have ever heard

[Optimus Prime]

Suns on the winning end of a trade for once. :eek:

Terrible deal for the Wizards especially with that first rounder in there. Even without the pick it was a questionable deal, but with the pick it is absolutely horrible.

:kobe:

[Fudge]

I hope he rots wherever he goes.

And I hope Nene puts that ugly mut back in his cage, where he belongs.

[WallIn]

This trade changes nothing, a horrible shooter and a washed up player traded for a proven headcase? Pick doesn't matter, Washington doesn't need another developing 'project'.

All in all, probably a Status Quo.

[SwishSquared]

Great trade for the Suns since they needed to get rid of Morris. Wiz gave up a good draft pick for him. If he pans out, his contract + performance will exceed the EV of that pick probably, but that pick needs more protection.

Also, the 10-20 range in this draft should have nice rotation wings. The problem with this draft is the people expected to like 4-9 aren't good enough to be picked that high in a normal draft.

[livingby3's]

The idea was to get rid of Morris, anything else is a plus. Doesn't matter if the Wiz wins with Morris or not, Suns separating themselves from Kieff is a good start.

Suns getting confident with that 1X pick :lol They have alot of holes to fill though. The frontcourt rotation is as thin as ever

You obviously haven't watched Morris or the Wizards. Morris sucks across the board. No way should we have given up a pick for him.

Well to be fair, Markieff is a more than solid role player if he ever get out of that twins love affair. Besides Kieff was very good playing with Gortat. There's a chance it might work, Wiz are one of the teams I like better, hopefully it works for them

[Relinquish]

Hopefully he blossoms. What veterans are in Washington to help.keep him in check though?

Nene will literally whoop his ass if he does stupid shit.

Also, Gortat and Dudley are two of his best friends.

Porter most definitely does NOT suck. :facepalm

Although I agree with most of the rest.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

My god you're smoking. Think of Kieff like Vince in that he stopped giving a **** before being traded. Kieff averaged 15 and 6 just the year before last.

[OmniStrife]

dat feeling of relief after you finally push through constipation and rid of the shit doe...

[livingby3's]

But they still kept Knight, wonder how Knight will perform playing with Booker when he's back. Think the Suns are wondering as well.

[Hopper15]

I can't believe Phoenix possibly got a lottery pick for this headcase.

[ImKobe]

Morris wanted out of Phoenix, big win for them to get a 1st round in return for a guy that was toxic.

Maybe Washington believes that Markieff will love playing for them. For one, he's on the East Coast now so he'll see his brother more often and secondly Wizards have the vets to keep him in check.

[raprap]

Dumb trade wizards :facepalm

He has had 1 good season right before he got paid. Then as soon as he signed the new deal his play fell off. Last season he was an inefficient scorer and a weak rebounder. This season he is obviously worse.

No way should we give up a 1st rounder for a malcontent that the Suns were just looking to dump.

[Mawly-G]

This draft is weak af tho

Even Simmons has been looking suspect lately.

[Sakkreth]

This makes Van Gundy look like a genius.

For making that Dmo trade.
