They'll trade KD before they trade booker.

More like Bradley Beal. :x :lol:
Fire everyone who doesn't win the NBA championship.

Tank for 2050. Robot players.

If the Raps end up with a top 4 pick in this draft, would you trade it along with contract filler (BB & resigned GTJ) to the Suns for KD?

I'm not suggesting any of the Raps core be traded (i.e. BBQ, Yak or Dick).

DOnt think its possible. Because Gary would have to agree to go there and free agency doest start till after the draft.

Not feasible. Phoenix would want more as well.

Likeliest scenario is we trade for Andrew Wiggins lol.

I don't see him wanting to come play in Canada.


This is usually nonsense. He’ll go to the highest bidder after being underpaid his whole career.


The vibes are that the highest bidder might be Orlando. They're desperate for exactly what he brings.

I love Monk, he's hugely underrated. People put him in the same category as other generic bench gunners but he in fact impacts the game like a fringe star IMO. With that said, I'm not 100% sure he's the best fit next to IQ, especially for the money he will be commanding. I'd rather go after Nikheil Alexander-Walker if the Twolves get apron'd out of affording him.

Frothing at the mouth, but no chance he would be available. He and Keegan Murray have been my holy grail for over a year.

It's not a question of whether Phoenix would want more. They will get more from other teams cause it only takes one. This team is not in a position to go after someone like Durant as he costs way too much and his career arc is on the down swing. Guys like Durant and LeBron just aren't wroth the cost of getting and maintaining any more, which is why their teams are "underperforming" to expectation.

I am a big advocate for drafting Dalton Knecht who I think replicates a lot of what those guys do.

We’ll be too small with Monk and IQ in the back court. At minimum, we need some length at the 2.
