    Krejci and Nance would be an absolutely sick small package to steal at the deadline. Both good shooters who fill needs for us. Cheap depth move nothing fancy.

    Codman liked my post about Krejci, maybe I'm onto something.

    A “Phoenix” is also a type of bird.

    It’s been irreparable because there was nothin there in the first place. We don’t run plays or we don’t run them efficiently. What I seen on Saturday was reminiscent of the Silas era. If you don’t have an upgrade for FVV, the you have to bring him back. It should be the car but he pretty much irreplaceable for us. Amen can’t run an offense. Reed can’t(yet?). Holiday can’t. Amen can’t.

    Wait a second.

    The birds. Like the Larry Birds?

    Because the other day he mentioned the Holiday brothers and what was that?

    We know the Celtics have to get off someone in the summer. Not sure why they would so urgently do it now unless we are paying them so well it's worth giving it up early. FVV means they get to chug along almost as good overall and salary is off the books.

    By this summer, they unavoidably have to get off:

    Kristaps (29 yers old)
    Holiday (34 years old) >> obvious choice
    White ($20m, no way)

    FVV and 2 picks for Holiday? The Holiday bros at starting and backup PG?

    No, it just means we have a team full of raw, inexperienced players who quickly spiral out of control as a unit without a coach on the floor to keep things in order.

    You have to think about this as obvious because the Warriors have been calling everyone and getting shut down. We have to be at the front of the line for Phoenix because of what we hold. They were so desperate for those picks to trade Beal and I don't think they can do it. Durant is seeing pieces moved around on the board.

    Yup and Stone/Udoka are watching Spurs make moves too.

    Durant might make us the best team in the league honestly. I really believe the fit is so good, it's more than the sum of parts.

    The only scenario where I want Kevin Durant is if he can be had for Brooks, Landale, Jeff Green, and Aaron Holiday plus picks.

    The Suns do it because we own their picks and they are going to be tanking....so they need those picks and they might as well get essentially only expiring contracts to help start the rebuild with more of a clean slate.

    The Rockets do it because KD could help them win it all this season and they'd only be on the hook for this season and one more. Give the Rockets maybe 2 chances at winning it all before being out of the KD business.

    So basically just pull up any of those trade speculation articles out here and mention everyone listed in them? Helpful.

    It is not like Fred is getting any younger, better, healthier or wiser when you need him to.

    Flipping the finger to refs is his appropriate response.

    Guys. Codman was a misspelling no one seemed to notice. It’s supposed to be Conman. And you guys buy his con every single time.

    It's about the fun and speculation. Would you rather another thread about how Jock Landale is the X-Factor or Burt Steele bomb?

    I agree with you. We can make a run at the championship this year if none of our core of Sengun, Amen, Jalen, and Jabari are in the trade. I would love Cam, Reed, and filler and 2 of Phoenix picks (their choice) and our 2031 frp (if necessary).
    It would almost certainly have to include FVV since Phoenix can't aggregate salaries being over the 2nd apron, and they have to have roster room. FVV, CAm, Tari and picks would get it done, Maybe in a seperate deal we get Lonzo or Coby.
