When I read that I was like that's it? WTF? But Washington is sending their 2017 first round pick also

Cross Washington off the list as potential Tucker destinations

Suns are like the only team that's hardly mentioned in any trade talks.

I wonder if McD's on an actually vacation and just left his assistant GMs to answer calls for him but to not actually do any deals.

So many moves need to be done and the Suns have yet to do a damn thing.

I would like McD to do something, but I don't want to see a bad deal for the Suns. It's not like last year when they HAD to trade Morris. If no one wants Knight, we can't take a bad deal like having to give up a pick to get rid of him as the Suns did in the past with Kurt Thomas. Hopefully, he can rebuild his value, since it can't get any lower.

Shame. If we kept populating Washington with ex-Suns I was hoping we could then proceed to annex Bradley Beal and John Wall without anyone noticing. Oh well. Guess we will have to move on to plan B.

THIS!!

There is no such thing as an untradeable player. Around the league, we have seen worst contracts, worse players and worse personalities changing teams when the situation arised, and many without long term ramifications for the outgoing team. The Suns, inths other hand, has made some of the more short sighted, panic induced, asset dumping trades in order to get rid of a bad situation. Standing pat is no the worse we could do.

So I want for a change, that if there is no market for Knight, to keep him on board until the summer. If teams are colectively bullying McD in order to rape him, keep Knight. If McD is delusional about what he is looking for, well, we have the rest of the season for reality to sunk, and as painful as it is to watch him on the court, this is the perfect year to wait out for a better ocasion to make a deal.

From what I can find, he's not had any surgery. Just having pain in the knee. MRI's have not shown any structural damage. Bone contusion was all I saw mentioned.

Wait, did we manage to destroy all the footage of Knight playing this year? Is that our strategy? That's actually fucking genius.

Suns are gonna trade for Okafor without trading Chandler/Len first?

Chicago is reportedly keen on Okafor as well

I'm sure there is at least a protected 1st as part of that trade going to Philly.

Suns aren't gonna do jack ****.

This is what McDonough has been doing to Suns fans since getting hired

YAAASSSSSS GIMME OKAFOR YAAAAAASSSSSSSS FOR BRANDON KNIGHT YAAAAAAAASSSSSASSSSSS!!!!!!!!

He can't play defense. I'll take him for knight, but I don't want to give any picks up for him and that's what it would take.

Pistons fielding offers on Drummond and KCP....Van gundy has really put them in no mans land.

Might be best to just trade tucker and wait until the off-season. Making a move just to make it is never good.

I will say this, usually McDonaugh's moves are not rumoed by the media. The Knight trade came out of absolute nowhere as did the Bledsoe move, so I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

If 7 or 8 teams are in on tucker as Gambo reports, seems likely we get a low 1st for him. If he's dealt for a 2nd or a filler no way "7 or 8" teams were in on him.

The two guys I think are most likely to be dealt are Tucker and Alex LEN IMO. I think it's clear Len isn't in our plans and tucker can really help a contender.

There aint no fucking way we are getting Okafor for Knight. No one is that stupid.

I have a hard time believing we can get anything other than some trash 2nd round picks for Knight.

DO IT!

Hmm... 1 more day, hopefully I can wake up to some good news.
