Suns -
Jerami Grant
Robert Williams III
Blazers -
Bradley Beal
2 2nd round picks
Blazers move forward with a starting lineup of Jrue, Sharpe, Avdija, Toumani, and probably Clingan. Blazers likely trade DA to have Yang be the backup to Clingan for the year.
For the Suns, Jerami Grant is not a bad starting PF. He had a pretty awful year though averaging 14.4 points per game, shooting 37% from the field. Additionally, he only played 47 games. Suns probably buy out Robert Williams III to shed a little cap relief. Suns then sign CP3. Trade Nick Richards for cap relief.
CP3 / Gil
Booker / Green / Brea
Brooks / Dunn / Grayson
Grant / Fleming / Royce
Williams / Maluach

Suns won the rockets trade. They won the Mark
Williams trade. They haven’t lost anything yet.
Sexton was leaving Utah. No one wants to play there. Jazz got a 2nd out of the inevitable

Lakers would be highly interested in Richards, I would fleece them as much as possible.

Rui for Nurkic perhaps
I don't care who gets Richards just as long as its at least 2 FRPs and no cash coming back

Mark Williams is TBD. There is a reason he fetched what he fetched. 15/10 23 year old big men dont go for very late 1st rounders. And considering Suns just got a very good steal with Fleming, first round picks late or not CAN be very valuable if someone with so much potential slips, or 21+ year olds who tend to be good role player when they get to the NBA.
The Rockets trade is looking better, but again, KD is a 27/6/4 super efficient scorer who is above average to good defensively still.... so Suns lost a legit top 10 player 36 year old or not.
Jalen Green has to continue to improve and improve his shot selection and Maluach needs to also prove he isnt Thabeet version 2.

I’ve been saying this for months. Someone just needs to have the balls to sit him. A.) he doesn’t hurt himself B.) he knows he’s at the twighlight of his peak, ain’t no one wanting to watch their career go down the drain from the sidelines. I’m sure this would help persuade him to waive his NTC. And if he doesn’t? Oh well. We were on the hook for his contract anyways.Ghost of Kleine wrote:
I'm sorry, but it'd be really dumb to just send Beal home to sit when we need to not only have his production (off the bench preferrably)! But also have him play to showcase himself for prospective teams in trade.
His contract and salary are what they are, and having him sit at home helps nothing, and doesn't help to recoup value perception from his in game production if he's not playing at all.
Sometimes I wonder if Windbag really thinks he's trying to help or he's some Dan Gilbert (Cleveland) operative just trying to make the situation worse for Ishbia and the suns to capitulate to Gilbert himself in their (Gilbert and Ishbias') pissing contest??
