2023-24 Season Discussion and Speculation 3 - Post Free Agency Discussion

[sunsbum]

Bro I'm like Nostradamus around here.

I tried to tell you unbelievers about Moronty and how dumb he was, about how hes getting fired, and about how either Mikal or Ayton would be traded by the time the 2023 season kicked off. Much like history's other geniuses, I'm ignored by my contemporaries-you guys.

Still correct on almost everything I post. Stay tuned for my future predictions on our Suns.

Wow, you called DA or Bridges would go out in a KD trade. So bold, very prediction. You also said flex didn't know anything when he's the one that called it from day 1, so are you're taking credit for a guy you totally discredited?

1) Flex didn't "call" anything of the sort, he certainly never mentioned Mikal by name. He was, and is a goof.

2) I said "specifically" that either Mikal or Ayton would be gone by opening day. Now, I personally thought it would be in a Siakam trade but I guess KD is a good swerve on that.

3) I've been right far more often then I'm wrong these past cpl years. I'll be right again when they trade Ayton. You hate him so you'll have to balance your happiness that he's gone with the sight of me being correct- yet again.

Edit:

4) I also called Sarver being forced to sell the team after his racist and sexist nonsense.

What are you talking about lol. Flex was the first one to call the KD trade to Phx and it doesn't take Nostradamus to figure out whose going out for KD I don't hate DA, I dislike watching him play low effort basketball for my favorite team. And actually he did use Mikals name, he said the suns are not including him in a trade for KD which they didn't until Ishbia showed up.

At this point, I don't know if sunsfan101 is a Slim burner account or the other way around given they both called themselves geniuses. Or perhaps this board is just so incredibly fortunate that we have not one but two genius posters.

Three sir

4. Mom always used to tell me i was his litte genius.

He also said that the Suns would be trading for SGA.....remind again when did that one happen? We could certainly use him on our team

Flexx is like Gambo. They just say 100 different scenarios and if one sticks they are like see, i was right!

[Fo-Real]

The Harden situation getting out of control of the Sixers!! The man publicly called out the GM and swore not to play for them. What the hell are they gonna do??

It be great for fans if a player does/says this then his contract can be voided. Then the player can sign to wherever he wants and the team gets the cap space back. Especially if the player just reupped for major bucks. If where the player wants to go only has limited cap space then oh well.

[KdoubleDees23]

I would trade Harden to the best deal possible if I am the GM. Harden now has no control on where he goes.

I can see the following going after him

Bulls
Spurs
Knicks
Toronto

or just get rid of Harden for Lillard lol

Harden, Tucker for Lillard

[enigmatics]

Agreed this is getting too much when some fans are making unfounded assumptions based on who he follows or doesn't follow on social media. These guys are around each other all the time during the season so it wouldn't be unreasonable to get some distance or space outside of team activities.

It's really not unfounded anymore.

His generation is constantly dropping tea leaves and sending low key or passive aggressive messages via SM thru likes, taking pictures down, removing team related things off their profiles, etc etc

Philly would never do that. Harden to the Clips for Kawhi.

There should be no way Clippers wanna pay Kawhi all that money. Philly should take that risk and hope that Kawhi stays healthy as him and Embiid can win it all.

The are pretty different. Flex would be more than happy to entertain any and all rumors because it fits into his MO of being super vague and enthusiastic but fairly light on detail which if one of the many rumors he entertains becomes true, he can take credit for it. Whereas Gambo is a straight grim reaper of rumors and would rather shut them down emphatically than play the Flex game. Flex's style is way more throw crap on the wall and wait until one sticks and claim credit whereas Gambo isn't even throwing them

Obviously it was all hypothetical, but this is one of the big reasons why I said I would've preferred Dame over Harden even though Harden is the more natural fit on a team that is lacking elite level playmaking. Harden and Morey were supposed to be two peas in a pod and Morey has his own issues as a GM but this is the 2nd time in a few years Harden has asked out of an organisation he forced his way to.

Trade him for DA

I'd rather keep DA. We'll have far too many ball handlers and we're not gonna be maximising KD, Book and Beal's abilities by adding another ball dominant player. Also I would HATE to have to deal with Harden's new deal at the end of the season. With the rising salary cap and increasing number of $50-$60m players, DA could still become an asset at some point.

[bwgood77]

I would not want Harden on my team. He's getting worse and seems very full of himself. He's not a winner. He chokes in big games. Once Paul went down against GS up 3-2 he just completely choked. Did the same thing in Philly. Doesn't seem like he has much of a work ethic or huge will to win at this point. He just wants to party and sail into the sunset. As far as the Clips, I can see it hard not going for him if they are giving up role players, and at least you have a killer like Kawhi if he's healthy, but I still wouldn't have a good feeling about things in the playoffs with Harden on my team.

I wouldn’t trade DA for harden either.

Cuba also has as many NBA players as I have in millions of dollars, zero.

That is not something unique to Millenials, Elon Musk is a Gen Z middle aged edgelord that does all that and more and the man is 52 years old.
