It's absurd on every level. The Suns aren't trading CP3 for one. Seconds, definitely not for KJ and Gordon. Thirdly, Paul would rather retire to than come back here. Think it through dude
I think the proposal is insane from the other side. No doubt CP3 would be great here. There is nothing we can give right now that can even come close to the on court impact CP3 provides for the Suns. Both teams have to agree to a trade for it to happen.
Re KJ It might be an idea to sell high?? He has been one of my favourites since he got here. Love his attitude to attack and his insane athleticism. BUT - we are talking up his great 3 point shooting this season, and he is hitting 34%... Cash in on him and give the PT to Eason and see how he develops. I think he has a higher ceiling? EGO and Martin for Saric and Crowder (route Crowder to a 3rd team for another asset).
I’d prefer to hold onto him unless for a much bigger trade. I think he’s the potential to be a super role player at the best or more likely a sole role player.
Rafael Stone really needs to find a Young Point Guard that is on the bench on another team. Goran Dragic, Kyle Lowry type of find Really hoping Tyty can grow and help
ego and kj 2024 second rounder (provided it doesn't go to okc) for crowder, saric, 24 and 26 firsts from PHX.
I was all in to trade KMJ when he asked out. I just have a hard time with a guy that's a set shot 3 pt shooter in today's NBA. However, he's been a solid contributor this year and brings energy and excitement to the team when he's on the court. That's a nice young asset. Yes, I'd prefer to trade EGO and Tate, but if the right deal comes along, you have to look at it. I'd probably give EGO away for a couple of 2nds, but would want more for KMJ. Oh, and there are gems in the late 1st round. DEN has grabbed a couple in last two drafts.
At this point. Martin Jr shouldn't be on the trade block. It's time to run EG out of town, he should never play another minute as a Rocket. Those minutes should go to KJ & Tari.
