Salvage the KD & Booker era

Booker & KD playing like trash with 4th stringers almost beat the then soon to be champs Denver Nuggets. Then Ishiba went all Jerry Jones and the Beal trade ended it and the Ayton trade put a nail in the coffin. Everything is on the table but those 2, Tyus & Dunn. As a KD fan, I hope they blow it up and he goes else where but Ishiba is too prideful so no just blow it up posts please. 2031 1st is available with Beal only. Looking to trade Grayson for a center not named Robert Williams. Okogie for a taller version of himself. Royce as well can be had for a taller front court piece. Really hope we can trade for a center then trade Nurkic for anything.

I liked Allen for Mo Wagner and maybe a couple 2nds, but Mo had something happen with his knee recently so maybe that's not longer viable.

That didn't really happen...

Think Bradley Beal limits any salvage plan. Tough to find a team with 50 million in contracts that benefits with Beal.

With the assets available there’s really no salvage job possible.

Either tear it down or go all in even more which frankly is a very bad decision.

“We went 2-4, it was almost a winning streak if you think about it…”

It is really a bummer to think about Ayton. A good version of him would have been a great fit.

Seems to be expecting Phoenix to trade their players for better (and cheaper - as needed by 2nd apron rules) versions of themselves. That's a tough ask.

If Beal was on a normal max instead of a super max something around him for Randle could’ve made sense.

Like the Wagner idea too. Unfortunately it’s not an option anymore. What about Allen for Beef Stew? Or Okogie and a 2nd or two for Nick Richards?

RWIII + Reath + Banton for filler and the 2031 FRP?

Not sure PHX would be desperate enough. But gets them a C upgrade, a playable stretch big and another handler / creator.

Yes, there is no way that the Suns trade a valuable unprotected 1st for mediocre (at the best) and damaged prospects.
