“Yes, he’s off the trade block,” Carlisle said.

President of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard reiterated that Turner will be staying put, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star tweets.

“One of the things we’ve always believed in is we sign a player to sign a player. We don’t sign a player to trade a player. … We signed Myles to be here,” he said.

Based on how they spent years trying to trade him and never doing it, maybe this is a sign they really are going to trade him.

That's a steep price to pay for PHX.

Well, you just broke my heart

Seriously, how is it not obvious. It’s more about the players you are playing behind then it is about usage. I don’t think many starters in this league would be happy running up and down the court watching Fred chuck. I dare say OG will be far happier in the 3&D role while playing behind someone like Booker.

Are we sure Johnson is worse than Anunoby? Guy shoots mid 40s from 3 from anywhere on the court.

[RaptorNews]

No way we get all those picks from the Suns, particularly so far in the future

I like this deal but would probably be a pick this year and 2025 plus Cam

[HangTime]

I hope saying OG is available, just turns to Fred trade talk, somehow.

[vulture]

this is just pathetic. I guess this guy doesn't think defense counts.

I think a more realistic offer is 2 1st's from the Suns like you said, and us swapping one of our 2nds for one of Milwaukee's 1sts. That way we get 3 1sts still.

This is the guy Suns ownership/GM feeds info into. Seems suns interest is real

That's the thing, some of these advanced stats are showing Cam to be a bigger net positive than OG. There shouldn't be that big of a drop off assuming we can get him clean shots.

No…. He’s just playing media game directly from suns FO

It isn't that

It's more so, Barnes and precious and others occupy the wing spot

It's time to move OG for a bigger role

he is very very very plugged into the Arizona sports scene. consider it a tempering of expectations by the suns organization.

Here's my thing. Are we sure he even needs clean shots? Like, what kind of shooter are we dealing with here because it seems like if you give Johnson the Nick Nurse 35 mpg and empty the clip recipe, is he a 20+ ppg guy?

It seems like he is downplaying his skills to me to lower the asking price. To say that he isn't great at one thing is just a dumb media tactic.

Bringing in Cam will immediately make the Scottie-Siakam pairing less terrible. Just one aspect to it.
