I think if we added Kuminga, Wiggins, Looney and some picks for him we would be a better team, have more depth, etc.

That is just me. If we can do that and Beal for Butler. Get Nurkic for something lol We are going to be good and fun to watch again. Imagine that

Jones / Morris
Booker / Allen
Butler / Dunn
Wiggins / Kuminga
Looney / Richards


10000%%

Durant seems to like to just hoop and make a lot of money, life is good. If he wins a title, thats a bonus. Booker seems to be a bit of the same way.

Bickley said it -- Booker and Durant worked for the Olympic team as they don't have to be "THE GUY" - they can just sit in the background, no pressure.

I am still not sold on Beal for Butler - but ask me how many picks it costs because if you can use Durant to move Beal - that might make sense to take on Butler. That is the ONLY way I would want to take on Butler.

As for your list - if the Suns need to move Jones, Morris, Allen - don't care. Nurkic has to go

Beal has been a solid pro - he has become 6th man, just plays, no bad talk
Again, blame Ishbia - -it was in the contract

They probably don't do him dirty and move him during the game. But I don't think he's playing today. Team is holding him out....

Stop this fcking madness Ishbia you dumb btch and sell the roster (and the team too preferably).


As opposed to the current roster with Bradley Beal tying his shoes in the middle of the game?

Ishbia is not at fault for willing to pay money and improve the current roster by any means necessary.

Championship teams need at least 1 dog. We currently have zero dogs. Jimmy is a dog. I think Booker, Butler and KD is definitely a contender especially considering we make other moves for rebounding.

The only reason I would want Beal traded is because he would face the wrath of the fans and its not deserved.

Best thing the Suns can do is take the Warriors offer for Durant. Talk to Booker - see where he is this summer and if the Rockets or Pistons call--- trade him

What the Suns fans need to realize, is that we arent contenders and wont win a championship this year.

We know this already but giving up KD for hot garbage is not an option.

We won't get hot garbage, I bet we get Kuminga, Wiggins, Schroder and firsts for Durant!
Then Allen for Goga
Nurkic for anything

I would bet that team is better than what we have on the court now.

Jones / Schroder
Booker / Beal
Kuminga / Dunn
Wiggins / Dunn
Goga / Richards

Letsssssss gooooooooo I would love to watch that team hustle
