    it’s like a poor person giving away their last dollar they had. Now there is nothing to lose.

    PHX is a good warning to the NBA to not have 3 players take up 107% of the league cap

    Got it. Couldn't believe they would trade their pick but it makes sense now. Likely a late first

    Let's see.
    1. Suns GM hoping Beal would leave, so Himmy can come.
    2. Beal's still there.
    3. KD finds out he's being shopped. says NO to re-uniting with GSW
    4. Himmy goes to GSW.
    5. Suns diluted their 1st round pick, but couldn't use it on a Himmy deal.
    6. Nurk gone.
    7. Suns gets blown out by the Thunder yesterday.
    8. All the while, a bunch of western teams upgraded.

    No surprises here. Ishbia said this loudly and often that he's not breaking up his core.

    How about we trade for fat Zion? I think it’s just a matter of him hating having to play in New Orleans.

    It’s not the first time we’ve seen players try to eat their way out of a situation if they’re disgruntled.

    Yep. The only thing to have to gain trading him right now is that 25 swap, which unless they go into complete tank mode won't be more than 3-4 positions higher than the Rockets in all likelihood. Of course, the Rockets might not want him over the summer. They are shooting for Booker, unfortunately. They have two years to go hard after Ant. We don't have a 26 pick.

    Do not be an out of box thinker on Clutchfans, ridicule awaits. But agree, Zion would be homerun swing for sure.

    Looks like the KD dream is dead, if it was ever even alive.

    I think he's still injured. He would be worth a flyer if all it took was Landale, Jeff Green, Hoiliday, and Springer plus a couple of second rounders. Every year on his contract is a team option.

    Yeah... upgrading their roster with no available assets!

    They'll spend the whole summer trying to trade Beal

    Zion is healthy, in shape and playing with abandon.
