Dark horse Bucks out on Jimmy now I would assume, middletons livid I bet lol

Wiz are willing to play ball. Would be nice for us to get creative with them and ditch Rozier for Brogden.

I am not ruling out KD I think it is far more likely that we end up with him than Golden State.

Jimmy, Niko, 1st round pick

If KD is being shopped it is because he is telling the Suns get rid of Beal and get somebody else in or move me. At this juncture of his career KD just needs to be a scorer he does not need to be playing 36/37 minutes a night either like he is now. Let him play a nice 30ish a night during the regular season and reduce his defensive responsibilities. Playing the majority of his minutes with Bam/Ware allows him to funnel more and preserve himself for the offensive end. KD even at his age I think could reach career highs in efficiency with SPO. If he has any sway in that front office this is likely the outcome.

That picture is hilarious. Even Dame and Giannis look pissed, like Kuz froze them out and bricked a 3 with 20 seconds left on the clock.

Oh basketball gods, please give us KD.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

WHERES WATCHOUT WHEN WE NEED HIM MOST?!?!?!

I don’t want to see you coming in here piggybacking after the deal goes down, give us the juice NOW

[DayofMourning]

28 hours till we bring back our franchise legend.

[Hoops3355]

If Jovic and Ware are on the table, I'd rather send Durant to you guys. You'd still have J³, Herro and Bam.

Again they aren't.

Then it has to be Wiggins coming here for Butler-if you guys are still involved of course.

Also, and this is of course from a Suns fan vantage but I think Riley would move both of those kids you guys have if it means you jump up to Boston/NYC levels in the east. Which Durant would do for you. JMO....

I get what you are saying but it's not close in terms of value (Buter and 3 very good assets) and KD doesn't move the needle without Ware and Jovic especially given the bit decline in his game (I watch you guys on league pass). KD price imo is Butler's value plus 1 assets and it's not gonna be a great asset given KD controls the leverage here you either move him now or come summer. You guys are kinda cooked thanks to the stupid Beal trade.

Vincent?

I think this is just bait (but after the Luka trade and possibly KD being shopped who knows) but it's true.

I disagree.

Durants value-for a straight deal to Miami has to include Jovic and all the picks or Jovic and Ware. That's including Jimmy of course, who as we both know isn't remotely as good as player as Durant...and that's taking into account Jimmy being younger.

Durant doesn't control anything about where he goes. In a world where the Mavs can blindside Luka in the middle of the night with a trade, the days of teams getting approval from players has ended.

Beal and Lebron have NTCs. They're the only ones in the league who control where they go. Period.

lol kuz wow

If KD is traded its to the highest bidder, and teams will bid for him and a good playoff push.

Unless this is one of those crazy conspiracy theories where now the Suns want to destroy the fan base to move to Las Vegas first

Panda says it’s not happening.

Sad panda.

[BlueHeat]

I do not want KD.

Then we pass. You want Butler, great. Make us a deal we like. We do not need to be buyers… we are selling to the highest bidder. You seem to be confused and trying to extort us for an old snake?

Actually made me laugh lmfaooo

KD is only under contract for 1 more year, he has more than 1 good year left in him. It's almost like renting him at this time unless you think he'll extend with them, Phoenix thinks he's leaving Phoenix if they couldn't get Butler.
