Over the last 10 games, Kelly Oubre Jr. is averaging 20.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 40.3% on 3s.

Oubre is really starting to blossom into a key long-term piece for this Suns team. Always providing that much-needed energy boost on both ends.

In 33 minutes, the 5-man lineup of Ricky Rubio, Devin Booker, Kelly Oubre, Mikal Bridges, and Deandre Ayton is outscoring opponents by 39.1 points per 100 possessions (130.3 OffRtg, 91.1 DefRtg).

Very promising sign that Oubre and Bridges can function well within that unit.

Philly gets: Ricky Rubio, Dario Saric, Aron Baynes, Mikal Bridges
Suns get: Al Horford, Zhaire Smith, Jonah Bolden, Trey Burke, and 2 2nd round picks

Is Horford available? He’s on the other side of 30 and makes a lot of bank but I’d definitely swap TyJo for him if Philly is looking to get off his contract. I know he recently made some comments about being unhappy with the way he’s being used in their system. He’d be an interesting pickup. Not sure I’d want to swap Rubio and Burke though. I think Rubio’s problem is he’s worn out. We should be resting him more.

INF hates my beloved Rubae so much. I'm trying to work through it so he and I can still be friends. But it's tough.

I don't hate him, Mori. He is just a poor allocation of resources. It doesn't make any sense to invest $16 million a year in a point guard that can't shoot and at best is mediocre defensively.

Agree to disagree. I think it's fine and lovely to pay that amount for one of the best passing PGs in the NBA. And I think his defense is actually pretty decent. In terms of his salary and the cap, we would still have plenty of space if we want to sign anybody this off-season or make a trade.
