I don't mind the idea of Archie Goodwin though.

But I think a trade like this is something that could help the team.

I'd really love to get TJ Warren from the Suns - I like that kid a lot. He's probably not available.

Also Woj tweeting tonight implying that Shabazz Muhammad or his agent wants him out of Minnesota.

I think we need shuffling of our complimentary players. I dont see us getting first rd picks like Warren for secondary players or bigger contract players. Goodwin is behind too many guys in Phoenix and Morris was a 16-6 46% F last year--its an offense punch and an athletic lift.

why trade Fisher or why trade D Williams & KOQ?

Neither is really playing for us, but some feel they have talent - lets see if we can trade 2 guys and get something back.

My point on trading Fisher is even if you make this trade, and get talent back, seemingly, there may not be a guarantee that Fisher will use them to maximize their abilities/contributions.

Oquinn will eventually get his chance to show his wares here and I think he will be productive. Seraphin is FA at year end, maybe he gets shopped down the line instead. Not crazy about Williams overall game but last thing we need to do is give away someone who can score on second unit for a potential malcontent. Bench could have used Schved

I wrote this post as an example of what we can potentially do. Id like to see some of the complimentary players changed. This particular trade youd get an athletic and offensive upgrade. Im sure we can go around to 15 teams and look at what is what etc.. but I think this teams needs this. There will be no change in our play as is.

Agree with surveying the landscape as this is nowhere a finished product that can contend. Think Phil did well beyond drafting KP and Grant (hopefuly) , but primarily by unloading more than adding, most additions (not including draft picks) are decent complements as you say but none are pillars. With the benefit of hindsight, he could have added some firepower to bench perhaps a Thornton but do like that Phil has given us flexibilty to make changes however slow and frustrating that may be

In sports I hate giving up seasons. While NO oNE is interested in panic moves--if Im swapping $-$ if I think I can improve the team I would do it. Id like to sign Affalo to a 4 yr extension after this season---but Id rather move Melo Oquinn and Williams out for new complimentary parts/draft picks etc..
