Milwaukees' going to really be hurting and could possibly miss the playoffs without Portis adding legit depth considering how thin they are various positions. Unfortunately, that could also lead to this:
KD trade to Milwaukee for Kuzma/ Portis/ Connaughton/ KPJr/ Jackson/ Smith Jr/ MIL 31' 1st.
No.
No point re-tooling.
Suns need to trade Booker and KD out for under 24 year olds and picks.... and a veteran PURELY for salary matching.
There's NO good foundation for the Suns to re-tool. Booker is a BAD option 1 player.
Oh I emphatically agree with you man! Only my gut tells me that Ishbias' delusional pride won't allow him to make an intelligent and logical decision in this! He'll likely just continue to try to double down rather than ever admit his mistakes and run this franchise so deep into the ground that it'll take decades to build it back to any form of acceptable level of competitiveness. He'll likely try and resign KD (unless Durant saves us from his ignorance/ hubris by asking out this summer. But even then, I could see him trying to trade those picks with Allen, O'neale, and other contracts for other aging players to keep trying his misguided strategy for the next 3-5 years or until Booker finally asks out too, and we get nothing for him at near 32 years old and are a historically bad laughingstock of the league that is referenced as a front office Masterclass for egregious mismanagement.
The trades I'm offering are not at all what I'd prefer us to do, the only viable options I'd hope they'd consider in compromise to their horrific plan to keep testing the definition of insanity! And hoping to prove reality wrong somehow to consol their bruised egos.
