    No he did not.

    Phx allegedly WANTED Cam, but the Rockets refused, because they know, what I know, that Cam is going to be special.

    General sentiment of Suns Reddit:

    Knew they were going to make the disgusting deal. F#ck this franchise. Really don't know if I'm still going to support.

    My favorite one:

    All this so we don't have to trade Booker. This little maneuver is going to cost us 51 years

    literally sub out green and plug in durant who can shoot over anyone. Durant is smarter taller, bigger than green if he got trapped. Amen and Sengun playing off that trap. dear lord its so much better.

    fans know nothing.

    we were mad when Parsons left and Ariza was his replacement.

    Time tells all.

    I just woke up went to eat some pho and saw this. Bummer that Brooks had to go but it is what it is. I just hope KD has a bit left in him. This give some of the younger guys more playing time.

    Green
    Booker
    Brooks
    10th pick
    Free agent center

    42 + wins with a team more focused on defense

    Im just concerned about their traps and zones. Hopefully Amen extends his range so he can pull up for 15-18 ft or shoot 3s. Or do they put Durant in the middle of those zones and let him work like how Pacers do with Siakim

    Thanks DD….there is a post where he said the Suns were getting him, a few pages back in this forum but the consensus was that it was printed just prior to the trade. Looks like he was taken out and maybe replaced by Dillon.

    I rather start Tari over Jabari.

    KD can't guard 3s and Jabari isn't quick enough to guard most 3s. But then again if we start Tari, we lose a lot of shooting.
