    It is the ball control and play set up and getting the ball to players in the right spots that perhaps goes unseen (by some).

    FVV is far from great, but he is better than not having a pure point.

    that stem from Ime and his lack of offensive system or philosophy. All He cares about is defense

    Ime will never criticize Fred and some other vets publicly. Not like how eviscerates Alp + Amen.

    FVV is also a crutch for Udoka. He will not deviate from broken half court offense with Fred on roster.

    My prediction is that the Suns do not trade Durant. They will finish middle of the pack and try to figure it out in the offseason.

    It is really hard for the Rox to get KD, some of our pieces like Green and Alpi are on rookie scale deals - we would almost need to add Brooks or FVV to make it work.

    You can't trade FVV, it'll have to be Brooks

    ...thats not entirely true - the problem is they signed extensions later than expected so now Alpi can only be traded in the offseason, and Jalen can be traded but it would be for some value average of his rookie scale deal and his extension deal which puts it in some no man's land for contract values making it hard to salary match in a trade.

    You can keep both. 3 team deal with the nets using trade exception works out on the trade machine

    I think we’d be a good destination from KD’s perspective. We’d give him a decent chance at a title without “Championship or bust” expectations. And if he won here, the “bus rider” allegations would disappear forever.
