Booker who is your centerpiece

Beal who’s washed

And now a raw offensive player in JG

They don't, but gamble on still young Green was the best they could do. Maybe they still believe they can flip Jalen Green, or trade Beal, which by the way, aint happening.

They really need to just blow it up, sucks you do not have your own picks, but at least get someone elses. As of now, they refuse to build for future, so they could tank in the present for another team. They could tank for another while also tanking for themselves at least,

Obviously not a need, but contracts have to match in trades, etc.

They are likely to try and make more moves to balance out the roster.

Suns aren’t done wheeling and dealing, they’ll move out guards and add size.

the suns dont need 3 shooting guards. they didnt trade for green, they traded off KD.

Beal is gonna be hit by the door knob as soon as his contract is up. 2 more years 110 million. lmfao. that guy is a pro at getting checks..

They probably want booker to run the offense. im pretty sure, he did that before.

Because KD pressured them to go to HOU and that was the best they were willing to offer?!

I think they’re set up nice with Booker @ SG and Jalen Green at SF.

They need to dump Beal though.

Jalen isnt even strong enough to guard SGs, he would get murdered trying to play SF lol.

If they are going to gamble on Green, I would rather go for Sheppard, Whitmore, and Landale for better 'fit'.

Suns are in flux. This surely isn't their final roster even if they start the season this way. Getting something back for KD was step one of transitioning their roster into something for the future. JG + Brooks + #10 + picks isn't a bad start given what KD is now.

If they're smart they'll move Booker for as many young assets and 1st rounders as possible. If they're LUCKY, Beal will wave his NTC so he can get bought out elsewhere and find a new team.

They don't. But they had no better offer on a table.

They can't even trade Booker because they don't control their picks for half of a decade.
