I don't see a reason to trade 41 and 36 for say 32

just get two solid role players...

That's the plan! :nod:

If we land some talent with these picks, the loss of future firsts will sting less.

I've been quietly impressed by a lot of these moves.

I've always advocated building around Booker only, getting him guys who can 1. defend 2. rebound 3. shoot.

GM has been checking off a lot of boxes already given the restrictions (Beal lol)

Fleming would be awesome. Hope he is still there at our pick. Love him as our PFOTF

Damn forgot to tweet the new trade -- Suns are moving 41 and 36 to get to 31. So they started with 52 and 59m traded two picks for 36, so basically, trading four second round picks, for pick 31.

Gambo didn't tweet it - he said it on the radio

Altogether so far I’m at a B+ for the offseason moves.
B- KD trade
A 1st round draft
B+ Williams trade
A+ pre draft second round pick trades


Let’s keep it going!

Fleming and Kam Jones would be a steal of the night.

Excellent balance of potential and fit.

Can someone explain what’s so special about Flagg? He does nothing spectacular to me. Not a great defender. No handles. Not a shooter. He’s just average to me. I don’t think he’ll be anything special. Ace Bailey or Harper looks like they’ll be the best of this class.

I was right. Giving myself my cookies. Next

(Wish the “Big Deal” was trading Beal to be honest).
