2022-23 Season Discussion and Speculation 4 - Trade season continues - No player trade restrictions

Pretty obvious KD really wants the Suns.. if only he was a free agent. We finally have a star player that wants us and we can’t acquire him. It’s pretty damn frustrating. Also frustrating he is at the end of his career.

KD is great but he is not going to age like Lebron, it will be more like CP3 one day it's just going to be gone, skinny tall dude with a long history of injuries.

Both trades leave a gaping hole at C, not a big deal now, but will be huge come playoffs...

Am I delusional thinking Bizzy and Jock can handle the C duties?

[KLEON]

At this point I think the Suns should just wait to see who gets bought out. Some of the players we're interested in I think are pointless or either will gut our roster. Just trade Jae for something and again wait for the buy out

Other than Jokic I'm not really that afraid of any of the other Cs in the West playoffs. And even Denver I don't mind going small and making Jocic chase on the perimeter and try to score 50? I think they would be pretty much fine with a combo of Biz/Jock/small ball.

To me it's really more Philly and Milwaukee that Ayton would be missed against the most. But Embiid makes him his bitch every time they play so not sure how much he even helps there either.

The Suns should do both
1) use their expirings, maybe a FRP pick to get a solid player

2) use their TPMLE to get a player that was bought out

Based on the possible cost to get Durant - I think you are going to have much less depth on your roster. And your future is gone. Its this year or never. Plus he is also hurt. SAw some stat about how the Suns are playing with their starting five of DA, Book, CP3, Bridges and Cam J -- the answer: damn good. Like best in the league good

Neither of those guys holds up in a series against, Adam's, valencinus, Joker, Davis, etc... I regular season game sure a playoff series not a chance.

Exactly my point regarding my post from a couple days ago. And if JJ is smart, we get the best playing talent for Crowder. This season is likely last reasonable chance with this starting group for a finals run...

We have the best starting 5 in the league, when healthy. Paul maybe old, but he's been the catalyst these past couple of seasons. That said, he's potentially the least vital piece of those 5 going forward. We get a stud PG, and get healthy at the right time?? The Sun's become the LAST team anyone wants to meet in the playoffs.

I'd try to run those dudes off the floor. I would welcome them to try and force feed the post and get out of their natural o.

We've seen championships won this way. Last year Andrew Wiggins lead the warriors rebounding in the finals.

Exactly why we should pass on him and should have went all in on Kyrie but too late now.

We don't have an Andrew Wiggins that rebounds and defends bigger players at his level not even close

thanks for posting these statistics

Is why I am focused on Russell. He is shooting pretty well from three this year, FG % around 46% I believe, good FT shooter; would take the load off CP3. Can play next to either guard. Wouldn't gut your roster or draft picks - probably.

Get the picks from Crowder, throw in the Suns own FRP and this would be a tough team

Yeah, that was a great find from GoK! Thanks for posting that, man!

And yeah Russell would be a good get. Payne has definitely looked better this season than last (except for FT%--not sure what's going on there, but he does get a lot of time from the stripe, so not that big of deal, I guess...), but regardless, I don't think Payne's the future.

The Dallas Mavericks are interested in acquiring Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton. Christian Wood & Tim Hardaway Jr. have been in trade talks.

No way we do that. I hope not.

If they send us both Dallas picks that get rerouted to nets for KD and this let’s us keep Mikal, I would be interested

[Azsports77]

F Dallas the New owner better not help a rival and be that stupid which I doubt Matt the Suns new owner is .

[Saberestar]

Nets are finalizing trade to send forward Kessler Edwards and cash to the Kings, sources tell ESPN. The Nets save a total of $8M in salary and luxury tax and open up a roster spot. Edwards still has to approve trade because he has a "one-year Bird Rights restriction" in his deal.
