2025 NBA TRADE DEADLINE

[specialsauce]

How is the group of Grayson, Royce, Tyus fully intact after this deadline. It's unbelievable. Ok the Butler deal fell through and you were too chicken shit to trade the parasite without his approval , you couldn't do ANYTHING to improve the roster construction of this team?

Just because you say it over and over, doesn't make it true. Golden State is the team that wouldn't pull the trigger without KD's approval. Not the Suns.

Was it mentioned anywhere that Minnesota called about KD? What would that deal look like? I'm sure they're looking to dump Randle but is there a deal around Jayden McDaniels and is he good enough to build a package around?

[Cap]

Gambo basically said the deal was agreed to. They brought it to KD and be said no…warriors backed out at that point as they weren’t going to trade for a player who didn’t want to be there.

We have a $50M player who actually likes the idea of playing for a franchise to which he is intentionally bringing harm. Yeah, that’s better than to have than four picks and Mikal and Cam. Laugh it up on that bench KD, you win, you defeated all of us in a rout.

Except he doesn't realize that or maybe doesn't care. Come on, obviously it's not intentional.

Probably just leaked it to so Ant thinks they were trying. Minny was 15 million over the 2nd apron and doesn’t have a salary to match for KD. They’d have to dump a ton of salary to even make it possible.

Killing a trade that would have benefitted us is intentionally bringing harm, unless he thinks he knows better than the FO. He's telling all us fans, "You'd have been better off without me, but you're stuck with me, and I think that's hilarious." Fuck him.

KD might win back some fans with this one...

Quite the contrary. The fact that so much of his social media is devoted to insulting and demeaning others is one of the reasons I’m not a fan. And FLEX is an easy target, this insult isn’t exactly impressive.

Just remember from now on, every time you see him laughing on the bench, he’s laughing at us. He has made losers of all of us and that’s what makes him a winner. And the worse we’re losing, the more of a winner that makes him. That’s why we always see the most laughter when we’re getting blown out. “They’re paying me $50M for this shit, LMCAO!”

Here's a full breakdown of the Butler-Heat-Durant-Warriors talks

THERE IS NO good way to move a future Hall of Fame player who has professed a desire to stay with your franchise despite a second straight underachieving season. But there are definitely bad ways to go about it. Not telling that player or his agent, and having them find out through other sources would qualify as a bad process.

Internally, the Suns have already conceded that point. "We should've gone through [Durant's business partner, Rich Kleiman]," one team source told ESPN.

Instead, a frantic 48 hours ensued in which, as Charania reported, Durant had to send a final word he had no desire in a reunion with the Warriors and did not want to go back to the Bay Area. "Probably the same reasons he left," a Warriors' source conceded. "It would've been a f---ing circus."

Durant, however, would have been open to playing for the Heat, sources said, so Miami debated cutting the Warriors out completely and dealing Butler to Phoenix for Durant, sources said.

This is an crazy conclusion to come to

[INFORMER]

After the Luka fiasco, there's no way you trade Book anytime soon IMO.

I think it's two different situations. Book doesn't have the same stature leaguewide that Doncic has, the Suns didn't just come off of a finals appearance, and I don't think the fanbase is overly attached to anything Suns-related.

In general, the thought of trading Luka was even talked about. Whispers of a Booker trade have been around for at least a year, with speculation that New York or Houston would make a push for him.

Yeah fuck him

It dawned on me today that, if the Suns had traded KD last week, they'd have acquired him right after the Jazz-Wolves Gobert trade and moved him right after the Mavs-Lakers Luka trade. In at the peak, out in the valley as it relates to market value.

Yea that gobert trade really screwed us, but i blame the suns for caving. Just because the wolves were dumb doesn’t mean you have to be.

New owner syndrome. Blame Ishbia. Bought the team, immediately overruled his more tempered and sensible GM.
