What are we missing here?

Frye does great when properly used to his strengths as evident in his rookie year. What was asked of him last year that killed his confidence?

Since we are not privy to such things, then lets not trade him and watch him blossom under a different regime and want him back.

Grass is always greener.

Keep Frye. Work it out!!

Isiah to Frye: "Step up this year."

That easy.

What am I missing for how this trade works? Trade checker shows the salaries not matching up at all.

the premise of this--this is where i take advantage of
A. a team that will try to cut payroll
B. a player who has tremendous skill who was hurt utilyzed poorly this year[who is still very young]
C. adding a SIGNIFICANT veteran big time player who can play anywhere 1-5
D. using $$$ leverage and some of our young assets who MIGHT not fit here to bring in that vet player AND give us the chance to swap up young players.

What does Boris Diaw bring to the Knicks? he can MOVE the ball from the point forward.

He can guard the 1 at 6-9

He can take advantage in the post going small at 6-9

He can play any position he's interchangeable

Remember Baron Davis scked when he was hurt and poorly used as well.

This gives Phonix the ability to lose 30MM in long term payroll for a player who played Amare's position last year and DOES not have a good role there now. We can say balkman 3 this that--I say Diaw is one helluva ballplayer who was hurt wasnt used right and has PROVEN what he can do at the biggest level-- and if you have a short emmory go look at the 2006 playoffs

The Suns also get two young bigs at a very cheap price--one happens to be perfect for their system and can do well there FRYE for taking on that salry--the going rate is also an extra pick
Pheonix is NOT taking 3 picks you can count on it.

I think its a good deal for both team quite frankly. We dont have to take almond and williams. Whoever IT thinks we should get there--so be it--he has proven his skills in the later 1 st round.

I think you are right. The Suns are not drafting 3 rookies. They need players that know what they are doing to make another title push. It is just going to boil down to who gives them the best deal for their picks.

....the matrix trade = jj + frye + rose. suns load up for bulls trade

I wouldn't even want Malik Rose on my YMCA team so what earthly reason would the Suns want him?

And why would they trade Boris Diaw? To cut payroll? Please.

I don't know man. The guy is only averaging 10points, 4rebounds and 5assists in 31 minutes per game.

It's hard to argue that you play 31minutes in the Suns systems and you aer not get touches.

Why would you pay someone 9mm $ a year as a role player--which is what Diaw morphed back into when Amare Stoudemire came back. Now I *remember* just how good diaw was playing the 5 spot when Stoudemire was out. I can see him as a multi-dimensional 1-5 player with long arms who is still very young and could have a serious 32-34 minute role here. Pheonix gets both Channing Frye[who should be MUCH better AND needed in AZ] a young big in Morris and a quality bnch sub in Rose against certain teams-- when there are injuries etc.. And at the end of the day if Im just giving up Frye and adding a pick[ and I think that Phoenix will accept this because of the $$$$]+ a veteran who will help THIS particular team much more than Frye

I mean adding Diaw and drafting a combo like Almond and Williams could *finish* the product here

You would have a line up of
C-Curry 6-11
F-Balkman 6-7
F-Diaw 6-9
G-Crawford 6-4
G Starbury 6-2
C Williams 6-10
F Lee 6-9
G Collins 6-6
G Q-Rich 6-6
G Almond 6-6
