Game Day: Suns (16-11) @ Rockets (8-18), Tues 12/13/22

[Split T]

Chris Paul trades, go:

Okay how about this?

Lakers: Chris Paul, Crowder, Vucevic

Bulls: Westbrook, Beverly, 2 1st from lakers, 1 1st and 2 2nds from Suns.

Suns: DeRozan, Ball.

Think I’d rather just take the Lakers 1sts and leave Chicago out of it.

Not sure if lakers would give up 2 1st for bum ass CP and no show Crowder. Would we even have cap space for next year for a salary dump like that? And if so, then how much?

Can’t wait to see avatar 2 on Thursday tho

It's going to be the elephant in the room until something happens one way or the other. I wonder how he'd look in a backup role to Payne.

They had a perfect opportunity to test it out when he came back from the injury. Too much point god worship.

[INFORMER]

Payne out too with a foot injury.

Sign Trey Burke.

[TOO]

Payne out too with a foot injury.

Sign Trey Burke.

Yes.

[INFORMER]

At least there's this

Best moment of the night, and one of the best sequences of the season so far.

The Suns are making a compelling case to not trade any 1st round picks.

When is Duane Washington Jr. going to be healthy? This is brutal.

They won't. They wouldn't trade any picks at all. And Paul isn't even playing better than Westbrook right now.

You’re right let’s trade our 14th pick next year for Landry Shamet type difference maker.

Time for a change! I said in the off-season the player to trade was CP3, too bad Monty and James have no cajones.

They won't. They wouldn't trade any picks at all. And Paul isn't even playing better than Westbrook right now.

I think we totally could get a 1st round pick from them. I think you underestimate how incompetent Rob Pelinka is. Ultimately tho, it does feel like any major moves are going to be saved for the offseason.

At this rate we’ll have to trade them 2 firsts to take CP3

I'd take Westbrook/2nd rounder for Paul/Shamet/Saric right now.

It’s fucked up that Shamet is worst contract there lol *sigh*

Bridges Last 5 Games - 34.8 Min, 29% FG%, 31% 3P%, 100% FT%, 3.6 Reb, 2.2 Ast, 14.6 Pts

[Superbone]

I can live with the bad shooting night be we were getting consistently outhustled for rebounds and second chance points.

Just got home and checked the box score…Mikal is 3/22? WTF is happening haha

This team is injured from playing with a depleted roster since almost day 1. The players who aren't hurt are gassed. And I don't know what CP is but it's not good.

Bridges is playing so tight because he's desperate to win and it's just all galling apart
