Irving will burn your franchise to the ground. I understand that your owner is being aggressive and more power to him, but signing Kyrie is like basically drinking a glass of cyanide.

I’d take my chances.

But no way he agrees to come here on a minimum deal.

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.


Russ and Vogel didn't get along in LA don't see that happening
Yeah I think Rus would rather retire or go to China than play for Vogel.

and with KD who said "He couldn't win with those cats" while referring to his Thunder teammates after he bolted for GS.

Would have to be a minimum level deal and they truly cannot talk until tomorrow. But lets see where this goes

I actually want to meet with him.....MEET is the key word. Its in our best interest to bluff Cuban into giving KY a 250 million dollar deal. Let the Mavs destroy their cap for Kanceryie. Step 2 in Luka asking out.

The Suns are not going to meet with Kyrie Irving. This is absurd!

I am positive some media members are reading this board. I think I was about 4 years early on the Ayton "no handles" train and certainly we on this board were talking about trading Ayton for depth before the rest of the Suns online sphere.

Blah.

If we get a G-league team, then fine he can come back. I mean those numbers don't impress me much. Wasn't Luka over there-at age 16 and doing twice as good?

We know Bender sucks and couldn't catch on with multiple teams. But let's waste a roster spot for him. Plus, didn't you just say he tore his ACL???

G-League Suns team. That's it.

Harden still shows up the next day despite what he does in his off time. What Kyrie does in his off time keeps him off the court at times.

Why aren't we trying for Giannis or Jokic? Doesn't seem like Ishbia wants to contend at all.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Must've missed it but Baz didn't get the QO extended to him, which is as expected.
