Suns News: Week 17 (2/6 - 2/12)

[Mori Chu]

Id trade Craig and a couple second for Kenrich Williams

I think OKC likes him way too much to do a deal like that.

[JeremyG]

I don’t think Ishbia is done. That’s why he wanted this deal done tonight.

Just skimming through the thread
Many are hoping for "A Healthy KD" because of how crazy our offense will be

That goes without saying how formidable we could potentially be.
What I think people are missing tho is that the key to the Warriors was how impactful KD became on D. He was basically their rim protector and his rebounding defensive contributions was what really made their "small ball lineup" even more deadly

So when I think of him being fully healthy
That's the key, he will always get buckets in his sleep but if he can still lock in on the boards and on D we will be in a very good spot

I don't know what else he can do. The cupboard is now bare so to speak. Our next move will come from the buyout market or be a bench guy & 2nd rounders type thing. I wouldn't expect Ayton to be going anywhere.

[Democritus]

What about DA for Siakam?

[Split T]

Don’t need Siakam anymore…we just need a 5th starter…that guy will probably spend entire offensive possessions being completely ignored…All they need to do is be able to hit an open 3 and be a opportunistic cutter…Craig might actually make some decent sense.

[Mori Chu]

The thing that's too bad is, that damn fool Jae Crowder would have been a pretty good 5th starter, if he hadn't been a whiny bitch and pouted his way out of town.

Yup.
Ayton has more value than Siakam on this roster. He is the perfect center to pair. I think having KD now too will build up Aytons focus. But Ayton is going to feast inside provided we have a 3 and D guy who the defenses wont slack off. I hope the suns go get a 5th starter who can defend and shoot. I am not interested in Thybull when we have Okogie. I love Craig but he just needs to park his ass in the corner quit trying to do too much.

[Split T]

I still have eyes on Josh Richardson…and Eric Gordon

[Kryptonic]

I still have eyes on Josh Richardson…and Eric Gordon

I feel like the Gordon thing will happen…. Like the KD trade, just too much noise around him coming here to ignore.

[Wally_West]

I still have eyes on Josh Richardson…and Eric Gordon

Yes please.

You could trade Payne and Craig and multiple 2nds for Josh Richardson

Sigh Eric Gordon and even Will Barton if they get bought out.

We might be able to get one of the Bogdanovic’s for contract(s) plus 2nd round picks/1st round pick swaps.

Bojan?

[Split T]

Bojan would kill it, but Detroit isn’t moving him for 2nds. Rumor was all Spurs wanted for Richardson was matching salary and a 2nd. I’d do that in a heartbeat.

We could trade Shamet/Saric/2nd for EG..I think I’d let him get bought out though.

[Wally_West]

[Split T]

I think we don’t trust whether Payne will again play this season. Would’ve loved to include a Payne for Curry or Mills swap in the deal.

[Split T]

[Kryptonic]

Now if he’d come for the vet min I’d be ok with his off the court drama

[Split T]

We’ll sign and trade Shamet/Payne for him haha

[Wally_West]

They really gonna sign and trade Kyrie for Ayton in the offseason huh??
