Not a trade rumor, but Austin Croshere was bought out, and someone on MLive (I know, probably not trustworthy) claims that we've signed him and that a trade is in the works involving a big man -- that's where the "rumor" part comes in.
Say it ain't so, Joe!
The Celtics may want him, by some indications:

Either Veal Scalabrine could use a friend, or Croshere is some kind of side dish.Quote:

From Zeblocksports on Sirius Satellite Radio:
Reportedly the Suns have offered Amare/Barbosa/Tucker for Sheed/Prince/Afflalo.
I don't have a link unfortunately, because it was on the radio. I did find the same thing on the suns board that i post on.
personally, I think it puts Phoenix in absolute win-now mode (as if the Shaq for Marion trade didn't already). It does improve their pick and roll defense with Sheed. Also, prince brings some nice perimeter defense. Both carry finals experience. Afflalo is a nice piece to build around in the future. They'd have somewhat of a logjam on the wings with Hill/Barnes/Prince/Richardson/Afflalo all looking for minutes. They also lose the closest thing they have to a backup pg in Barbosa.
For Detroit, their offense becomes a lot scarier. They also look a little better for the future, as Amare and Barbosa are both pretty young. barbosa/Hamilton off the bench would be something to worry about, no doubt. They would rely a lot on McDyess defensively. Also, i have no clue what they'd plan to do at SF. With afflalo and Prince gone, Herman is the only SF left on the roster. Tucker is more of a SG, and he has been a bench warmer/d-leaguer his whole career. That's the only reason i question the trade.
Anyway, take that for what it's worth. BTW, Phoenix is the team that reportedly offered the trade.
that makes us even smaller. Barbosa, AI and Stuckey? Plus RIP has to play SF full time. That deal would have to change RIP for Tay.
We trade our defense for their offense.
I wouldn't hit it.

Essentially, they are buying Prince for Amare here and as crazy as it might sound I don't know if I like the idea of selling Tay for Amare.
