Come on man, the only positive assets the Suns got back were the draft picks.
2 bad multiyear contracts
the 10th pick in a 8-9 player draft
5 2nd round picks which all look to be back half of the 2nd round picks at best.

We were offering at minimum 2 positive win now players in DDV and Randle or Gobert.
The rumors that we were throwing in the 17th pick plus TJ and/or Rob were the things that were making people angry.
And with TCs history those rumors were probably true.

It was rumored just a few days ago PHX really liked our offer and was ready to pull the trigger and I think it was only then that KD torpedoed it.

ESPN had us as winners in the trade simply for not making it because it would have left us with a depleted and messed up roster.

Now watch as the Spurs are smartly biding their time to make a run at Giannis when the opportunity presents itself.

Isn't it funny how all the most successful franchises in the long term are so good at playing the long game and not making a bunch of short term sacrifices?

And this is a clear example that you not even need the media inventions to manipulate you. You can make it yourself with zero proofs

5 first round picks and a swap for a supermaxed post-30 Rudy Gobert. That never happened.
Nor did he trade away almost every available Denver 1st round pick before he left there either. That never happened.

So you think that's true due to the 3 years ago Gobert trade that out is in the contending list. Ok

I'm glad I don't have to be concerned about KD coming here anymore.

That is all.

Windhorst has a source saying the Wolves offer was Gobert, DiVincenzo, Shannon and #17.

PHX said no because KD did t want to come here.

Seems like an overpay to me, especially leaving the team without a center, and three PF’s.

I read something different. That was the Suns ask, and the Wolves said no. There was something on hoopshype saying the Wolves were one piece shy of making the deal Phoenix was asking for. I know Rudy and DDV were on the table. That means either 17 or TSJ was the holdup. Assuming what I read is correct.

There was another thing as well saying that the Wolves were sticking to their offer which was Rudy, DDV, and I believe the pick. I can try to find it as well.
