Are we really debating if dumping Warren would be hard? Dumping, as in trading him for nothing but an expiring/cap space? Man he is under a great contract and most teams would jump at the chance to take him in a dump. Knight is the absolute opposite.

Warren is a productive player on a good contract. Why exactly would we want to trade him? So we can overpay mediocre free agents again?

Yeah, I'm a fan of TJ. We need to find additional talent to surround he and Booker.

The Suns have a lot of really bad contracts.

Knight, Chandler, and Dudley are all very hard to trade. Indeed, 41% of our cap space is spent on players who could be replaced by a random league minimum stiff.

In the case of Knight, he could be replaced by an actual cadaver without noticing a difference.

TJ could be a #3 guy on a championship team. I think he either needs to improve his D or get a reliable 3 from the corner, but other than that, he is right there.

I never did like spending 30 million for Dudley when we were hoping he wouldn't play. Like, couldn't we have gotten him for 15 million? Who did we outbid for him?

I love TJ's scoring, and I really hope there are GMs out there who see him like you do. I would try to package him for a star this summer.

No way man. He is a 1 trick pony. You can’t have that as your third best guy.

For all we know, he has been. When was the last time he was seen alive?

During he Cold War, this was known as the Andropov Syndrome; wherein someone who contracts this disease disappears for 6 months, and then they bury him (or her).

It's been at least 7 months since anyone saw Knight, I think.

TJ would be a great FA signing if he wasn't ours. So let's not trade him, unless it gets us a superstar player.
