    It's the only way this makes sense to me, which probably means it won't happen

    Woj is out there tweeting Durant rumors. I am inclined to believe that one more because it feels like a Tillman Fertitta move to burn assets for a washed star at the wrong time.

    What if it’s someone unexpected like ja Morant I mean you never know, obviously Devin booker is better. We just have to wait to see

    Don’t like Booker at all. Almost like a lateral move if we trade Green for him.

    And Booker has hamstring issues…pulls it almost every year.

    Have no idea if Booker is what his team needs but the Rockets seem to be going for it. Exciting times for sure.

    If we do something like Green plus Phoenix picks for Booker, it would actually be sweet

    They are trying to win this year so nothing happening on the book front this year.

    And they just hired Bud

    The problem here is that you can't force a team to rebuild even if everyone else knows it's what they should do. If they decide to be like Chicago and stay mediocre for a decade there's nothing we can really do.

    The Suns still have a 1st rounder swap going to the Wizards in 2026, so the odds of them trading Booker before then is near zero. If the Rockets can get that swap rights and then send to Phoenix, that may be worth it for them to blow it up. Otherwise I would expect them to just keep running it back. Which might make the 2027-29 draft assets really good, but that's much more down the line.

    Think Durant will make ALL of our team better shooters in the end............

    One thing to keep in mind is the Suns current ownership hates tanking--they will never tank and rebuild if they have any other choice

    I'm not optimistic about these picks, they have enough stars on their roster to keep spending and running it back and not be total garbage. Unlike the Nets, who were doomed to be a lottery team with or without Mikal Bridges.

    That’s what I’m hoping for. PHX should blow it up and move Durant to a contender for picks. Then we give them Green and maybe Cam or Tari. They get to rebuild with their picks, more picks and Green.

    FVV DB JG and one of JT JL or Uncle Jeff is enough salary to trade for

    both Book and KD...

    Suns get back their picks...

    that is the offer.......Jalen Green, expiring contracts, brooks and all the picks for book and durant
    offer will be presented with pick #3

    hopefully PHX turns it down and we keep rolling


    there's just a good a chance that PHX winds up in the lottery as there is the Nets...especially with Ja coming back and Memphis, us, Sacramento all pushing for the playoffs
