    God I hope this is true. I can’t imagine anyone wanting Reed.

    I still believe a Fox/Green backcourt would be explosive. Let’s make it happen.

    I don’t know. I just trust Bookers shooting a lot more than Fox. And he’s a better defender as mentioned. If I’m going all out and those are our two only options, I’d take Booker easily. I feel like with Fox we will not only lose defense but also have another inefficient scorer.

    I remember that championship run for suns when they lost to the bucks. Booker was so money and lights out.

    I hate to disappoint you, but it is very unlikely Booker will become available.

    Unless KD goes down with a knee injury, both guys will stay on the Suns until the end of next season. They didn't guarantee Mike Budenholzer $50 million to coach a tanking team.

    I agree 100%. I was just responding to some of the talk of which of them folks preferred. So IF given a chance, booker easily for me. Without having to think too much about it.

    But you’re right. I don’t see that happening anytime soon, if at all. Though I do like whenever I see the suns lose ;)

    Ok cool 100 dollar tip jar bet? So when Sheppard turns 22 he should be considered better than 22 yr old Jalen right?

    Kings just went on a 3 ws afrer Brown firing. Fox might sadly be out of reach now.

    That's a stupid bet. I wouldn't take it. Realistically you'd need to put Sheppard at 24 to compare to Jalen at 22. Experience on the court matters. It will take years for Reed to catch up to Jalen's 8454 NBA minutes. Sheppard only has 349 min. Sheppard won't get those minutes here, so he's better off being traded for his own sake. I have no doubt that after Reed takes 1812 more 3's in games he will be way better than Jalen's 31.9%. Jalen has taken 1880 3's compared to Reed's 68. I also believe Reed will have more blocks and steals per game than Jalen with another 8105 min on the court, along with a better ASST/TO ratio. Do I think Reed will ever be able to slash and dunk like Jalen? No, but I think he will be better in other ways that matter just as much.

    FFV Reed Cam And tari and 2 firsts

    Before get upset at for me saying tari..Tari has now missed more games then played..from what it looks like ..he is a prone and those knees won't improve . Much as I love him..

    Reed and Cam is expandable ..chances are low they become anything what Fox is

    FFV is just needs to be gone

    Fox Heuter and some one or pick swaps coming. Back will be better for Houston .

    Maybe a 3 team trade that gets them Fox Heuter and a serviceable PF until jabari comes back

    Fox and Green will work ..since Fox and monk works

    Need to keep some assets after getting Fox. Doesn't have to be Booker, but another top 30 guy.


    If Fox (top 25) and Sengun (top 35) ends up being like Fox and Sabonis, which everyone already see what that ceiling looks like. You want enough picks and young prospects (like a Reed, Jalen, or an Amen if he doesn't develop a shot) to trade for a third top 25 guy.

    Big picture.

    We don't have any top 10 guys. But if we have two top 25 and one top 30, it might get us in the mix for contention.​

    If one of the home-grown becomes a top 25, even better. But, as of today, no one is untouchable.

    Yup. By the end of his 3rd year he'll be better than 4th year Jalen.

    Does Sac-town laugh at an offer of Jalen, Reed, Cam and a 1st rounder?
