I'm glad it's a future 1st that is mostly protected. Now let's see what shakes loose and what else we are grabbing to beefin' this roster.

High Risk, High Reward. I just hope cp3 can stay healthy and get Ayton to play to his full potential. LETS GO!

Yup that's perfectly acceptable. Happy this FO has the forsite to put the just in case protections on this.
Let's **** go, add more this week and try to win some damn games this year.
The three man game with Paul Ayton and Booker with bridges and Cam in tbe corners is going to be deadly.

Going to be exciting year. FA and draft will be critical.

That's not really true. You just have to structure the trades with other qualiers that make it pass the stepien rule. Happens all the time. The suns ran into that with one of those Miami picks.darmani wrote:
This is bad. Due to protections we don't have any future 1st round picks to trade until 2027.

Re: Phoenix Suns acquire Chris Paul
Great move guys. Thank you for taking him from Philly/Milwaukee too lol I was worried they'd get him.
Booker should be very happy with this

Defense sucks but he can shoot and manages to finish a lot of horrible looking shots.

Wording in the tweet says "has traded..." does that mean it's getting done now before free agency?

He was an okay player for OKC. Had moments when he really helped our 2nd unit out. Pretty good athlete. I think his main problem is he needs to play a little more within himself but he did a better job of that this last year than the year before.

We will definitely wait to finalize the trade until after free agency. We didn't trade our draft pick so really there is no rush to make it official just yet...
*mods feel free to change the poll, I already screenshotted the last one.

Have to wonder if Gallo comes in given his connections with Book and CP3

This statement seems more rooted in your desires than it does in fact. While i agree with your desire, that doesn't necessarily make it reality lol

Is Lecque anything worth getting excited about?

Good trade for both teams in my opinion. Enjoy CP3! I used to hate him before he joined OKC but he's a monster and he helped our young guys so much.

He's a project. Exciting player but far far far from NBA ready
