If the Suns are trading for EG then you can count on them including Crowder in the package back. If you can't find a 3rd team, then you have to assume it's cash-n-cut. Add a Sun's future pick and any filler to make the salaries work because the only way you're getting a future pick back for an aging EG is if they give negative value. I really want to keep KMJ unless it's known that he won't resign here. Yes he has some limitations but he's really young and gets along good with this group
https://theathletic.com/3992371/2022/12/12/bojan-bogdanovic-jae-crowder-shams-charania-inside-pass/ Multiple league sources said the Suns recently engaged in three-team talks that would have sent Crowder to Milwaukee, four Bucks second-round draft picks along with players to Houston, and Eric Gordon and/or Kenyon Martin Jr. to Phoenix. The hold up in the potential three-teamer was that the Rockets are coveting one first-round pick for Gordon, and for Martin a very good first-rounder, not a batch of second-rounders, according to sources. The Rockets have had interest in Gordon from several contending teams, sources said, but appear less willing to entertain the topic of Martin. Martin has had a breakout third season, averaging 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 24.2 minutes while shooting 54 percent shooting from the field. The 21-year-old has this season and 2023-24 remaining on his contract and should command a strong extension next summer or a free agency offer in 2024. The Rockets have compiled eight first-round picks through 2029 and have a talented young core of players in Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith II, Tari Eason, Jae’Sean Tate and Martin.
I'd do Gordon+KMJ + Milwakee 1st for Crowder + Bridges does Phoenix? If no, what would it take to snag Bridges?
THERE YOU GO...EVERY YEAR MEDIA FINDS SOMETHING THAT IS WORTH TANKING FOR..THIS IS A SPECIAL YEAR BECAUSE....BLAH BLAH BLAH @Ankara1923 @LeDakota @aaquaa @DreamShook @PeterKingX @AroundTheWorld @J.R. @tinman @harold bingo @ExTxGS @conquistador#11 @CHAMPBOY @mirdirir @Joe Rocket @WestendMassive @Salvy @clutchdabear @berkowsk @j@amc @Killatron 2000 @Dovahkiin @ExTxGS @cmoak1982 @bmelo
The trade is simple (sic): EGo, KKj, Milw #1 - Crowder, Shamet, ‘25 #1, ‘26 #2, ‘27 #1 - - - then: Crowder, Shamet - DRobinson, ‘28 #1 - - - then: Robinson - Bev, Nunn ‘27 #2 ‘29 #2 See, easy.
i predicted this... i even argued with a pro tank believer this will happen even tho i didnt know how... but he told me impossible nobodys special in that class... turns out when you think losing is a solution, when you are addicted to losing youll always find reasons to do so...
Bridges is the glue of the Suns. He's going nowhere. Neither is Cam Johnson. They are going all in on this season and need to manage Booker's minutes better. They need Gordon to give the team some dog when Booker is on the bench. They need KMJ to fill in for injured Cam Johnson. Bucks need Crowder to be their Tucker. We need picks and assets and to free up minutes for development. I'd take the Suns' first round pick and a couple of second round picks and Beauchamp.
Did you know you quoted yourself? Rockets will be trying to win next year. We owe out pick to OKC, so there is no point in losing. Getting a 2024 1st from another team in a double draft is a very smart idea isn't it? Maybe the nuances of NBA team building escape you
If they are trying to win next year they'd keep KMJ. The first picks are for the future and won't turn into NBA ready players over night.
Get as many second round picks as you can and you'll get a Jokic. Who needs to tank for lottery picks? @hakeem94
what’s he worth on an extension do u think? Tate money ($7 mil), KPJ money? I guess I’m cheap and hoping for no more than $9 mil.
