What a storyline lol

I think I saw that she is dating Michael Jordan's son, Marcus now. Lol.

Edit: I should keep reading a full thread before I reply to something from 3 pages back. Lol. Saw that this was already mentioned.

Left field trade...

Who says no?

Spoiler:

Suns get -
Damian Lillard
Jerami Grant

Heat get -
Chris Paul
Jae Crowder
Landry Shamet

Blazers get -
Mikal Bridges
Kyle Lowry
Duncan Robinson
Nikola Jovic
Suns 2024, 2026, 2028 1st all unprotected. Pick swaps in 2025, 2027
Heat 2023 1st


I had a less-realistic trade where the Suns trade Cam Johnson, Dario instead of Bridges.

Watch JJ shock all of you and acquire Jerami Grant

That would be making a move just to make a move.

Why would you look at it like that? Grant would clearly an elite multi positional defensive fit and a 20 point scoring wing/forward. He'd also give us an elite defensive duo alongside of Bridges, allow us to move Johnson back to the bench in a super 6th man role this season to bolster scoring off our bench, AND he'd represent a fairly low cost free test drive with us not having to commit significant salary to him IF we don't like what he'd add! He'd obviously be much more than just a "move to make a move" all things considered I'd think??

Cmon JJ, you don't want to draft people, so just pretend Ainge is a stripper and draft picks are dollar bills and get Markannen

Or maybe the Wolves want to trade Towns for say a protected 1st and Crowder and Saric?

Cmon JJ, you don't want to draft people, so just pretend Ainge is a stripper and draft picks are dollar bills and get Markannen

Wait, Markannen is available?

[Desertfox]

It's Ainge, I'm sure everyone is available for picks

[Mulhollanddrive]

Think we're back in Durant or bust mode

[collidingNeurons]

I've read multiple times lately that everyone on Utah was available but Kessler, Agbaji and Markannen

It’s crazy when fans who don’t manage NBA teams for a living actually know more than NBA team managers who do the job for a living.

It was a consensus among most fans that we needed a trade for a defensive backup big man two years. Of course the Bucks series exposed that.

It was a consensus among most fans last year that we needed to trade for a secondary ball handler/shot creator. Of course the Mavs series exposed that.

It’s not good when fans are better at identifying weaknesses on the team than the people who get paid several millions and have more resources and time allocated to figure out things like this.

These last few trades is giving me the impression we're over-valuing other assets. Not saying JJ is as well but just based on what we have discussed on here.

With Poeltle going to Toronto and probably keeping FVV, Siakam and OG now, not sure which trading partners are left. Chicago? I’ll gladly take Alex Caruso but nothing else really makes sense. Will we just wait for the buyout market?

Fans also have zero consequences of making up some random trade. GoK comes up with a trade every hr with zero consequences, zero financial implications and zero impact to anything in real life.

What I'm saying is, it cost a fan literally nothing to come up with 1000 trades. A GM can't keep calling Team B's GM with random trades throughout the day because real life professional relationships is a factor. Like you can say yeah fans have been calling for this trade and that trade to address this and that weakness and we would have a perfect team now but of those handful of pretty good and realistic trades, there's another thousand BS trade ideas that will guarantee some GM's won't ever deal with us again.

Not saying you're wrong in that we can identify weaknesses and what we need to address it but backseat GM'ing is easy. It's easy to criticise when you have no real skin in the game and "RealGM" is your hobby not your day job
