    I think everyone should discount the rumors and take a chill pill until next week. Because the Suns are finding it hard to get what they want, they will probably stretch this out until the last minute to make sure every possible suitor (including the alleged late-comers lurking in the dark) play their final hand.

    Yeah, I cant see the Rockets or anyone else paying a kings ransom for him. If the suns had gotten an offer they wanted hed have been traded by now.

    At the end of the day, I think it will be

    PHX - HOU - BRK

    PHX: #19 + 2027 PHX FRP (via HOU) + Claxton (BRK) + Whitmore (HOU) + Landale (HOU)

    BRK: FVV (HOU) + Brooks (HOU) + #10 + 2027 BRK FRP

    HOU: KD (PHX) + Cam W (BRK) + #27+ 2027 PHI FRP

    3 SRPs to BOS for Hauser

    Amen - Shep
    Thrilla - Hauser
    KD - Tari
    Cam W - Bari
    Alpe - Adams

    I never heard that Ferittas & Stone are basketball experts. Do they know basketball? I don't think so.

    The trade CAN happen without JG’s contract, but we definitely will have to give them their 27 FRP back.

    This means either picks are about the same or less?

    Because there no way any team giving up that much unless rockets
    can get nets involved.

    So the Spurs, Wolves and Rockets are all out of the running. Good to know.

    Pick volume and value are different things. I think many teams would trade 4-5 firsts for the Brooklyn pick in 2027 as an example.

    Jalen is not being traded. The Rockets love the guy, because he is young, super athletic, shows promise, and works his tail off. The hold up is Phoenix not wanting FVV in the trade.

    FVV+Cam+Jock+2027 1st back. If they want a future lotto protected pick, sure.

    I want this to be over. The Suns can make it easy on us by being greedy. We should feel fine walking away if they are demanding too much. We’re gonna be fine. But we do need to shore up some of the glaring weaknesses. The back court and shooting. There are other ways to do that.
