2022-23 Season Discussion and Speculation 5 - The KD era begins

[TeamTragic]

Let me be clear. I don't think we should trade Ayton.

As far as Kyrie I don't see Cuban letting him walk.

So after this season, Irving may look to join Durant here! How pissed would Dallas be then IF he left to join a conference rival they clearly despise!! Just to possibly see the level of meltdown from Diva Dallas fans and Doncic nut huggers would be so epic!! The icing on the cake though would be Doncbi*** getting really frustrated and leaving Dallas!.......

Explain how this is done? I suppose if Kyrie says he will leave Dallas, they could take back CP3 and Craig or something to get something out of it.

That's about the only way.

But if we did, it would be awesome from a talent standpoint and we wouldn't drop off the latter half of the decade.

But we'd turn into the Nets and have to deal with Kyrie's shenanigans.

At this point given what it appears we look like 26-29 I'd be happy to take it though.

OR.......................

Dallas wants Ayton to play with Luka, So when it comes to the prospect of Irving telling him he won't resign, They can do a sign n trade swap for Ayton?? But yes, the suns could also look at a similar premise of a Paul/ Irving trade, rather than straight losing him for nothing. Ultimately, It'll be up to Jones to figure out the B's and C's of a potential Irving offseason premise. I would say though that IF the suns truly don't value Ayton as much as they would Irving in the NBA's current climate, and might also seek to Durant's interests as well, then it makes a lot of sense given the Mavs interest in Ayton too! Then the suns would seek a cheaper, more basic center replacement option perhaps?

Yeah, Dallas could demand Ayton or say they won't S&T him to us. So we probably do Ayton for him and a washed McGee.

we'll take Holiday too!

I was thinking about Justin Holiday. Good option.

Gotta imagine Justin Holiday hits the buyout market. He could help some teams.

Bazley was posting near 14 points, 7 rebounds 2 seasons ago at age 20. Sure he had terrible efficiency, but I'll take him.
A little youth doesn't hurt.

He's like a sane Marquese Chriss. I kinda liked Chriss during his rookie year in Phoenix.

damn Clippers guard play just got a whole lot better with Gordon and Bones.

[SunsRback4Good]

I keep hearing the Nuggets were super high on Bones HYland. Why exactly did they want to trade him?

[bwgood77]

I would start Craig when KD is back but before KD is back who do you start? Craig and Saric at 3/4?

I’m hoping Craig is not on this team after today and never again.

I think we are going to have to rely alot on Torrey if we are going all the way- for better or for worse

Craig is solid as long as he doesn't handle the ball. Fastbreaks and passes to Ayton are the worst. He won't handle. Just 3&D. He is solid at that role. Much rather have him than Thybulle.

[Ghost of Kleine]

Or maybe it means a EGordon buyout

If we manage to get Gordon who are we losing?

Saric/ Payne/ 2 2nds most likely?

[matt131]

Kennard to the Grizzlies. Okay...?

[matt131]

hahahaha john wall BACK to the rockets

[SunsRback4Good]

Don't sleep on TJ Warren

True Shooting
Career - .565
This year - .576

Wasn't he a fan favorite like Mikal and Cam at one point?

If somehow, we can have them all available and healthy, we are going to be very difficult to beat. Damn

That is if we make the playoffs.

Warren is a good player that can fill the point hole easily when healthy, but he has been out for two years. We need him to go back to his ancient level.
He can play SF, PF and even SG for us coming off the bench, which could really be a luxury.


PAUL

DURANT
CRAIG

PAYNE

Another one takes the dust and another one…

[WeekapaugGroove]

Must have been some real chemistry issues with Bones/Denver for them to dump him to a rival for 2nds. That's an interesting one.

They get another good shooter to pair up with Bane.

Saric already gone and Gordon to Clippers too.
Also, Don't we have 2 roster spots empty?

[Sunlight]

Nash, Kobe, Metta, P.Gasol, Howard
CP3, Book, Durant, X, Ayton

Who is X? JJ, do your job!

[WeekapaugGroove]

I'm old enough to remember when people made a big deal about Wall going to the clippers

Clips are maybe the only team with more of a health boogeyman than us. But on paper with their trades I think they are at minimum even with us as far as West favorites. Is Bazley actually good on D? Or just potentially good on D? If it's the former that is a great move. Really glad the Dubs didn't get to keep Bey.

[bwgood77]

Not who I wanted from the Thunder

He's athletic and has a better chance of breaking out playing with superstars. At least it's a young body who is cheap and we can keep for awhile.

I definitely like it for what we gave up.
