Diaw could put up 15/7/6 for us and guard 5 positions

It we want Diaw, all we have to do is take on Marcus Banks' contract and it is a done deal. In fact a trade of Diaw and Banks and the #23 and #29 pick for Frye, Nate, and Rose should work.

Not a great deal for us, but if you want Almond and possibly another good player at the end of the round, we have to use our great unlimited budget to get it done.

This trade or any trade was dependant on the suns getting the number 4 selection in the draft which they did not so don't expect them to make any moves now.

I agree that the Suns would be more likely to trade if they had gotten the 4th pick, but they are still in win now mode and also have to deal with avoiding the luxury tax. Simply put, they are paying Amare and Marion max money and Nash near max money and Diaw makes $9 mill. That is alot of salary for four players. For a chance to get rid of Banks contract, they might be willing to part with Diaw, especially if we give them young and cheap prospects in Frye and Nate.
