Well we haven't won a playoff game since he left. The minute we traded him it was all downhill.

I wouldn't do that trade. Thunder wanting to do that suggest there's a diamond in the rough to fall outside top 5... just like Jalen Williams did for them.
Suns should identify this player that Thunder wants and draft him.

Do they need a great 2G that fits the timeline with AD?

He plays defense against getting traded cause he has a clause!

Turns out having an overpaid center is far better than having an underpaid one in Nick Richards thinking he was going to do all the defensive things that Ayton was actually good at.
Plus, the board needs their punching bag too, right?
Richards at $5m and doing about 80% of DA's work is pretty good value

Coincidence.... I think not.

Lots of centers can put up 10/10. Lobs and then usually being one of the tallest players on court gets you rebound. But Richards stats are deceiving because he absolutely has no impact both ends.
So yes sure, his 5M a year is low cost for his numbers but Suns are not going anywhere with him as center.
There are centers out there with less rebounds or less points and are much better than Nick Richards.
Suns should really try to get someone like Okongwu from Hawks or even Jalen Smith back from Bulls, as he had no fear challenging shots, he had energy and can stretch the floor.
I get it, that the Suns don't want a high value big man as long as they get rebounds.... but sadly, to be a good team, your big man needs to be reliable to defend perimeter and inside even if it doesn't lead to direct statistics. Ayton provided those things and Ayton also dominated Richards on their matchups just to show the talent gap between the two.

Apparently Jrue not happy with the trade. Whoever was saying the Blazers are trying to make the playoffs

"According to one source, "I’ll be surprised if Portland doesn’t move him...because he does not want to go there"
That makes even less sense now....like 1. how would you not know he'd be pissed off, 2. how do you now move him after you gave up 2 2nds to get him.

Beal and O’Neal for Grant and Jrue
Who says No?
If Beal approves

Banging my head on the table when the answer is right in front of Ishbia’s stupid Michigan apparel he has laying around his mansion. This isn’t rocket science. Trade Booker.
