Durant would be a desperate attempt by Tilman to sell extra seats for one, maybe two seasons. Durant couldn't carry the Suns to a single playoff win. He would be the right piece for someone, but not for us where we presently are.
Why not trade Sengun, VanVleet, and all of the Suns picks for Booker? That keeps the Suns competitive, gets them out of cap hell, and returns their future to them. Meanwhile we get the best player in the trade and room for Clingan, who Ime would rather have than Sengun I believe.
Pass on trading Sengun he's a 22 future perennial all-star, you have to think long-term not just right now, it would be Green if anyone to be honest. Really I'm open to no deal and seeing how the team develops next season.
If the rockets acquire Durant another star has to come just Durant is not enough…could jimmy buckets be on his way here as well? There was a report about the rockets being interested in acquiring both.
Jabari Smith for Kevin Durant? The Rockets were hoping Jabari would've been creating his own shot and be his own Star. Durant age and mindset of being a Rental and moving on quickly. Hey if Tillman Fertitta wants to Blow it Up and Rebuild again in 2 years go ahead. I think Rockets Fans will be fed up if Tillman Fertitta blows up the core and adds washed up Stars. Feels similar Old 1999 Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Hakeem Olajuwon. Tillman Fertitta will get it alright.
And the 2029 picks we got from last night's trade is Mavs/Suns swap and best pick so it makes even more sense for PHX to trade KD to Mavs and deal Booker to us. They can get their picks back to properly tank and also pray KD kills the Mavs lol
Please no to KD because of age, and no to Booker because he's the most limited Top-15 guy out there. He gets buckets, but he's best suited for a Kyrie role where that's all he has to focus on, next to a more complete #1/superstar. KD is kind of in the same boat since he can't move like he used to on defense, but if nothing else, he's 6'11" or 7'0". I honestly wish we made a move for Jaylen Brown instead last summer when his value was lower, before he got his deal.
Tillman Fertitta is completely opposite of Jim Crane. Tillman Fertitta acting like Jerry Jones Ime Udoka acting like Bill O Brien, Jack Easterby as a GM I really see Rafael Stone and Eli Witus leaving this disaster of Ownership and Coach.
Booker is soft KD is soft Beal is the worst contract in the nba , owed 160 million over the next 3 years . You feel lucky if you get 160 games over the next 3 years . You are likely paying this dude more than 10 million a game . idk what the hell the suns are doing . booker got massively overrated because he made some shots in the playoffs , but defensively he’s a 0 Durant is good . But he’s a robin .
"We" [Tilman Fertitta] once traded Chris Paul and assets for Russell Westbrook. We also traded assets for the corpses of Brandon Knight, Iman Shumpert and others while the team was contending for top 3 in the West. Never say never with this owner.
Ride it out Suns, feel free to keep in touch after next season or if Booker doesn't want to stay for something fair for both sides. Anything can happen and the price may go up, I'll enjoy our 19-22-year-old star potential players growing this year. On to the #3 pick of the draft
I'd be really sad if we give up too much for Durant or gutted the team for a 28yr old Booker who has a couple 2-3yrs left of his prime
This has the Tilman's written all over it, yuck. Remember CP3/Westbrook deal, they want the shiny objects.
