    What do you mean money isnt an issue? Paying 20M more is an issue lol. You dont know if Fertita will pay the tax or not. In 2019 he didnt want to pay Ariza his 15M salary so yes 20M can be a big deal.

    Midrange is the worst shot in basketball James Harden hardly took any mid range you think he got "gravity" yes or no? lol Booker being a mid range specialist is why he hasnt won a ring. Specialize in the worst shot in basketball get destroyed by Giannis and Luka.

    You are forgetting 3 pt and defense, where Green is already better at both. I think forgetting contracts when one dude is making around 40% more is just wrong. You just forgo the opportunity cost of signing someone else with that money.

    I think if he gets the opportunity he will produce on both ends of the floor. He gets buckets, rebounds and blocks. Also he has handles, run the floor and he fits our timeline.

    Suns currently losing to the Pels. Sag for Flagg campaign might just be real.

    Down the stretch KD and Zion traded buckets. Booker missed a three then got blocked at the end.

    KD is actually still ridiculously good. The Suns are just broken, their defense is so bad and it looks like it stems from coaching, but then you realize this is their 4th head coach in 4 years, and Bud looks like could be gone too the way this team looks. Losing at home to a team fighting for last place and a top pick is crazy work. Then they have to run KD out there again tomorrow night for 40 minutes.

    Wait until Booker and/or Durant go 1-2-3-Cancun in a week or two with an "injury"

    Yes but there's basically no chance of it getting much better than 11, maybe it could drop to 10 or 9 if the bottom falls out, but its just tankers the Suns can't catch otherwise

    I really bottom 10 is the sweet spot to move up in the draft lotto.

    He read the chart wrong.

    I do think the Suns will eventually pass by the Blazers, mostly due to the Blazers actually caring about wins. There's a chance they may also pass by the Spurs if the Spurs get on a little run. Don't think there's any realistic chance they pass by anyone else. So best case is likely 9th slot in the lottery.

    But we've been quite lucky with the lottery so far...
