"However, the Suns lost leverage by letting this get out and not quieting the rumors all fall that Ariza would be bought out. If that prevents them from finding a good trade package and they let this drag out until the buyout deadline in March, we could be looking at another transactional he-said, she-said that looms over the season"

11. "KCP is playing better of late (after an abysmal start to the season)" In response to Reply # 0 Mon Dec-10-18 11:02 AM by Vex_id
but flipping KCP for Ariza would be a nice little W for this team and would bolster the defense while providing a perfect corner spot up-3 candidate for Kang kickouts.
edit: KCP has veto power on a trade? how'd he pull that off? Lol. That Rich Paul tho.

And BI's value is shaky at best right now. He shows promise, and I'm a big proponent of his, but he hasn't demonstrated real consistency thus far.
He still shows enough promise that someone may by bite on him in a package.
Ariza is a quality vet on both ends, and we may wind up with an in-road to keeping him this summer on the cheap. I wouldn't assume him to be a one-and done necessarily, and I wouldn't cite him as the catalyst for trading BI on his own by any stretch.
But I am increasingly (sadly, in fact) of the belief that BI may not long for this team.
27. "The management has been very clear with their plan" In response to Reply # 17
They aren't dealing the core and it's an extra boon because they're all cost controlled...that's what allows the max slot this summer. Ariza is to get another wing defender who can switch positions unlike KCP (who can only do it effectively on 1's and 2', too slight to slide down), doesn't have a bearing on BI. The team wants depth and lots of it.

52. "Lakers fans: Was Nance this much of a playmaker on your team?" In response to Reply # 0
I had no idea that he could actually be a point-forward and occasional 3 point shooter, but that's what I've been seeing from him in the absence of TT.
Didn't want to burn an entire post on this topic.
He just might end up being the best part of that trade, and not for sentimental reasons.
54. "No. He was tentative in open space, turned down jumpers" In response to Reply # 52
Always had the motor and defensive IQ. He's shoring up some of his weaknesses as he gets consistent, no pressure playing time and credit to him; always rooting for him.
