Charlotte ultimately. The Suns first traded the rights to a pick swap of their 2026 1st rounder to Washington. Then the Suns traded rights to a 2026 1st round pick swap to Orlando. So that meant that Washington would first have the right to swap picks with Phoenix. Whatever pick Phoenix would have ...

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. I’m not really interested in losing him for nothing either. For me, I don't want to waste another y ...

The key would be flipping Norman Powell to a third team. Atlanta, Memphis, and Houston could all be solid candidates.

I didn't think they would, but when I heard they were pursuing him, I thought they couldn't put a deal together without including him. But I just looked at the numbers again, and they do have other contracts they can use.

ATL/LAC/PHX trade:

Atlanta receives:

Norman Powell

LAC:

Kevin Durant

PHX receives:

Ivica Zubac (starting center!)
Terrence Mann (grit and grime!!)
Kobe Bufkin
Derrick Jones
ATL #13
LAC #30
LAC 2031 1st round pick
($6 million off the cap)

Am I missing something here? Why aren't we calling Memphis to offer them KD? They have our 2026 1st which would be of great value to get back. Something like KD for JJJ, KCP or whoever else as salary ballast, and 2026 1st?

I think Wiggins/Ware/Robinson/20 is fair. It’s nothing special…I’d push for a 2nd pick or Jovic, but it’s better than what Houston/SA are offering. I think you're lowering the bar too low. If we're dealing with Miami the package should be: Andrew Wiggins Kyle Anderson Nikola Jovic Kel'el Ware Pelle ...

I’d rather just run it back with KD than to take a bs trade. Just get off 54 million completely or sign and trade him in the offseason then to take bottom of the barrel offers. Probably in the minority but just how I feel. Trade Grayson for size and run it back again. I’d much rather do that than to ...

The Suns need to get over next season; they've dug themselves that no single trade is going to undo it. I knew this grit and grime garbage was going to be another hinderance in this team making good decisions. Get Ware because he is a talented, young big on a rookie deal; this "soft" foolishness is ...

It's the Blabby Nash years all over again.

In terms of the Raptors, it blows all of these other deals out of the water. And I would take RJ over Quickley; Quickley is talented, but his contract is gross. RJ is productive and is on a reasonable deal. You could easily flip him if he isn't in the long-term plan. Alas, I doubt Durant would go ...

One complication that I haven't seen mentioned is that a first apron team can't take back more salary then they are sending out. So if Houston doesn't decline FVV's team option, I don't see how they can be an eligible trade partner with the Adams, Green, and Sengun's extensions kicking in.

Minnesota is reportedly offering Gobert, Conley and DiVincenzo (along with picks) which isn't exactly a youth movement. There are hoops they'd have to jump through to include Randle in the deal. Yeah, with all Randle talk, you have to remember he still hasn't exercised his player option, so ...

This front office gives me Blabby vibes.

Garland.

Brauns a stud. Hes the type of man player we need. Ya im starting to be more ok with a KD to Denver trade. MPJ/Braun and whatever else you can get. I think MPJ could probably be rerouted to another team like Chicago and Sacramento, but yeah, I think Denver is a likely trade partner. I think the ...

His season was wiped out due to injury. Has talent though. I thought he was going to transfer and stay in school.

Any thoughts on Carter Bryant? He seems to have a smooth shot, some athleticism, and good court awareness. I wonder why he's in the draft, though, since he didn't really prove himself as a freshman. I would love to get a lottery pick to draft him. He is a boom or bust guy though, but we actually ...
