KD Traded for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, #10 & 5 2nds

[Sunlight]

The Phoenix Suns turned 4 unprotected firsts, 1 unprotected swap, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson & Jae Crowder into...Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in this year's draft and 5 seconds. The dumb owner at full force

Don't forget turned Ayton and Toumani to Grayson Allen and Nick Richards.

Suns sold Ayton and Toumani for the worst price imaginable and now sold KD for 70 cents to the dollar.

All this because the owner overestimated Booker's level as a player when building team around him. And now the same mistake is being repeated.

[thamadkant]

Jalen Green is former Pick 2 and has talent, but he needs the proper fit and role to reach his potential. Being Booker's shadow and Beal nipping on his heels off the bench, he may not react well.


Personally, now with Green and Beal.... I would shop Booker. Ring back Spurs and offer Booker for Pick 2 OR Castle, 5 first rounders, Barnes and Sochan.

[bigfoot]

So the Suns are sitting on these picks this draft ... 10, 29, 53, and 59?

[TeamTragic]

Maybe we trade up in this "weak" draft.

10, 29, 52 and 59.

[NapoleonII]

Maybe we could trade 29 / 52 / 59 for a 19 or 20th pick.

Brooks does fit next to Booker - so thats good

Green is the best pure player out of the group of Billingham, Jacquez, VAssell - -granted, the problem is Beal and Booker on the roster
But you don't turn down the talent at this point
STill need to figure out Royce and Allen

Green is definitely talented and I actually think his contract is on par to what he brings. His biggest knock is he thinks he's Kobe Bryant. Well Suns also have a player who thinks they're Kobe Bryant.

Green needs to play smarter and once he does he is a positive asset.

But that doesn't solve the Suns problem of having 150M on Shooting Guards and no other position really stacks up.

People here putting Nick Richards as starting center without laughing loud or crying... is delusional. He is awful.

As always, the core issue with this roster comes down to having 50+ mil wrapped up in Beal lol

[Rebound Mound]

Brooks is a flopping scumbag. Get rid of him.

Brooks is tough as nails and will add meanness to this team. Him and Dunn are our 3&4 I'm guessing

I like Dillon Brooks next to Booker

And if the young players are Dillingham, Jacquz, Vassell, or Jalen Green --- Green is probably the best player

The Suns just need to accumulate talent

Especially, inside their premises...

My first impression of the trade...we needed to get at least one unprotected FRP for KD. ****.

Dillon Brooks is a key addition. The rumor was Jalen Green + filler + 10th. That wasn't acceptable at all.

Jock Landale and Aaron Holiday next to Jalen Green and #10 would have been terrible, not acceptable.

We got Dillon Brooks and 5 2nds...so I would say that it's a DECENT package for KD, but probably I value Brooks and Green higher than most fans.

Dillon Brooks is gonna give us exactly what we needed...defense, grit and tough mentality and he is on pretty fair contract.

'And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Phoenix. They had banished the awful Kevin Durant forever... because he was haunted. Now, let's all celebrate... with a cool glass of Dillon Brooks.'

Booker is 29. He's not returning that kind of package, not from the Spurs anyway. You need to find a team who is closer to a title, that wants to go all in. Plus your FO is obviously going to extend Booker, and try to win next season.

Ironically Dillon Brooks was the type of player missing last 2 seasons. He would have started fights that rallies his team. He would also tell players to pick it up or go home. Suns need a-hole players who tell it like it is.

Green is 23 year old! We need him for future with age! I would keep him and hope he turns the corner ! Guy hustles, plays a lot, and can learn from Booker

Get rid of beal with picks and pick up Westbrook for vet minimum

[KdoubleDees23]

Booker isn’t getting traded !!!

Go get a PG and a C , then hope we hit with Draft

If Beal is amenable -- how many picks are you willing to give up? I would give up 29 this year or 2027 FRP and a couple seconds

Granted, it will probably take 2027, 29 this year and multiple seconds
I would need to see the players. Rozier and Robinson for sure

I don't think we have a 2027 first do we?

[KdoubleDees23]

I would give up every pick minus 10 to get beal out of here

Its from Cleveland so it won't be that good.

I truly am fine keeping all three - who cares if too much is tied up in SG. Just don't be stupid.
