Please stop bombarding me with these ridiculous James Harden rumors. I shot this down on June 9th - said zero percent chance. I don’t know who/where these rumors are coming from /maybe stop following these people? No chance! Never was a chance. Suns never were interested!

Vegas odds for Harden to the SUNS just increased significantly and I have heard that a trade is nearing completion.

Our team would be significantly worse with Harden on it. We are best with the ball in Booker’s hands. This rumor is ridiculous. If it is true, there is no team building going on. Just star-collecting. Old, washed up, choker star collecting.

Who knows at this point? Deals can fall apart pretty quickly.

My hope is that this deal was never serious and just was a phone call to gauge interest and price. This makes zero basketball sense.

Actually wouldn't be surprised if it was a non guarantee and he could be a two way. He cleared waivers with a contract that was barley above the league minimum so clearly not a lot of demand there

The Pacers have been mentioned in another possible trade discussion this week. Phoenix has continued to explore trade scenarios regarding reserve guard Cam Payne, league sources told Yahoo Sports, and Indiana point guard T.J. McConnell has been one player on the Suns’ radar. There was some talk around Summer League about a developing multi-team trade discussion.

Does that mean DA/Payne heading out in a multi-team trade?

Bol Bol can't have a two-way contract.

Each NBA team is allowed to offer two two-way contracts per season to players with fewer than four years of NBA experience.

McConnell makes more sense than Payne next to our Big 3 or/and Eric Gordon.

He takes less shots per game than Payne and has an smaller usage. Better defender too.
