    Out of curiosity, which team/s do you think might be interested?

    I think teams like Charlotte, Utah, Brooklyn or Washington would take the gamble. The Raptors have too much salary tied up in a young core, and Portland doesn’t need guards.

    Never had any respect for Tomball Jimmy, imagine going around flexing that you have no association with Houston, as you grew up in Pasadena, Katy, or Sugar Land.

    Clown behavior.

    We said the same thing about the Nets, but the moment they saw a deal to take back their own picks, they jumped on it.

    I had to go look up this trade. I can't believe the Suns got fleeced lol like this. In my head I kept telling myself, there is no way Bradley Beal fetched this amount of capital.

    Damn, Suns really did give away their future for mediocrity lol.

    Where you read this? I only saw Memphis being told Jimmy doesn't want to play there.

    I think there was an era of significantly overpaying for players in trades. Maybe that era ends with the last major trade but as of this season it seems to still be the case.

    Keep in mind even recently Mikal Bridges netted FIVE first round picks. I get it… around here Bridges is more popular and you’d rather have the something new but it terms of value around the league it’s not like Bridges is significantly more valuable. He’s older with a lower ceiling. Scores less and barely shoots a higher percentage from 3.

    Again I’m not trying to tell people Jalen Green is amazing or not frustrating as hell, but I am trying to say that the league in the past few years has demanded ALOT of draft capital for players like Jalen Green and we’d probably be surprised to learn that Stone likely would demand a pick from Miami if there was a Jalen for Butler swap that was technically able to be made.

    What team is dumb enough to take on Beal just to help Phoenix improve?

    Phoenix likely doesn’t care to extend Jimmy since they already have Beal for several more years. Swapping the same contract length for a better player likely seems like a win to them.

    If the Suns include their 2031 pick they are idiots.

    It would be near impossible for PHX to recoup their picks the way Brooklyn did.

    The Rockets own 27 pick and 25 swap.

    Three teams have a piece of the 26 and 28 swaps

    Brooklyn owns the 29 pick 30 swap.

    Just too many teams involved and they really have nothing those teams want

    Butler to Phoenix, Durant to Houston, Beal to Miami.................... We get involved and help the Heat and Suns do the deal with our draft capital.

    Imagine trading Beal and Durant only to get Butler back lol. No matter what, the Suns are stuck in mediocrity, but come on man, this is not happening.

    Depends how many draft picks come along with it.....especially if the Suns continue to fall out of Playoffs calculations

    The fact that Phoenix only has their 2031 pick left to trade shows that they're already idiots.

    I don’t know what a Thot is but I agree with it. It’s FDA approved.
