    Hot air. I am sure Phoenix has plenty of it. This is why it is a spite trade.
    The way Butler goes anyway they will get trash back.

    It's going to take some warriors to beat the you-know-whos in the WCF this year.

    What assets does Phoenix have?
    None of those guys have he combination of defense/shooting that Tucker provides, Nic Batum...injury prone and not a good defender, Kidd-Gilchirst....cannot shoot worth a damn. Marvin Williams, cannot play center. Nah I'm not with that.

    I just named you three guys that can replace Tucker. James Ennis just proves how easy it is to replace role players like ariza, mbah moute, or tucker.

    none of them are remotely close to what PJ Tucker is for this team.

    James Ennis has proven nothing, especially when he has nothing to do with PJ

    Lets look at what they have, sans Booker and Ayton I guess.

    Yea.....I took a look....it literally might just be Josh Jackson.

    I don't think you're fully grasping the concept of a spite trade.

    So let me get this straight: Butler shows up to his first practice this year, grabs the third stringers and challenges the starters to a scrimmage. He then BEATS THEM and shouts "YOU BLEEPING NEED ME! YOU CAN'T WIN WITH OUT ME!" to Thibs and Scott Layden?

    That's the most bad ass thing I've ever heard. Can we trade for this guy, please?

    The problem isn't assets.
    The problem is if the owner is reckless enough to invite a ticking bomb in the lockeroom on his own initiative.
    Out of all the owners Phoenix's may be the only one. Not even Sacramento.

    Again, as a primary scorer on less efficient shooting. EG is the spark on offense on the second unit. Ultimately this move hurts the bench scoring, which helped us stay in games against the warriors.

    I get it, but no one is brain dead r****ded enough to do so without getting anything back and Phoneix has nothing.

    Just imagine what Jimmy B could do if he took a team w/ Capela, Harden, CP3, & Melo to battle?

    Actually a lot of people did think we gave too much at first. When we got Harden people thought we gave too much for Harden. It was probably 60/40 or so. When we traded for Cp3 people did said we have too much even media said so, because we gave Lou, Pat Harrell and Dekker. And when we traded Melton and Ryan people complained about us giving Melton. That it was a bad trade and we should have kept Melton

    I think You should check clutchfans more often.

    Right? If I'm a T-Wolves fan, I'm screaming for them to trade the other 4 starters for 4 guys with balls.

    No people did not say hou gave too much for cp3. The question was fit more than anything else. Just bc you have a few dummies that say they did doesn't mean the majority did

    Maybe you should check cf's more often. people and their fake news/exaggerated/dramatic takes

    For Gordon straight up? Sure. PJ is vital to our system though.
