I believe the Isaiah Thomas he is hiring is the Detroit Piston not the one that played for the Suns .

I don’t think the Lakers will get him there will be other teams he has been playing really well lately and the Lakers don’t have much . I get that Irving has a history of not being happy but unless your a team that has a title can you really afford to find out that a Lakers team adds him and makes the finals ? No way can you sit there and let that happen f the lakers lol.

I think if Kyrie is moved to the Lakers -- it will involve the Hornets or Jazz as well

Just what young players would Brooklyn want form Utah so Ainge clears more of his books

If Kyrie gets traded Durant will ask to be traded as well lol and a thing new owners in the NBA tend to do is make a big splash I could see the Suns trading for Kevin Durant but this time we won’t have to give up the crazy amt that was asked in the summer because the Nets will want this done quickly .

Kyrie's selfishness is so blatant and shameless I almost have to respect it. Dudes willing to throw a grenade into a contending team because he didn't get the exact extension he wants. Any team who trades for him is going to get what they deserve when he creates some mess there.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

I tend to agree with that. All depends on if Ayton agrees to a deal

Maybe its a three team deal - would he prefer Atlanta and John Collins goes to the Nets perhaps

Maybe Ayton would prefer Toronto so who goes to the Nets - Nets do have Claxton

Suns: Durant

Nets: Collins, Crowder Cam J and picks

Hawks: Ayton and Saric

Lmao.

I KNEW it. That weasel is happy he gets to pretend to be relevant again. He's been MIA after his nonsense this summer.

Ugh...if KD isn't traded next week we're gonna have to hear/see him from now till the summer. "My sources tell me........"

It doesn't need to include Mikal. DA, Payne, some draft picks. Maybe CamJ.


That wasn't enough in the summer and that when he made a trade demand and before he had an MVP like season.

Why do you think it's enough now?

The Suns couldn't trade Ayton to the Nets over the summer - they were hard capped. That deal was never reality.

Now its different. Plus, would the Nets even want Ayton - with Claxton.

I think a multi-team deal -- Ayton goes to Toronto or Hawks maybe

Let me rephrase: why do you think this happen without Mikal being involved? Why isn't Miami Memphis or the Pels beating that....which they can.

Ingram or Desmond Bane plus picks tops any non Mikal package.

I will say this is awesome if we're trying to get someone from Toronto. Their strangle hold on this trade deadline may have ended today as teams will all wonder about getting KD.

If we want Siakam or OG....the price went down imo.

Return to Phoenix Suns
