I said I would start tripping a lil if things went past the 5th lol
I'm tired of it all man smh, you guys debating each other (sometimes taking shots too) I will guess everyone kinda had enough
Oh well

Hearing someone like Avery is new



Plus @theIVpointplay who's cap space knowledge is good said he would only get concerned after July 8th.
I don't know why that is but hey I seeking out positive info 🤐🤦🏾‍♂️

As trustworthy as any twitter poster? And he is just aggregating Flex there.

I've just been seeing that twitter name (leezus) a lot regarding the Suns and was wondering who it is or if he's just a random Suns fan like us repeating what he's seen.

If he doesn’t have Ayton’s name tattooed on his face, he’s obviously not very trustworthy.

;) And has anybody here actually read/heard Flex say this? I don't recall seeing this so explicitly. I thought I read Phoenix, Boston, or the Heat as preferred destinations. Also, there has been a Flex imposter so I wonder if he possibly got this "info" from him.

Flex has said that, and flex's source is Book's brother. So he probably knows that kind of stuff. He would have no idea what the suns are doing in negotiations, though. I highly doubt they share minute by minute stuff with Book and he then texts his brother right away.

As for Leezus, I have never seen anything from him that would indicate he had insider info. He is a huge Book stan. tbf I muted him years ago so maybe things have changed.

I listened to Flex’s pod last night on a little night drive. He says that KD will only play for Suns or stay with Brooklyn next year. And by playing with Brooklyn, they meant inferred he would have a lot of “tight hamstrings” DNPs and such. At this point it seems we can take Flex at his word. He’s 99% sure KD will be in a Suns jersey but can’ lock in when.

-KD is trying to force the trade to Suns.
-Brooklyn is pressing every button at its disposal to manipulate the situation and get the best deal.
-other media reports are doing the bidding to drive KD’s price up.

What I worry about are all the factors that will screw shit up, such as waiting too long and somebody blinking.
But what gives me some assurance is that KD’s price will go down the longer they wait. And Brooklyn has amazing options right now.

The longer is drags out, the less the Suns and Nets both benefit. Suns lose out on being able to chase anyone in FA, the Nets lose value in a trade if they know KD wont play anywhere but Phoenix. I think it benefits both parties to get this done.
Love, Hurts.

I have heard it from several different people, but I am not sure if they are all getting it from the same place. I guess some internet sleuths have tracked it back to him a few times.

Hmmm interesting, Booker doesn't seem like the type to let info out like that.

Haynes is to the Suns what Woj is to the Nets. This helps the Suns.

I guess it depends on how secret the info is. I mean is it a big secret that KD wanted to come play with Book and CP3 and Monty? Sure it might have been that KD was going to ask for a trade, but I can see how that slips out after some time and poker and whatever.

I can't recall a single piece of national NBA media bring it up until today. To this point, everything has been about where KD could go or what 'Team X' should offer for him.

That was reported when this all came out. The very first report was that KD asked to be traded, and Phoenix was his preferred destination.

Right. What I'm saying is the media has spent almost zero time discussing why he wants to be in Phoenix. Everything I've seen and heard has kinda been "Phoenix is #1 on his list. Anyway, should New Orleans trade Zion for KD?"

Chris Haynes is a Klutch mouth piece that once showed up in my DMs on twitter because I said so. I don't trust that dude about anything, really.
Go Suns!
