I can't think of a plausible scenario where this trade is better for the Suns than just standing pat.

it’s huge.

But I feel like Keldon should go to Phoenix instead of Hunter? Feels unnecessary fluff anding Hunter here.. And take out the Sac first/future Atl first swap? Booker has more value than Trae, right? But Atlanta seems to be winning the “10, Sac first, Capela for Nurk, swap, 2027 unprotected first” part..

And SAS then owes Phoenix more value IMO, this doesn’t really seem the dream draft to have three top 10 picks..

As a Suns fan, I have to remind OP that we don't have any of our 1sts going forward. As such, blowing the team up makes 0 sense cause the only team that will benefit from it is the Nets.

I agree about trading Booker/KD and think we will trade.....1 of them. The other will be kept and rebuilt around with the assests we get from said trade.

Value doesn't seem that far off, but I don't like the Suns getting 3 picks in this draft and 3 next draft. Would rather have those 6 picks spread out over 4-5 drafts

If that is the case then KD us traded. If not, he would ask out immediately rather than a rebuild.

Personally don't think Trae makes sense in this trade. Durant makes a ton of sense. Now, the Suns aren't get two top-10 picks for him, but the Spurs have a lot of ways to make a deal happen. Young and his contract would sink that team.

Something where the Spurs buy Murray for the Suns and then eat the difference with cap space to either save the Suns a ton of salary or give them a TE to use with their 2024 first makes sense. The Suns the get PG they want, the Hawks get to cash out of DJM and the Spurs get the vet mentor for Vassell and Wemby while still continuing their rebuild.

I could see something smaller around Trae and Okongwu for Durrant.

I'd normally say that you have to wait for the lottery results, which are only a couple weeks away, but I think it won't matter in this draft and with this package going back to the Suns. It's going to be a hard pass from them.
