Dwarf? Lol. In the end, does Minnesota have better "assets" than the Suns? Sure, if you count Wiggins and KAT. But they would not trade those assets for a guy like Boogie or essentially anyone. Milwaukee? You're going to have to explain that one because the Greek isn't going anywhere. When considering actual moveable, acquirable assets Suns are easily top five.
As for Bledsoe, as I said before, people under value him here and over value him on the Suns forum. Odds are Knight is the odd man out if the Suns are making a move involving someone from our backcourt.
Movable? What defines movable? every player is movable for the right asset. It doesn't sound like the Suns want to move Booker does than mean he doesn't count as an asset?
The problem is that if Bledsoe is healthy you shouldn't move him for 8th and if he isn't then the other team shouldn't trade for him. I will just say if you are expecting to get the level of asset you traded to get Knight back in a Knight trade, you should really temper your expectations.
Moveable can be defined as attainable. KAT isn't attainable. The Greek isn't attainable. Hypothetically the Warriors have the best assets in the NBA but they aren't trading for Steph or Klay. Your evaluation of the Suns assets was just a shot per usual.
I don't expect that Knight will get back the equivalent of the Lakers pick, Enis, and Plumlee but he can be used as an asset in a larger deal or in order to move up in the draft.
I beg to differ. Who decides which players are attainable? Realgm? You? Me? I would be very shocked if the Bucks turned down Greek for Lebron or Curry. If that is the case all indications say we aren't trading Cousins and Joerger and Vlade both said he isn't being traded. Does that make him unattainable?
Why are you spinning this as though I have some hate or dislike for the Suns? I am just saying how I see it, if you don't agree that is fine.
Booker - worth the #3 pick
#4 pick
#13

Those are what I see as your main assets. Tucker could probably fetch you a mid-late 1st round pick. I think Knight is not an asset. He is paid 12 million dollars and is better suited as a Jamal Crawford type off the bench. Those guys could be had for 5-7 million dollars so if you want to convince me that Knight is that much better go ahead I just don't agree. Chandler is on his last leg and paid over 10 million per year that is not an asset. Bledsoe is often injured, if he was healthy I would say hold off for a top 5 pick. As is with his multiple knee injuries and questionable future I just wouldn't trade him because as I said you won't be happy with the return.
Look what Vince Carter got when he was traded from the Raptors when he was considered Injury prone. Vince was only 2 years older than Bledsoe but on another level as far as a player. He didn't get anything. Teams just do not want to pay a premium price for a guy who is often injured, I don't think its "taking a shot at the Suns" I think it's an easy concept to understand.
