Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

We aren't winning this year, too much turnover already there hasn't been a single example in nba history of a trade this big mid season and a team winning a championship.

We can't trade our picks against the cba, we only have 2nd rounders to trade

I know you were kidding but we have no 1st rounders to trade

How truly Ironic would it be if the Grizz traded for Bridges only to have him back in the western conference, And then he helped the Grizz stomp us even with Durant???

Has a player of KD's caliber been traded mid-season ever in the history of the league?

Why? KD is one of the best grab and go players in NBA history.

'Ishbia’s initial hope was to keep Bridges out of the trade, but that was a non-starter for the Nets.

Yeah, everybody`s hope was to keep Bridges, but...
Anyway, I am somehow in the middle and cannot decide yet if the trade will improve us significantly as a team unit, or if the lack of defense will lead to other teams crushing us.

Changes had to be made and Ishbia showed the fans he has the balls to risk. Let's hope the risk will bring the Suns the first and quite needed title.
