    I don’t really buy either of those reported deals that come from the Sun’s mouthpiece. They look very rich.

    How does that salary match even work? The 3 Raptors players are worth $77-$78 million, so Phoenix is going to go further over the second apron unless I am reading salaries incorrectly.

    Show me where they said that. You can’t make things up and then not show proof when asked for it. I think your dislike for Jalen is getting in the way of your judgement. You literally said the Suns said they rather have an early second and now you’re making up what you think Jalen’s value is by saying he’s worth an early second(which is hilariously false)

    I’m guessing the trade is really RJ or Quickley and Poeltl. The money is pretty clean with one of those two + Poeltl. Not sure how they skirt the second apron rules to land all three.

    I guess you are asking me to show you what words mean....

    When you say that you don't want a player, you want whatever you can get for them in trade, and their trade value is somewhere around a late first or early second, you are saying you'd rather have a late first or early second rather than them.

    I'm not sure how to explain that in any more simple terms.

    Like I said, you can’t create things and pass it as fact. Show me just anywhere that says Jalen’s value is late first-early second. Just anything.
    I know you can’t but it should be fun.

    Okay....so are you crazy enough to think that it's more than that? I was being generous. If you look at the places this is being discussed, most seem to think that he has negative value and that the Suns would need to send something with him in order for teams to take him in exchange for a bad contract.

    That's more like the package I'd like to see, Dillon Brooks, filler, and picks.

    Okay so you went from initially saying(verbatim) that the Suns said they rather have an early second over Jalen to saying that’s Jalen’s value to now admitting that it’s your own perception. There’s no discussion to be had here if you’re going to argue in bad faith.

    LOL, okay, I'll play along. Tell me your hilarious idea about what you think Jalen Green could fetch in trade so we can be on the same page.

    Rockets tight lipped. Wants to keep Jalen. Ime & Stone disagreements. We haven’t seen Fred in a single media trade scenario

    Fred’s getting traded

    I don’t care if he stays or goes. Personally I rather we package Jabari, Reed and the 10th pick since our plan of re-signing FVV and getting KD would make those 2 players redundant. You trade Jalen, you essentially have 1 single perimeter player and that’s injury prone KD. If it was for Booker or another good 2 guard, go ahead. You guys are clouded by his playoff performance and swear it’s the end of the world.

    If it’s brooks, reed and the 10th pick you do it.

    Reed isn’t the next curry and is a liability on defense. We can find another shooter via FA or draft

    Uh it depends who’s available. Hence why we’re discussing KD. It’s like asking what can Sengun fetch? Notice how we don’t because Alpi isn’t available? I know you’re disingenuous as seen by your posts but not everyone has ulterior motives like you. You’re saying Jalen’s value is an early second round pick so by your own admission, Rafael Stone would or should trade Jalen for a second rounder lmao. I’m sure that would make our team better. Notice how this is a KD thread and why we’re discussing Jalen in the context of KD, not in the context of who would you trade Jalen for? I don’t even want Jalen traded unless it’s for the benefit of our team.

    No one smart thinks we’re better off with a second round pick over Jalen. But tell us again how the Suns told everyone they rather have a second round pick over Jalen.
