Bridges, Crowder and picks? Saves us some money too.
Yeah I don’t know what Riley is doing, bro.
We pull off this deal, secretly tank rest of the year and hope for Wemby or Scoot. And then we are right back in contention for the ship.
It sure sounds nice.
If you tell me we could trade Butler for Bridges and Weby/Scoot, I'd be all over it.
I love the draft and it's my biggest criticism of our org. We have snubbed our noses at it for decades. In my eyes it's as realistic as trying to dump some rings on a table for every free agent out there.
Bridges for example. We traded our pick that year which was ultimately used to acquire Bridges. Would be nice to have that one back.
I agree DoM. But I guess it’s the price to pay for having Riley at the helm.
Getting Bridges would be good, but I’d not touch Crowder, and use the idea that he and Jimmy are tight as part of the sweetener for the Suns. It’s a possibility that with Jimmy onboard Jae walks back his rhetoric - new ownership, friend from college, new player leadership
That would mean trying to get Saric as the contract ballast, and hope they take the $7m hit in extra tax. With that level of savings we’d have little chance of getting a pick, but there’s no harm in asking
The thing about tanking for Wemby/Scoot is that after this run we’re 6.5 games out from bottom 4, and between us and that spot is Magic, Lakers, Thunder, Utah and Raptors who all have varying degrees of potential for sucking naturally and/or tanking. We’re now better aiming for playing 7-3 ball the rest of the way and finishing as a 50-win team.
