Why would we trade all of our shooters?

We get younger, more athletic shooters in return, albeit expensive ones.

The reward for absorbing onerous salary and adding sweetener is Mikal Bridges. He's the best wing defender in the league, and he's not gonna come cheap. PHX doesn't really want to lose him, but I think they would be willing in this deal, for the youth assets and extreme financial relief it would provide.

Respectfully I'll pass. I like the roster we have and Ben imo is a better player on both ends than Mikal Bridges.

I would do this for us. Bridges is easily the best player in the deal and we have too much redundancy at the guard spots.

Much rather have Saric over Shamet though.
