    Ishbia/the Suns are insane with their trade demands.

    We have ALL the leverage.

    Let them sink, and collect or trade the spoils somewhere else.

    Stone shouldn't even take their call until next year's deadline when they're desperate to deal Booker to us.

    Seriously. Enough for now.

    No we shouldn't! Especially not in a new thread.

    No need to have your blood levels rise up for this.

    I mean, we do have a ton of leverage, but the Suns also have what we need, namely, a #1 scorer in Durant and Booker. So, stick with our reasonable trade offers for Durant, or a major trade offer for Booker. No need to tell them to eff off.

    Dude we literally don't know what their trade demands are.

    We just have PR mouthpiece speak from reporters and rando twitter accounts.

    If nothing happens by Draft Night, this will drag on until Trade Deadline.

    If this is in response to the Jabari, Tari and picks trade idea then i would have to say that was not a terrible trade. It would suck but still we are winning in that trade.

    The only way I’d give them all their picks back is if they’re giving us both KD and Booker. Obviously that’s not gonna happen so I trust Stone to make only the right move.

    Personally I think all these reports are smoke and mirrors being thrown out. Around the league teams know KD’s realistic value and I think things will iron out fairly reasonable.

    Just depends if a desperate team blinks first and does something ridiculous to overpay. Obviously that’s what the Suns want but so far not happening.

    Idk at the end of the day I trust Stone to make the right decision. We’re not constructed as is to win a chip, so adding KD would change that. But only if the price is right.

    Yeah at this point. My final offer would be Fred, Jock, and the #10 pick and if they don't accept then conversation over.

    I would argue the only way Jabari gets included in a trade for KD would be if he was being unrealistic in contract extension negotiations and the team thinks they'll lose him for nothing because his trade value alone won't bring much back.

    I don’t know the specifics of their trade demands. Rumors are just rumors.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if they started out asking for the moon. That’s usually how these things go.

    100% agree!!! I ain’t paying any 37 year old 61 million a year AND giving up Jalen, Jabrari, and 19 year old future star Derek Queen.

    Durant makes us contenders. We should say no such thing to these nice Phoenix people.

    Phoenix are in the F around phase.

    They're about to get into the Find out phase if they don't get their act together.

    That is hilarious…. lol


    Phoenix is asking for the moon, and if they miss they will end up amongst the stars…. There re so many desperate teams that they don’t consider where their franchises will be in 3 or more years.

    Eventually someone will meet Phoenix’s demands, or get very darn close, unfortunately.
