I'm generally not a fan of mock trades online yet this one makes a lot of sense for everyone involved.

The Suns would be idiots to ever refuse that but alas, it would NEVER be offered.
Second apron says no to Wallace. And the Knicks aren't giving up Bridges. I doubt they give up Towns, either.

Curious as to what the Knicks offer would be in a KD trade if you doubt they give up Towns. Are you thinking OG & Mitchell Robinson?

We have very little leverage. All I am hearing is we keep dropping our asking price. Ishbia is the biggest idiot in the NBA ownership circle, dude has no idea what he is doing and yet he is filling our front office with yes men. Meanwhile, he keeps having PR put out that he isn't meddlesome and lets people do their jobs. Nobody is buying it. Guy has an ego the size of Trump damn near. No idea what we did to deserve Sarver and THEN Ishbia but sure would have been nice to get a reasonably competent owner this time.

I don't think the Knicks are the team with which a trade is made. If it is, Towns is the more likely to be moved over either of Bridges or Anunoby.

HOU sends brooks, reeds sheppard, cam whitemore, 2025 phx pick, 2027 phx pick for KD


of course houston or okc could beat that. the question is why would they want to? 3 fringe starter/6man level players + picks is what phx gave up for a KD 3 years ago and it was a huge overpay back then. he's 3 years older now. I wouldn't even do that deal for Booker, much less KD

calling bridges fringe starter is an insult.
he played a key role with his defense in the finals run and was runner up for defensive player of the year.
crazy

That was then. This is now.

He has been abysmal since leaving Phoenix.
