    No, but not due to her age or what she looks like. She's been getting run through by half the NBA for decades.... that's just disgusting.

    She looks very good for her age so if she wasn't her, very different answer.

    FVV option, Nate Williams, the rest of the 1sts for Trae Young?

    Young - Amen - KD - Jabari - Alpe
    Holiday - Reed - Cam - Tari - Adams

    I wasn't necessarily talking about Alp but I would definitely be open to moving him. . Win now

    There's no way he could be moved for a better player at his position, so it would be a lose now and a lose in the future move.

    What did Bari shoot from the field and 3pt line vs Brooks? Also don't bring the excuse like Bari wasn't getting wide open shots either

    On position I somewhat agree but the league is somewhat positionless. .I'd like to see what we could get. If he's not going to learn to shoot it's a problem

    He's already a top 15 player in the league at 22. Moving him would be pretty insane. Anyone that would be worth trading him for would be a player that won't be traded.

    I guess the Rox and Durant did it. I wonder if it was as good as they thought it would be

    What does Bari have to do with brooks? I literally said in my post that KD is an upgrade to brooks. If you want numbers Bari was by far our best shooter in the playoffs from three as he was at almost 46%. After he came back from injury his shooting numbers were better than brooks.

    I'm not sure why a tweet from literally a year ago talking about the situation FROM A YEAR AGO is being used as a Gotcha moment right now. A year ago, the deal was never going to happen because KD only wanted Miami, or to stay in PHX. But that was a year ago, and things change.

    But to answer your question, Gambo is a PHX sports talk host, and is deeply connected with the Suns. He's been on top of the KD trade saga since its inception, and he was basically live reporting on what the purported offers from each team were as they were coming in. He's maintained that KD had no intention of playing in Minny despite them having by far the best offer, and that he was only going to sign an extension with Houston, SA, or Miami. I feel like his reporting on this deal has been spot on, and he hasn't really said anything out of pocket or wrong. In fact, he's consistently been saying that the return was going to be relatively meager because KD had a lot of leverage by being in the final year of his contract.

    He threw almost every possible idea out there. Anybody can do it and then yell told ya so on the one that kind of hits. It’s not just this guy it’s virtually the entire sports journalist world. Pretty sure I sent out the one that hit along with 4 or 5 other scenarios. One is bound to hit if you throw enough sh*t at the wall.

    Most metrics have him top 15.
    All NBA voters have him at 16
