    Sounds like they are begging Houston for Reed, Jabari, or Cam plus all their picks back. Lol

    If Stone did that, he should be fired.

    I'm sure that's a lot of the issue.

    Suns: "OK, we'll take Amen Thompson....."
    Rockets: "No way, I told you..."
    Suns:

    I’d be willing to do Dillion, 2 1st round picks, Reed Sheppard, and Jock Landale.

    Why even put this out if you’re not planning on trading him?

    Suns can claim they want all that in return for KD, but this is when Stone needs to exert his leverage and start making threats

    surely you’ve done some oppo research on the Suns GM, it’s time to threaten to release the dirt

    Windhorst vacuumed those down before she even got to the studio. And she did try to get there early.
    "Sorry, Ramona. Windy was already here."
    "God-DAMN-it!"

    If Durant does not get traded today, the Suns are truly stupid. Make no mistake, Durant asked for a trade in private or the Suns would not have shopped him. He told them Yimmy or bust guys, this is not hard or even speculation. His value is going to be much less this offseason as a rental. Wait until you see how bad Suns look with a disgruntled Durant the second half of this season. I expect him to have an "injury" sabbatical. I expect our lottery pick to get a lot better. If we lucked into #1 or #3 again, I would LMAO.

    Remember all the BS last night, Suns are not trading Durant. They are still talking to teams today. The Suns have purposely avoided any Rockets offer because they know they are going to get bent over. They wanted to get the price up. The Rocket's picks from the Suns are worth more than any player because they are organization defining. The Suns have literally played EVERY hand except the hand with us. Stone went a little weak in the 2nd Nets deal not getting the PHI 2027 pick. He needs to F the Suns over.

    Start?

    Stone said this in the offseason: The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a rebuilding team is supposed to function. Until then: I will crush you without mercy, without compassion, without remorse.

    (allegedly)

    It could be a bunch of smoke but reports were that he did not in fact request a trade

    That’s not what you do. You wait until these picks are set one by one if you have to. You then trade it for a player that you want or trade it for more pick(s) in the future, or if it’s someone you feel like will improve the team like a top 4 pick or a older player in the draft.

    The suns will in fact suck this season and into the future. They have lost 3 straight and have the hardest remaining schedule in the NBA. Good luck with that.

    I agree that I doubt KD requested a trade.

    Much more likely that the Suns realized they could have traded Durant for Luka if they had just asked Nico (This would have sucked). They called other GMs to see if there was a second Nico out there.

    18 min to go - and Stone believes Cam Reed Tari Holiday Landale Adams Zeller is a solid bench
