Porzingis, Booker, sign Millsap and Paul George next Summer.

Keep Bledsoe in the Porzingis package, but take on Noah instead.

Bled/Ulis
Booker/Knight
Paul George/Dudley/DJJ
Millsap/Chriss
Porzingis/Chriss/Williams

Are Lakers in this thing now? I was wondering why they were not in...with the 2nd pick and they could trade Ingram and Randle.


Noah interferes with their summer of 18' plans.

I think Sarver is like 95% of the reason why the Suns drafted Chriss, and it's feasible he could veto a trade with him in it.

We'd need an elite wing defender as our 3rd guy, might sound ridiculous but wait for Josh Jackson to get disgruntled lol.

If we're giving up Chriss or Bender I keep the Miami picks


I wonder if Isola knows anything. In most NBA circles, Bender has more value than Chriss, and not by only a little, but the weird thing is it seems NY and Phx both like Chriss more.

I would throw either into the trade but Bender complements KP so much more since he can switch onto the perimeter and is a good defender and passer, while KP can't guard 3s. You play Chriss and Bender you're screwed on switches.

I'd rather not trade either though. But for roster purposes and upside, it certainly makes more sense to keep Bender over Chriss.


Realgm rumors are running heavy on PHX front. I haven't seen so many rumors before trade that happened since Monta Ellis for Bogut. I think KP is coming to PHX. It looks like 4th, Bledsoe, and probably Chriss or Bender- since they are getting Porzingis

Or he could be better than Porzingis, and the Suns become a laughing stock.


Honestly I think Bender could have huge success, but the Knicks fans will revolt if KP is traded (far moreso than if we traded Booker mostly because the city is MUCH MUCH bigger and Bender would have to be one tough individual to get by that)...I know it sounds odd but I think it would be easier for someone else like Chriss who wasn't a tall white euro replacement...less scrutiny. Bender is raw...much younger than Porzingis...he would need to perform quickly...Chriss would too but I think he could handle the pressure better in that situation. I think if Bender goes there it will be very tough for him.

I was just wondering if Griffin would turn down his player option then sign with us.

I would push hard for Patrick Beverly from the Rockets as our starting PG if we had that lineup.

Yes.

But would ask to take on Noah for their 8th pick


Would you rather have Porzingis or Butler? If this is the price, I would rather have the very proven, All-NBA Butler. I think he could be had cheaper than this price also.

Porzingis easily. If you can hit 3s and block shots, that is extremely important in today's nba. His shot is unguardable. Butler is nice and a good defender, but he is 27 and doesn't have much shooting range. With our team, KP makes much more sense if we trade one of Chriss and Bender.

Porzingis everyday.

In 2019 we could have 2 All Stars aged 22.

Butler has two years on his deal, then he's free to ditch the Suns to go to Miami or some other attractive market. I don't have much faith the Suns would be good enough in two years to make him want to stay.

KP, unless he's disgruntled with the Suns and takes a qualifying offer, would be locked up for 6 years.

Great point.

Butler is proven and if we can have him for #4 straight up, it's a way better value.

Porzingis/Noah for

Bledsoe/Chriss/#4? ...I think I'd have to say "yes"

Bledsoe/Bender/#4? ...I'm saying "no"

Bledsoe/Warren/#4? ...Yeah, gotta do it.

Phil probably needs more return than these choices offer, so it's moot. I'm a little worried about The Zinger's injuries this past season anyway.

Well, back to hoping for Jackson, or Fox and a Bledsoe trade
