    Trade FVF and others To Suns for there 2027 or 2029 1st rounder and the Mavs 1st rounder in 2030 I believe and bring back that scoring punch and another ball handler… this would make my day. It’s been a hard offseason just being stagnant.

    Things aren't so bad that we need to go back to tanking. Leave the commander in the desert

    he wouldn’t be our commander, he’d be like a fourth or fifth man on the ship… I just want scoring punch not a leader

    He could command the tank from the bench.

    I think its a good idea to have him as a 3rd option. It takes the burden off KD, gives the Rockets another ballhandler, someone who can get to the rim and it speeds up the pace of play

    you know in the playoffs for Phoenix, he took the most shots while shooting the worst efficiency right?

    Its not much out there, to where you can keep your 2027 picks. Like I said in a different thread, I think you can trade FVV, Fred and give Phoenix back their pick swap for next yr.

    They will still have Brooklyn's pick and their own pick. And if nothing else, he will give you an additional score to to take pressure off KD

    Did his scoring take pressure off of Booker? Doesn’t look like it did

    blame it on injury or whatever, but Jalen was absolutely terrible last year

    Kevin Durant doesn’t need an inefficient shot taker, he needs a PG and 3 point shooters…that’s what the whole team needs

    Great idea. Let's all text our ex girlfriends while we're at it. Maybe things will be different this time.

    If we are taking on his contract and only giving up expiring money, why the hell are the rockets ADDING draft capital? The suns would be the team giving up a first to dump the contract.

    bro, if you would have said trade the expirings of Fred and DFS for Jalen, the Suns might do that, just to get off his negative value contract early. But you said throw in 2 or 3 picks too!?!?! Nah, c'mon man -- you're either trolling or need help.

    Anyone have John Wall’s phone number while we’re at it? Maybe Jeremy Lin?

    Should have never traded Jalen and Dillon in the first place, lost defense, lost chemistry, lost ball handling, lost youth, lost value overall.... The rebuild was working, then Stone flushed it down the toilet...
