4 unprotected firsts is no joke.
Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Mikal seemed like he had no clue last night. What makes it so painful is that he wanted to stay a Sun so badly.
Did they at least tell him at some point before it happened? I hope?
I have to wonder if James just couldn’t pull the trigger on it and that’s why it didn’t happen in the summer. Until Mat put the proverbial gun to his head lol.

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
I believe Ishbia will be the type to buy picks if they see a guy they want.
Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
I would liked to snag O’Neale back in the trade…we need a 5th starter still…let’s see what we do there. Don’t want to start Craig in the playoffs.

I really thought we'd see one more (failed) run with the same core.SunsSince92 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 11:55 pmHaha, I'm exactly the same. I've been waiting for something to happen and had a hunch we'd get KD in the end, but giving up Bridges is a gut punch.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 11:33 pmI can't remember the last time I was simultaneously ecstatic and depressed about a Suns deal.
Hopefully we'll address our defensive shortcomings in a deal for Crowder, otherwise this feels like too big of a gamble.

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Jeremy it’s on you now! You need to tighten up your homer vibes for Ayton. We’re all extra pulling for him. Your comments critical of Ayton will be well received seen as he knows your his guy and he will listen to your words.

We have two roster spots open so we can’t be done.

It's going to be an interesting starting lineup against the Hawks tonight without Book, Mikal, Cam and now KD!

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Maybe I'm just drinking the press conference kool-aid, but he very much seems like he wants the Suns to be the preeminent franchise in the league and will spare no expense in achieving that.

Hate to lose the twins.
Now move Dario and Landry for anunoby

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
Do we have any idea how long KD is out for though?

I hope Durant want to kick Kyrie's ass as much as we want to kick Dallas.

Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
But for real, thoughts on potential moves now? Anyways we can trade all of our 2nd for Kenrich Williams?? We need a point of attack defender now. I guess Okogie can be that guy, not gonna really need his offense anyways now lol.
Re: KEVIN DURANT TRADED TO SUNS
What free agents are still out there to fill those open roster spots?
