Suns lineup would be:

Lakers:

DLo, Durant, LeBron, AD, Hayes

Why would Phoenix do that?

Does the the salary even match? But don’t stop there, if the Lakers call within the next five minutes, they’d also get the following offer:

Dlo for Devin Booker straight up

You mis-spelt Jaylin.

Phoenix needs to let Booker play carefree as the #1
And put some defense around him with a PG like DLo/Reaves to run plays for Booker & Beal

You could put Vando on Edwards to help slow him down
Lakers get the Big 3 to have a punchers chance vs the Nuggets

Thats not nearly enough from LA. Reaves isnt the centerpiece player of a trade to acquire the talent of a Durant. Vando didnt do anything this year and had some injuries. I expect the Lakers to try to acquire a 3rd all star in the summer but it wont be Durant. I think Durant is back in Phoenix next year.

Simple equation.

Booker to Nets for all picks back plus more picks.

KD to highest bidder.

Ride out Beal negative contract.

Try again after tanking.

Did you mean to say, 'sell KD to someone who is high'?

It will most likely be Trae Young or Donovan Mitchell

This man just has a bad taste in teammates.

He could have went anywhere yet he chose to team up with another scorer. Dude should have had 2 options play with Embiid or Jokic.

He's obsessed with scoring guards for some reason.

It might make sense for the Wolves if they lose due to late game execution. Same with the Grizzlies with their gang back next year. The Bucks might be crazy enough to do so.

He could've easily played with LeBron after the Warriors stint in Los Angeles. But he decided to team up with Kyrie instead lmao

He said in a interview he always wanted to compete vs LeBron. I don't think he was ever close enough to want to join LeBron.

Aka the NBA paid him to never join him because he would've easily caught MJ in rings with Durant.

Booker to Brooklyn to get all their picks + something extra back. Durant to Philly, so they can make a last run with an ageing KD and Embiid.

Then hope Beal asks out at the trade deadline after maybe increasing his trade value and tank hard for Flagg.

I really want to see Curry and Booker together
Draymond/Klay/Kuminga for Booker

Splash Bros 2.0

idk what the Suns can do, whatever they decide has to create a contender needs to include Bradley Beal on that team...which probably should be traded if he didnt have a NTC. team needs playmaking and some consistent non-ball dominate role players.

SweaterBae · Post #77 » by **SweaterBae** » Wed Apr 24, 2024 5:14 am

It would take some courage, but yes. Sell em all.

So the Warriors trade their key players for Booker.

Curry
Booker
?

Yeah that team will be in the lottery no depth and a Booker ankle sprain away from being the worst team in the NBA.

You can't sell high on KD.

Booker you can.
