    I don’t think Ishbia is going to trade KD

    Surprise surprise the Suns have set themselves up to be a really bad team with nothing to show for it.

    I'll still be surprised if we swing a trade for KD or Book, but I guess it did get a little bit more likely.

    Everyone is saying that this helps us with PHX, but why? Just because there was some interest in the Suns adding Butler?

    I don’t know that it necessarily signals they’re going to blow it all up. Plus if they do, I’d rather have Book. But they’d probably rather hang onto him, and deal KD. They can also just run with this group, at least through the rest of the year, and then blow it up. But I’m too impatient - blow it up now, PHX!

    I don't understand this. We didn't want harden who is a great playmaker and tank for the most part in durability bc of his age and longevity. Yet we now want an older snake who has more injury history.

    Like durant is good but we shouldn't b desperate

    Definitely good for the Rockets that they missed out on Butler. Butler isn't that great anymore, but at least he's a lot healthier than Beal and isn't redundant with Booker. Even if they don't blow it up, this makes it more likely they don't make the playoffs and that pick being of a lot higher value.

    He is a skills coach apparently. What the F is he doing tweeting. Get over to the H and teach us how to inbound the ball!

    I have a feeling KD to the Rockets is pretty likely.

    Something like Cam and Jabari plus their picks for KD.


    Not based on anything but pure speculation.

    Don't want KD ( he's the primary reason we're shorting PHX) AND that's way too much.

    I think we have a good shot of having another lottery pick. Suns and Warriors going to be playing for a play in spot.

    Fanspo trade works:

    Kevin Durant for Brooks, Jeff Green, Landale, Tate, Springer and probably their picks.

    VanVleet - Green - Thompson - Durant - Sengun
    Sheppard - Whitmore - Eason - Smith - Adams

    Have to fill in the depth with some upgraded 2 ways and vet minimums but it could work without giving up our 7.

    FVV + filler + picks for KD and
    So we can expect to see VanVleet back in action soon.

    Durant works with Jalen in the summer would be so good for both Amen and Bari also …

    my wish would be Maxey and Durant for FVV Landale Brooks Tate
