    I'm a John Collins fan and would entertain this trade. Feels like a win for all sides.

    He should be at home like Jae Crowder waiting to be traded. He is helping the Rockets win at the worst possible time.

    Gordon should be trying to find his way to an actual contender. Suns' window is looking closed, at this point.

    Agreed. Suns need more than Gordon at this point

    Suns look like they could use a head honcho to carry CP3's torch. I got just the guy.

    The thing to remember is that he is a legitimate defender on the wing. Good spot shooter with range who can drive and finish and create his own shot.
    May have limited miles remaining, probably 2-3 seasons left - what more would a contender want?

    How about Gordon+MIL first for Crowder and Phoenix 1st. Moves us up and allows us to deal Crowder for a high 2nd rounder maybe?

    pass crowder onto the Knicks or some other team in the hunt for a couple 2nds and expirings.

    but how much better will the Sun’s first be? I’d want like a 2024 or 2025 suns 1st

    Does anyone remember this being mentioned at the time? What would this trade have looked like?

    It is a small miracle he has this kind of stamina.

    But his limitations are that he can only shoot well for one third of a season and if not worse than that.

    Eric just walked in to my business lol. Really really cool dude, I asked him about the trade and what not and he said man I don’t know but we’ll find out Thursday and said” but I’ll be here in the summer” ( meaning might get traded ). He’s building his house here. Of course took a picture with him but don’t know how to post it. This the third time he showed up to my business in the past couple of months.
