Suns 2022 Off-Season Thread
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
I think this is a recap of that info
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
That’s the first I’ve seen him say what the deal would be. It’s Mikal, CamJ, and 4 picks according to that. That’s all of our assets.

“KD does not want to play for a ‘better package’”… How could there be a better package?

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
My guess is they were referencing other teams that could send a “better package”, but KD doesn’t want to play there.
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Crowder’s going to be thrown in as an “expiring”? Give them Dario instead. Crowder’s too important to what we do.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Ya, I don’t think we should give up all 3 of Mikal, Cam, and Crowder. Need to hold onto at least 1 of them.
I can live with a weak bench, but we need to keep a good 5th starter.

According to the Trade Machine, Bridges/Johnson/Saric is enough. And Saric is cheaper than Crowder, so it saves the Nets money.

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
I don't know about you all, but the longer this drags on, this less I want to include Mikal in any deal.
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
"Bridges available because DA was resigned"
That sounds like Jones did not want to lose both DA and Bridges. So keeping DA actually gives us a better chance at getting KD, unlike what the national media says (and what everyone on here was saying previously...

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
They have been saying all along they didn't want DA, so how would it be a better chance once we signed him? Mikal's value around the league is higher than DA.
Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
Because now Jones may be willing to give up Bridges. He didn't want to lose both Ayton and Bridges.

The summary of what Flex said had this:

Re: Suns Off-Season Thread
It says the KD deal is not impacted by the DA signing. That would mean DA wasn't part of the deal anyway.
