I know most on here aren’t interested in trading Booker, but it will be interesting to see if/when Green returns. If Green can score in bunches, does that make Booker expendable? That will definitely jump start the retooling of this team, especially if we can grab a bunch of picks. Just a thought.

THIS IS THE WAY

CG/Green can be our starting backcourt of the future. We can trade Booker to replenish our assets and get another young rising player in return (Eason or Jabari, Sheppard, and picks) and continue to remain conpeitive.

They'll never do it, but the answer is right there.

Extremely satisfying game to watch.

Guys, how tall is Ryan Dunn? He's listed at 6'7, but I swear he looks 6'9.

Goodwin went from a poor shooter to a streaky shooter. HAs he improved to be a decent shooter now? Over the last 12 games, he's averaging .391 from 3 on a good number of attempts. He's made 2 or more 3s every game except against Denver. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but 12 games feels like more than just a nice streak.

Bouyea surprises me more every game. Great head on his shoulders. When he gets into traffic, he keeps his cool and makes a good play.

I wasn't gonna watch the Luka interview because I expected him to be dismissive or not really answer certain questions

Reason for your 9 TOs ?

"They run a different scheme to every one else and it was confusing..."
Was surprised he gave credit

Amazing how much better we played without Booker. How sustainable that is, we will surely see as I expect him to miss a couple of weeks at least. Brooks has blown my mind and CG is the real deal.

Teams have been double and triple teaming Booker and I think that is how they plan to play the Suns. It is possible that when Booker went out that they didn't have much of a game plan after that. But if Booker is out for a while they will start focusing on the others.

I feel like many folks have been making excuses for Booker. He's averaging a career high in turnovers and is shooting terribly for an extended stretch. If they are triple teaming him and he can't handle it, give it up sooner. Other teams superstar players that are double and triple teamed figure it out. I'm hoping he comes back from his groin injury and figures this shit out because it isn't just a game or two and we've been winning despite him making us worse when he's out there instead of winning because of him.

Yea, it''ll never happen but would be smart in possibly retooling their cap situation, adding some draft capital and youth which we've proven to be able to work with. Especially since we have CG, Green and ALLEN... Books expendable.

You trade brooks not Booker. Brooks is older and expiring contract next season, get what you can imo. Hes been great but he’s exactly what a lot of teams need. I’m okay with just keeping him tho lol, kinda just want to see how this team finishes the year.

Brooks has turned this team around and this is the 2nd or 3rd time in this thread that people have suggested trading him. He's by far the biggest reason our culture has changed and we aren't Charmin soft anymore. He's exactly what a lot of teams need? He's what we needed. Seriously, trade Brooks? Is it because folks didn't like when he was on the other team and still can't wash the taste out of their mouths? We're playing great. No need to trade anyone at the moment.

Exactly! If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!

We're playing our best basketball in over 2 years and people want to trade our two best players for picks. Let's go all the way then and trade Grayson and Royce for more picks because their value will never be higher. Then we can build around CG (assuming he stays), Green and Williams with like 6 or 7 picks over the next 3-4 years and maybe by 2028 or 2029 we'll be rounding into form. I like it, I'm all for this plan. An even better plan might be re-signing CG and Mark Williams this offseason and then trading them next year for more picks. SO MANY PICKS!!!!!!!!!!

I need the karma bro, like my post..

Don't try to trade anyone.

Listen to the offers if/as they come, and make the other team pay through their nose if they want the player enough. I hope Ishbia has at least learned that tactic.

Exactly

Lots of trade talk today…I agree with FF to stand pat unless someone blows us away. I’m not gonna go out looking for anything.

DONE lol

Great win by the Suns. Great way to stay focused even after Devin Booker left due to a groin injury. I didn't know Dillon Brooks had this type of offensive repertoire and Collin Gillespie's shooting was on point. Great win.

Dillon can be a bit frustrating offensively because he can be a black hole and it gets worse when he's hitting shots

I'm struggling to watch it, honestly. I mean, the shot-making is amazing, but I can't remember ever watching this level of ballhoggery before. As soon as he dribbles once inside the 3-point line, you just know it's going up, no matter how terrible the shot, no matter how open his teammates are. The whole thing is a "no, no, no, yes!" adventure. Tip your cap to the dude, for now, but I hope he's not too rigid to change it up a bit when the shot isn't falling.
