Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
I think it's more likely Kyrie ends up on the Suns than DA ending up on the Mavs...
Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
They gonna give us Kleber, THJ, and Josh Green? Not the worst idea…though Kleber hasn’t shot well the last couple seasons.

Spent all year mocking the Suns and Ayton after the egg we laid last year, now they want Ayton? Hilarious.Wally_West wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 7:48 am

Green would be a must in any deal.
Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
I forgot they have the 10th pick too…I’ll take that
Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
I'm glad you're not the GM.
And you're forgetting about Ayton's no-trade clause...why would he want to go to another team to play behind Kyrie and Luka?

His no trade clause is only for 1 year. He won’t have it this summer.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
Green, Kleber, and THJ are all nice rotation players. I feel we will struggle to find rotation players with our salary restraints. We’ll see what Ayton gives us this postseason, but right now we’re paying him too much for what we’re getting. He needs to be a bigger part of the offense to warrant his pay and that just doesn’t seem likely with Booker and KD here.
There’s also the 10th pick which would be nice. Not sure we’re gonna get much for Ayton if we trade him.

Ayton doesn’t have a no-trade clause after this season.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
The only hesitation I have with dealing with Dallas is that they need Ayton, but they don't really have anything we need; they have useful pieces for us, but nothing that I would classify as a need-filler.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 11:27 amGreen, Kleber, and THJ are all nice rotation players.

But I agree with Split: a lotto pick and solid depth pieces is not a bad package for Ayton at all. A Dallas deal wouldn't be my first choice, but it could work for me. The lotto pick and Josh Green would be non-negotiable items for me, but after that, the Suns might have to take on Bertans and/or McGee.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
Ya, I don’t love the Dallas deal either…but it is the formula I’m intrigued by. 2-3 wings/shooters and a pick or decent prospect would do. I’d also listen to a lesser center plus wing player type deal. Mostly we just need to get multiple pieces for him if we move him.INFORMER wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 11:47 amThe only hesitation I have with dealing with Dallas is that they need Ayton, but they don't really have anything we need; they have useful pieces for us, but nothing that I would classify as a need-filler.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 11:27 amGreen, Kleber, and THJ are all nice rotation players.

1 year = July 14. The draft is June 22.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
Ah, got it. Well it’s (hopefully) all going to be a moot point after the playoffs anyway—I can’t see either Jones or Ishbia trading a key piece of a championship team, or even a Finals team.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 2:53 pmAh…I wasn’t suggesting trading him on draft night. Just including whoever they pick.

Re: 2023 General Offseason/PostSeason League News
Honestly, I don't think it matters. I don't think Ayton will block a trade that the team can make without his consent 22 days later.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 2:53 pmAh…I wasn’t suggesting trading him on draft night. Just including whoever they pick.
