Or just fucking trade him wherever, who cares what he wants?
Well there's that too. But in any case we shouldn't take a crappy deal just for the sake of trading him.I don't think we HAVE to trade him.

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I keep seeing "price threshold" and "Suns need to lower their demands". I agree on the former and disagree on the latter. If the Suns can't get a good deal without taking on unusable, untradable players with albatross contracts they should just keep Durant, don't extend him and let his salary drop ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

Accommodate him if you can but take care of the team first. Seems reasonable. It sounds like it is going to happen and is likely imminent. The question is once a trade happens do we discuss here or start a new thread?

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

Agreed. I wonder what sort of C a guy like Vassell could bring back? He's around 25m per, gotta be something decent around that price Jusuf Nurkic makes $19M. :P I am sure TOO was a huge fan of Nurk and Richards. Its almost funny how we were used to mediocre to bad centers, finally draft one good ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I don't hate KAT (maybe would have been a better trade for Ayton than Nurk was, for example). But I don't think it is possible to build a playoff-caliber defense around Booker and KAT. I think teams would just put those two in pick-and-rolls and score on us at will. IMO KAT would be more effective ...

Re: 2025 Suns Offeason News

Those are the kinds of moves we made in the late 90s/early 00s and 2010s. Band-aid type of moves that leave you in purgatory as a 35-45 win team that's not bad enough to lose and not good enough to win. I actually like it. Yes it is a band-aid but considering what we have to work with at least it ...

Re: 2025 NBA Playoffs

Very true. He could have been a focal point of our defense. I shutter to think how much difference he could have made for us. It's hard for me to look at that trade through an objective lens. He had flashes of ISO but just didn’t pan. He's getting good exposure playing in Portland. I bet if he went ...

Re: The Kevin Durant Problem

I'm actually ok with that. I almost think standing pat and tweaking the roll players "might" work with a decent coach. Of course the biggest needs would be quality PG, center and PF as unlikely as all those may be.

Re: The Josh Bartlestein Problem

Just for reference:
Academic Sexual Misconduct Database - Incidents at Michigan State University - Total: 44

I went through that database and found that most colleges listed only had 1-5 incidents. There were only a handful that had 15-20. Only two had 20 and that was the closest to MSU's 44.

I'm starting to wonder if it is a thing tied to MSU culture. Between this and the Larry Nassar and football coach Mel Tucker scandals among others. Maybe that is the determination and grit Ishbia was talking about. Edit: My mistake. I assumed Bartlestein went to MSU also. He actually went to ...
