    That means Booker has to be available right?

    Fred and Cam plus their picks for Booker and Tyus Jones (plus the 2025 Cavs pick from them)


    They have to give us back the 2025 Cavs pick (we have to choose in the first round of this draft since we don't have a 2026 pick).
    Booker can run point and Tyus Jones is a super steady bench guy.

    Cam gives them some excitement while FVV matches salary and they can try and re-up him in the off-season for a lower salary.
    They get their picks, in this deal I am assuming they shut it down and tank as hard as they can the rest of the way, get whatever they can for Durant and Nurkic and refresh themselves for 2025/6

    Gonna take more than that I think. I’d definitely do this, though.

    Best I can do is Booker for FVV and a protected first round pick.

    Mat Ishbia: "Felicia called me while she was at brunch with her friends. She was like would you ever trade Booker? You could do so many things if you had your picks back and FVV as your starting pg. He is an all world champion she said. Totally knows Drake. We laughed about it. Then laughed some more. Over the following weeks, I thought about it more and more. Durant and Fred sounds like the perfect tandem. I only had conversations with Felicia. I just couldn't say no to making our team better with Fred. "

    A booker trade only makes sense if we can trade Jalen. But since we can't it doesn't make sense til the off season. Cuz what are we gonna do with booker and Jalen.

    Don't understand how they play together as it makes our defense worse and neither can play point guard. Phoenix already tried it without a PG and failed miserably with a much better player in KD.

    It'd be fine, particularly with Sengun and Amen. Plenty of ways to initiate an offense. Having a "true PG" is overrated. Green / Booker / Brooks / Amen / Sengun is a contender.

    If the Suns want to retool, there’s really no better time to do so. Send Durant to the Warriors for Wiggins and Kuminga, send Booker to us for your picks another more solid prospects.

    I guess I should look up Grant What's-His-Face before even addressing this, but in exchange for what? Mitchell Wiggins
    It makes you wonder hope.

    I would trade FVV and 4 picks for KD. Because the way Amen looked at the point last night, I think it’s time to let him be the floor general.

    Let’s assume Booker would be the replacement for Jalen, not FVV. What trade gets us there right now?
