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.


Now thats a fair question. Plus the Pelicans do have the draft picks to make it work. Miami only has Herro - would they give him up for Durant

Sooo Mikal/Ayton/picks for KD......

Who's ready for a week's worth of that and to have Flex back in our lives with his "insider" scoop?

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........"

:noway:


How is he a weasel? It's pretty well known the suns were in fact hot for KD and engaging with Brooklyn. He reported that, you can't crucify him for reporting what he heard. This board repost twitter accounts with "multiple sources" and act like its gospel yet here we have a guy willing to put a name/face behind his word (regardless of intentions). When hes wrong hes hung out to dry, when your twitter accounts are wrong you just post the next NBA gossip again the next week and act like they haven't been wrong 100% of the time for years. pathetic.

Shams has spoken, or tweeted - where is that number 4 pick (Josh Jackson?) when you need it? Seriously - what would it take. Crowder Shamet, Cam and Saric plus a FRP

Crazy how the Suns could get Kyrie without giving up picks. I hate that guy, but he’s one skilled player. It would also get us out CP3’s contract. Might be a win-win for both teams.

You can always count on Kyrie to drop a live grenade on his team's lap - and that won't change just because he's in a new uniform. Fantastic player when his head is screwed on right, definitely would elevate our ceiling this year if we did trade for him, but I don't really believe the chatter that we have interest in him. KD on the other hand...

Oh that’s right, you have multiple RealGM accounts and carry conversations with yourself, you probably don’t have time for a twitter account on top of all that.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we traded for Kyrie. He'd make us a much better team.

If Ishbia's ok bringing in Isiah Thomas, what makes you think Kyrie's antics would scare him off? My guess is he just wants to win.

If Kyrie weren't such a doodlechuck, he wouldn't be gettable for cheap. You gotta take what the game gives you!

Would they own his bird rights for the summer - meaning a sign and trade? Not that the Lakers have much

At the same time - he could be the player that puts the team over the top this year. The Suns would be favorites, probably in the West

I find it a bit hard to believe the suns new owner who happens to be Jewish would trade for Kyrie. But I will say Hayes is someone who's actually a decent source for Phoenix rumors.
