This is the correct answer. Durant is the 1 getting moved if anyone is. Probably to OKC or NYK if I had to guess.

You are a bad person.

Equal to some of the folks that occupy both American prisons and prisons that are around the world.

I'm not saying the government should kick in your front door and jail you for posting this....but I'm not NOT saying it either.



I am going to suggest after your lengthy timeout you re-consider how you participate here. This is absolutely not going to be tolerated. Your inability to handle trade suggestions with any maturity at all reflects poorly only on you.


It was a joke. I was gonna use the green font but I assumed that it was plainly obvious that my wildly over the top response would make it known.

I do not think that a trade suggestion on RealGM deserves prison time or is equal to someone commenting murder.

Figured everyone reading that would understand. It's called:

"tongue-in-cheek" or satire.

I called my lawyer. He said I can’t go to jail for trade suggestions.
I was scared for a second.

Well, it WAS a very, very bad trade suggestion so maybe not jail time. But I'd think lowering your credit score by 30-50 points would be warranted.

Actually you can. But, only if you don’t have the Lakers getting something for next to nothing. Get a better lawyer.
Also, really thought Slim’s post was hilarious.

Thank you!

I was trying to make it as over the top as possible. I kept editing it and adding on stuff to drive the point home and go overboard on the whole thing lol.

Before you laugh you have to factor health. Bridges is a at the top of the league in minutes played per game. Ingram is gonna miss at least 20 games a season


The Pelicans would not trade Ingram for Bridges. If you are going to take into account health, then you need to take into account character: BI has played more games than Bridges over the last 3 seasons. Bridges is one arrest away from being out of the league. Bridges' character issues are riskier than Ingram's injury issues.

Suns need a lot more here, mostly from Charlotte but some from Pelicans too.

Charlotte really has no place in this trade.

and yet Charlotte are the ones paying for Booker?

If Phoenix did weirdly want that package, why wouldn't Charlotte take Booker for themselves???

Putting I̶n̶g̶r̶a̶m̶ Booker with Ball and Miller and potential top 5 pick would be a major coupe

I'd offer the top 5 pick this year as well if it thought Phoenix would consider it. (But they wouldn't)

Ingram doesn't excite me for Charlotte at all.

Had the exact same reaction. Trade framework is generally pretty brutal for PHX, but if we're giving all the assets necessary to get Booker then we'll take him for ourselves please and thank you.
