Why why why are the Suns linked with Kyrie again?

You locked it before I had a chance to respond to a Qwigglez post, so I'll do it here. I think that between Harden and KY the obvious choice for many different reasons is Harden. I was absolutely shocked he said that, hopefully he'll read this and respond.
Kyrie is a cancer and has destroyed 3 teams and counting in his wake. He's plays less than Harden-even eith the strip club stuff
In the meantime though, could you make a poll of who posters would rather have: Harden or Kyrie? Unless you think it's too late and we'll know 1 way or the other by this time trmw....

Harden makes more sense I think over Kyrie because he is probably a better facilitator. It does seem like Harden is going to the Clippers
I personally would rather have neither and keep Ayton if those are the choices: Ayton, Harden or Kyrie.

1 Dragan Bender please.
Make this happen. You know how umm...excited I get for big men who can dribble the ball. He would also fit our physical profile. But maybe he will not be ready by the new season from his ACL tear last year.
Glad Payne is guaranteed.
I don't want either of Harden or Kyrie, unless Kyrie takes the minimum. Really hate the thought of giving up our starting center for another small guard.

It has to be Irving using the Suns to get more from the Mavs. If Irving leaves, Luka will be on a phone to Cuban.
As for the Suns - I think they have a solid core with Beal, Durant and Booker. I am not sure how much more Irving would add compared to what they lose in Ayton (or a trade of Ayton for 2 to 3 core role players).

You guys need to drop the Bender nonsense. He was 1 of the worst picks in Suns history. He's doing "OK" in some backwater Euro league......who cares?
Onto players that matter, if Harden does get moved to LAC I think that means that we can get Russ for minimum as no one besides us would be remotely interested in acquiring him.
It has to be either us or LAC for him. If it was Houston, they can sign him outright and have no reason to offer the Sixers anything to trade. Their owner hates Morey and would relish sticking it to him like that.

I do think had the Beal trade not happened CP would have been traded for Harden.

Yeah I think Rus would rather retire or go to China than play for Vogel.bwoolf2 wrote:Slim Charless wrote:sunskerr wrote:1 Dragan Bender please.

If, when Harden is traded, do you think the Blazers will call the Sixers about Embiid?

Vogel is a "yes man" and he will do what he needs to in order to keep his players happy. If KD/Beal who both have spoke well of Russell recently want him and Booker backs that......then it doesn't matter what Vogel thinks. He'll do it. Plus alot of that was Lebron being Lebron and blaming ppl for stuff.

I thought you were trolling when I originally brought him up. Perhaps if enough of us talk about him, then James Jones or other scouts will take a look at him and give him a call

But yeah... I'd take him.

Twitter randoms think we have Irving for the minimum
