Are we willing to give Mikal $40/year on an extension? He's dipped a lot since leaving Phx IMO, or maybe he's just been exposed a bit being asked to take on more offensive responsibility. Either way, that's a lot of money for a 3rd/4th option.

And while we'd be getting KAT and Mikal, it would hurt to see Dunn go. I think he's exactly the kind of wing you need in the NBA these days.

I don't want Bridges personally, he's not worth the money. Id rather keep Dunn.
Love, Hurts.

I would love to have Bridges back. But I don't see how we could swing a Bridges / KAT trade for KD. Towns already makes $49m to KD's $51m, and as a 2nd apron team we cannot bundle multiple players into one trade, so I don't think we could package all that together.

Id take KAT, but that doesn't solve the rumored draft picks the Suns want to recoup.
You can always trade KAT for draft picks later.

I think he’s worth a lot more than 40 dollars per year. :P

Sure, but I don't think he'd have a very robust market, something about lazy bigs really doesn't rub a lot of teams the right way. So I'm not sure what he'd garner in return.
Love, Hurts.

Requires someone taking Beal and I just don’t see that

I would also rather keep Dunn than Mikal, especially when considering money, but Dunn needs to be a better shooter to be exactly the kind of wing you need. He did make steps in that space down the stretch of the season so he could get there. And I hope he does with the Suns.

Not that it means anything, but The Ringer has published its NBA Top 100 Players list. They rank Durant at #14, Booker at #19, Beal at #100 (lol).

The time to trade Durant is obviously now while he still have multiple suitors, and a lot of value. They can always hold off on Booker and trade him later if they choose to.

Beal? Ungh.

Am I the only one that would rather have Cam Johnson back than Mikal Bridges at their respective expected dollar values?

I was thinking about that. He'd have to be the 3 tho, not a 4 fulltime.

They just want to draft Jase Richardson at all cost. Ridiculous

At least Jase doesn’t seem a bad prospect. If he was 6”4 or 6’5 he’s probably a top ten pick but the dude is tiny. I think the combine said he was 5’8” :shock:

I was just joking but the combine actually said he’s 6’1 in shoes. So that means he’s probably 5’7” or something
