We're not getting back 2 FRPs from anyone.
Then you keep him until the deadline and hope a team gets desperate by then. Two FRPs should be the minimum we will accept.

Sounds about right with the way he was trying to sell the Minnesota players

Suns owe Kevin Durant nothing when searching for trade partner

We already did him a favor when we got him from Brooklyn. Let someone else be in the favor granting business, they're in a position where they need the best players available.

Wouldn’t say I love but I really like the Raps deal. Im not sure what Minny is offering that’s better, if everyone is offering us shit then I’d just take this one and I’d be perfectly happy. Guess I’m a dumbass tho. lol
I’d be absolutely ecstatic if we could get some Dick tho.

Gambo probably likes the Wolves offer more because it has an Italian coming to the Suns.
Gobert is better than Poeltl, but contract value.. not so sure about that. Quickley and Barrett are significantly better than anyone in that reported Wolves offer.
I'm not really interested in Dillingham at all. Undersized scoring guards are a dime a dozen.

Toronto deal is better because of #9…but apparently suns want to be good. That’s why they want Rudy. He makes us good next year almost by himself.
Honestly though…I take either of those deals. If Houston and San Antonio want to play games, just move on. Give them a deadline(let KD know too) and if they don’t up the offer, we move on.

I don't like the Minny deal. I do not like Gobert. He is almost a complete zero on offense. The other players are aren't enough and #17 is bleh. Not excited about Toronto's deal either. #9 is okay and I'm not a for sure no, but I'm close. I may just prefer to keep KD. Ott might make it work.

I really don’t think you can keep him…his value is just dropping.
Gobert does suck on offense and I wouldn’t be thrilled to get him by any means, but he is a top 5 defensive player in the league. He can make our defense good by himself. I’m also a divencenzo fan..I wanted to go after him before we got Beal. He’s Grayson with a little more defensive juice I think. You definitely gotta trade Grayson though.
I don’t know much about Dillingham. He’s tiny, but he’s highly skilled…just depends if he figures out how to make it work at his size. 17 is meh…this isn’t a great draft…but it’s something.

KD should packing his bags to Toronto. IQ is owed a lot but the talent is there and he could break out here next to Book. Poeltl is at least serviceable as a starter and good for 25mpg. Plus we get a #9 pick, which even in a not so great draft, has value here for us. If things cut the right way, this could be a decent roster.
The Minny deal is OK but I don't love Dillingham and DDV is just another 6-4 SG we don't need and have to move. I do like Rudy but he's not enough to carry the deal on his own.

If you take the Toronto package the “OR” needs to be IQ. You can’t have a potential starting lineup with Dunn, Poeltl and RJ. The spacing would be rough.
