That's more than I thought the Suns would get for a 37 year old looking for a big two year extension.

Really thought our reported package was better but whatever. Best of luck to KD except when he plays us.

Absolute homerun for Houston, happy for their fanbase.

They got rid of a negative contract/player in Green and a head case in Brooks and a pick they don’t need for a top-20 player. Regardless of age, this is a really good deal for the now and the future.

I gotta believe they just don’t believe in green and decided they might as well give it a shot with KD

The Suns continue to embarrass themselves and show how incompetent their front office is.
They really need to knock #10 out of the park or have a follow up trade in the works.

Kd is gonna be 37, and needs a new contract... People please consider when factoring in value.

So now instead of two SGs and a SF/PF, the Suns best players are three SGs??
