Wouldn't go that far ......6.9 apg is still different than 3.1 apg...... and 1.1 steals better than 0.8 steals. However, hell yeah, I am also massively disappointed in this year's Booker. You could have said that Jalen's production contributed more to winning because this year it is true either way.....and Booker's production often resulted in tough losses.
With respect, you might want to do the research on that pick a little more carefully. After the swap with the Wizards is resolved, then whichever pick PHX is left with, ORL has the right to swap with (ie the worse of the 2 PHX and WAS picks). AFTER the ORL swap is resolved, MEM has the right to swap with whatever pick PHX is left with. So PHX get the worst 2026 pick out of WASH, MEM, ORL and PHX. That looks to be a crap pick. All their pick swaps are versions of that garbage.
Whoops! you are correct, my bad. Here's the description i found: Basically, they are completely screwed Least favorable of PHX, ORL, WAS 1-8 and MEM; and more favorable of PHX and WAS 1-8 to WAS [or neither to WAS if WAS not conveyable]; and more favorable of (i) ORL and (ii) less favorable of PHX and WAS 1-8 [or (ii) PHX only if WAS not conveyable] to ORL; and more favorable of (i) MEM and (ii) least / less favorable of PHX, ORL and WAS 1-8 to MEM if WAS does not convey 1st round pick to NYK in 2025; or Least favorable of PHX, ORL, WAS and MEM; and more favorable of PHX and WAS to WAS; and more favorable of (i) ORL and (ii) less favorable of PHX and WAS to ORL; and more favorable of (i) MEM and (ii) least favorable of PHX, ORL and WAS to MEM if WAS conveys 1st round pick to NYK in 2025 (via WAS swap for PHX; via ORL swap for PHX or WAS; via MEM swap for PHX, WAS or ORL)
Yeah - sux for them! I got it wrong above too - I said they couldn't tank until 2031. I meant 2032!!! I forgot they gave Utah their pick in 2031... yikes. Rough path for them to travel
You're not a new owner if you don't destroy the team you just bought with asinine move after asinine move
That doesn't really solve the Sun's long term issues. Washington owns the rights to the Suns picks every other year - unprotected thru 2031.. The Rockets would be giving up what appears to be multiple lottery picks for less desirable picks. Washington comes out smelling like a rose PHX still can't tank next season.
Again, look at how they lost. They outrebounded Minny by 21!. The shot better than Minny. How did Minny take 12 more shots? Suns had 12 more TOs and played no D. Minny hit 8 more 3s. Durant, Booker, Beal took 50 of their 80 shots for 46%. If you let Minny hoist up 52 uncontested 3s you get what you f**kin deserve.
They haven't beaten an above .500 team since January. For the rest of the season they only have three games against teams below .500. Yeah, they're probably losing most of their games.
These Suns remind me of a less talented, worse version of our 15-16 team. Nobody cares, everyone’s checked out, and they’re no fun to watch. The only difference is we fired Mchale 6 games into the season and Bud still has a job
Next games arent good either, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavs and Grizzlies. Sagg for Flagg!!! If the Suns can get 9th place their odds to get a top 4 pick jump dramatically to 20%. If we get a top 4 pick trading that and other pieces for KD or Booker would be just dumb AF.
If the pick was lucky enough to slot into the top 4 I would probably prefer to keep it. If they wanted to trade it to the suns though that doesn’t mean you have to take back Durant and/or Booker. They could go to different teams and the Rockets would receive another player(s). For example top 4 pick, rest of Suns picks and swaps, Nets Swap and Mavs 2029 pick rockets picks and Jalen green and Sengun and FVV. Durant and Booker out For Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid, and Giannas Amen Thompson Anthony Edwards Tari Eason Giannas A Jabari Smith Jr Naz Reid Cam Whitmore Reed Sheppard Easy Peasy
We cant afford that team lol. Thats a 2nd apron team easy. This 2nd apron should be abolished it just gives owners an excuse not to spend and shuts down even fantasy scenarios. But honestly I think we should just keep the pick we need more stars and a deeper bench.
Jabari that is going to be a top 10 PF in the NBA for the next decade is trash and will retire a multi millionaire. Sure homie.
