Goodwin, Beal, Okogie, Bates-Diop, Eubanks
Payne, Lee, Wainwright, Camara, Metu

I don't think it's terrible but Beal would have to go for 40, maybe we could go close to .500 if it's a soft schedule.


Damn, should we start preparing for a new gift coming out of China ? :o

Anyone know of this guy? I see Flex and Aussie Suns fan both follow him.
Reading the comments below it, it's like he keeps doubling down. Probably nothing but figure something to talk about.

I think this guy was also adamant we were getting Kyrie. I don’t think he actually knows much. Maybe he knows a guy who knows a guy.

If it’s true and our FO values Harden over PG…..I dunno lol that’s pretty awful. If you could get either one for the same price (guarantee you can’t), then our FO is stupid.


Also not sure the money works out at all since we can’t add another player to an Ayton trade (maybe we can add on TPEs?)

Anyway, all for fun.

I have mentioned him and somebody else on Twitter - D Rock Trainer or something like that - who were convinced Ayton was being traded

Now DCOldest comes out with this about Harden and PG13 and I don't see it happening. The Suns don't ahve anything to really offer. I think he is being used to help drive up the Clippers to send over Mann

Off-topic a bit but Mikal and CamPayne were at Frank Kaminsky's wedding last week. I didn't realize he was engaged to Ashley Brewer - jsut fired from ESPN. Good for Frank the Tank. Also just sold his house in Phoenix a few weeks ago - in the sunday paper. He got like 5m or something

Only way this makes any sense is if it's a 3 team deal with Clippers, 76ers, Suns.

Ayton to Clippers, George to 76ers, Harden to Phoenix.

Likely just another bogus tweet. 76ers don't want Ayton and that's all the Suns have to trade to 76ers unless it's a 3 team deal.

Makes no sense for Clippers to trade PG to 76ers without Harden unless they want Ayton.

Harden to Phoenix is still possible if Suns trade Ayton but again would have to be a three team deal.

I have this guy blocked. It's not the first time that he says that he has sources and ends being bull.

I am gonna keep ignoring him.

I mean, this doesn’t verify him at all in my opinion, but Flex says the dude has sources.

But still, if you can trade for George (no way clippers would do that nor do we have enough to trade) you do it.

Harden? Gtfo with that ****

George would be another 45.6 million dollar contract!?!?!? It would be Durant at 47.6, Beal at 46.7, George at 45.6 and Book at 36 mill and Book, Beal and Durant all jump into the 50 million dollar range next year with George at 48.7. There's no way in hell this can be ok!!!

We gonna pay Beal to average 15 ppg if we get PG13? $50 million dollar sixth man?

At some point you have to consider proper roster construction if you have 3 creators already. Harden shouldnt even be in the conversation with how we are constructed.

These are surely the tallest of tales.

This is driven by an agent -- I have a feeling.

If the Suns do this deal - it would such an imbalanced team.

I can see Ayton being traded - but it will be for a deal that helps with the future cap of the team while also giving them a solid option at the 5. If he is traded

The Paul George rumors are 100% completely false. He was never discussed by Frank Vogel or anyone else in the organization. Good Day Sir!

Per league sources, the one-year contract for Jae Crowder with the Bucks is a league-minimum deal.

Yeah, I am not surprised at all.

He made a terrible decision last year and he is paying for it.

In retrospect both sides look pretty dumb for not working this out last summer.

We couldn’t trade for George even if we wanted to the suns don’t have the contracts. Plus him and Durant have a contest for missed games every year PG’s just usually happen in the playoffs as soon as he sees his team is getting the a$$ kicked.
