I think Brooklyn is still a playoff team going forward. They can dump Simmons to the spurs for a couple of the draft picks. Then they have a nice core and cap room to attract a superstar. Only hindrance would be their crap reputation at this point.

We're allowed to trade our 2024 pick this summer, right?

We still have 1rd pick swaps

…could trade Cam Payne and Craig for Clarkson for a 2nd and 1st round pick swap?

Probably better to just see if Eric Gordon gets bought out.

By the way, this was the absolute maximum 1st round compensation allowed. We couldn't give them more than 1 pick swap, because they don't have enough picks to swap with us.

Rank the all time suns players based on their career rankings:

1. KD
2. Shaq
3. Barkley
4. CP3
5. Nash
6. Kidd
7. Booker
8. Marion
9. Amare
10. KJ

How do Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway fit in? Am I missing anyone?

What we have left is actually the mid level exception. We could entice Gordon to take a lesser buyout.

No can’t trade it because we traded the 2025 pick

Ah that's right. Until we make the pick, then we can trade it. Well at least we have some picks to draft young players still. Lol.

I'll put it this way. If we don't win an NBA Championship with KD, then this was an overpay.
Is this satire?

To be clear, every big trade is an overpay if it doesn't result in a title.

Ya we’ll have a pick every other year. The swap was 2028, right? I saw someone say the nets were smart to push it out when CP3 and KD would be old and gone, but they literally can only swap the 2028 pick..

I am curious if we could have traded 24, 26, 28, 30…as then I think we could have added additional swaps

I don't think 2030 is available until the summer.

I didn’t think so but apparently Bobby Marks said it became available Jan 1st…he’s not always accurate though

He always gets stuff wrong which is hilarious given his past.
