    Never been a big KD fan, and now he’s 37. Take #10 & Cam or get bent. Even that may be too much. No way I’d include Jalen/Jabari & more - not big on either of them either… but damn, they are 15 years younger!

    The Fertitta’s like JG. He’s not going to be included. My bet it’s gonna be FVV, Brooks, #10, (maybe Cam) future picks, and expiring contracts like Jock, Aaron, Tate etc…. Stone is gonna try to turn FVV and Brooks into KD.

    If that happens you need Reed and Cam to grow up fast...

    As bs as this sounds Ive been saying I could see the Ferittas & Stone wanting to move forward with the kids and Ime is wanting to package them for KD and that’s why the “vision” isn’t the same

    Going from Fred to KD is the proper way to go from phase 2 to phase 3

    are you really scared of KD on the spurs? Dude might play 40 games. Who knows how many Wemby can play. Let them waste their future on a 37 year old KD. Helps us in the long run.

    Give them #10 and their 2027 FRP back. Keep 2029….. oh and throw in FVV and fillers.

    Yep, the Suns would only be hurting themselves if that were the case.

    Having the Suns picks trumps any offer that any other team can put together, and its frankly not even close. A mid offer from us including those picks is still far better than any offer they will get. We should be totally content playing the waiting game.

    Problem is they won’t waste their future. They already said what players and what picks they aren’t trading. If they get KD it will be for peanuts like they got Fox.

    I think they are both closer than given credit. Their defense is the weakest part of both their skill sets but how they mainly were judged. Them growing up should not be a huge concern. With their different playing styles the Rockets will have a different approach to success maybe even balancing the team’s needs.

    Just saw on X that Houston, Charlotte, and Phoenix have discussed 3 team trade regarding KD, Dillion Brooks, Miles Bridges, Mark Williams and draft picks….
