Exactly what I said. Warren doesn't have much overall value, less than both Morris twins had who in spite of being complete knuckleheads, fit into the modern NBA game very well.

Warren is not a good defender and has limited shooting range, he is a solid role player. He holds more value to Phoenix than anyone else and there's no way any team is giving up a Top 10 pick for him. You can throw out all the ad hominem's you like, still won't change that. If he was this super valuable prospect, the Suns wouldn't be looking at replacing him with guys like Jackson and Tatum.


He's a decent player on a bad team but I don't really see him having much of a role on this team when/if they actually become competitive that doesn't involve him coming off the bench.


Well, we all have our own opinions but I think you're way off on Warren as a player if not as a trade chip. He may not be a star in the making but he certainly isn't what I think of when I think of "marginal role player" as you described him. I think he's a plus starter, even on a good team. Admittedly, I am a homer but I don't think it requires an ounce of homerism to rate him that way. Healthy, he was arguably our best player last season. I don't think he has the ceiling of a Booker or Chriss but I think he's already playing better than your typical 10 pick (even if he doesn't have trade value equal to that on draft day) and he's still improving.


Couldnt be more right my man. TJ just needs to stay healthy. But hes such a nice player. 6th man of the year or 20 6 3 kinda guy

He's a nice rotational player, a nice 6th man off the bench, he's not a starter for any team that has aspirations of doing anything beyond being the 8th seed.

I really value Warren/Bender. I know you guys want to move Warren. I want to keep him.

Thats the funnest side aspect of picking fox. If he would just destroy ball for the next decade that would be delightful.

Sent from my SM-G930V using RealGM mobile app
ball had a foot injury to be fair


And a sore hip too IIRC. I think Fox will always be a challenging matchup for Ball but DF will be a nightmare for a lot of point guards. I also expect to see another ball handler with Lonzo when all is said and done, so there's no reason to believe the Lakers can't work around that problem.

I think his value is far higher to the Suns than anyone else. I don't think you get much value for trading him, so might as well hold on to him. At worst you have cheap depth, a guy that can come in and hit some buckets for you.

Well, that's a little nicer than "marginal role player" but I still think you're underrating him. We'll see.

Oshley is a tard. He gonna give up crabbe and a pick or two only to see George walk. No one should be giving up anything for Paul at this point.
