Oh God, we're going to trade Ayton for an S&T'd Kyrie, aren't we?...
I believe so, yes.

Not gonna lie…it’s kinda intriguing. There’s a pathway where we trade for Kyrie and then can use the full MLE and BAE to fill out the roster. But then I remember that Kyrie has been a huge problem everywhere he’s been and it scares me

What becomes of CP? And would KD want to get back into bed with Kyrie? I'd pass. We'd be going full darkside same as the Nets turning a young, exciting team with guys we drafted and developed into a top heavy short-term superstar driven team with potential headaches.

Also wouldn't there be restrictions with 3 max players on the roster? Or maybe can't trade for 2 max contracts?

I'm not at all interested in Kyrie Irving, but Chris Paul can kick rocks.

Thanks for all that you did Point God, but it's just not a good fit from a cap or roster perspective going forward.

The further the Warriors advance, the less likely he is to end up on the Suns next season, IMO. I think there would've been a pretty decent shot at it happening if they lost to the Kings.

If we're going megasuperstar Big 3 then Dame is the play. I demand it.

Dame probably makes too much money and the Suns don't have the assets to make a trade to get him.

You’d have to cut Paul to acquire Kyrie in a S&T…and they removed any of the max player restrictions with the new cba.

Kyrie? What does Warriors winning have to do with Kyrie?

Sorry. I meant Draymond but forgot to actually write his name. :lol:

James Jones tried to trade for him once, I really hope we don’t try and bring him in.

Yeah, we don't need any cancers on this team.

It’s hard to feel bad for Dillon Brooks, but the Grizzlies are putting that to the test. I’m not sure there’s a bigger bus on the planet they could’ve thrown him under. IIRC, he wasn’t the guy getting into legal trouble for the past year.

I just assumed it was for his play on the court, did the article say otherwise? It would be a pretty bad look if they said his behavior was the reason considering Ja’s behavior.

That’s not what I mean.

The paint isn’t even dry on their elimination and they’re putting out this info. Why? He’s an MLE level fringe starter and I don’t think any other team would take this approach.

It comes across like they’re scapegoating him for a disappointing playoff appearance. However, I suppose Brooks’ trolling media appeal is playing a role in the over publicity.

He's a distraction, the fans hate him, they are just letting them know its OK he won't be back.

Maybe he and Crowder could get on the same team.

Absolutely. Like when we deal Ayton this offseason.
