Why would we trade either of those guys on the contracts that they are on and still young as hell? Our fan base needs to chill with the trading Knight stuff; before the draft yea, but now? Nah. I'm cool.


Knight is a 24 year old 20 and 5 and 5 guy that shoots 35-37% on three and 87% on FT's. If the guy buys in, he is an definite asset. If he doesn't, the guys are going to kick his little arse!


Yup.... Knight will get every opportunity to prove he's Mcmully's 'Almost an All-Star'. He was hand picked during the Slovenian Rebellion, which apparently still is a touchy subject. 8-)

That's the first I've heard of that variant of the deal. MCD should be fired if that happened. That's an overpay for an expiring contract.

They wont include Booker for any Westbrook trade. They would want to pair an elite slasher with Booker.


Bledsoe, Tucker, maybe Goodwin, one of Heat's picks for Westbrook.

Assumong Westbrook says he will extend with Suns.

"maybe Goodwin" lol. As if he's anything more than a throw in. The Nets picks are more sure bets than the 2021 Heat pick, but Ainge will lowball and send smokescreens as usual to drive up the price

If McD trades Booker, he is going to get death threats from people. There are all kinds of teen girls out there who would be distraught.

I hope Westbrook goes to Boston in exchange for some of their forwards and a few picks.

I don't want him here. Talented? Yes. Headcase and solo act? Yes.

The guy is a punk. You can tell by his interviews. He might average a triple double on a team without KD but he goes against the team/family culture we are trying to build and hurt the development of our young players.

There is way too much discussion about this nonsense.

The words some people in this world use to describe people they don't know amazes me.....

Punk goes beyond the court. Selfish, stubborn, overtly aggressive, driven, hungry, bull-headed, angry, incoherent, pugnacious, loud, provocative, just to name a few........on the court, but punk and thug goes way too far in my book. Those words are reserved for real miscreants, not NBA players with bad attitudes who act tough.


I know this will fall on deaf ears, but I had to say it.

Here is the article my fellow beloved Suns enthusiasts. I do digress however, why in the name of everything that is pure and holy in this cold cruel miserable heartless world would the Suns trade Booker? He is without a doubt the most exciting player drafted in the Sarver era and he is locked into his rookie contract.

Ridiculous. Our GM is way smarter than that, hell even I am. In two years Booker could be a top 10 player easy.

Some of you are really setting yourself up for a major letdown. Booker would have to be better than a 5th year Butler in is 3rd year to be a Top 10 player

Pass on Westbrook, he wouldn't resign here and we would lose him in FA for nothing, not to mention what we would have to give up in a trade to get him. Let him go to the Celtics so they can be lose to the Cavs in the ECF.
