Do you want Kyrie Irving in a Suns uniform?

Yes, no matter what it takes (obviously not Booker, but maybe Bender or Chriss plus Bledsoe plus whatever else)

Yes, but only if it's reasonable, like Bledsoe, Warren and a Miami pick (or no Miami pick, if they'll take it)

I think he is very underrated. Better numbers than Booker this year. Very good shooter. I think Denver values him though...took him to the MIllsap meeting.

Sucks we could have drafted him but took Ennis.

I really think Denver could be a fun team this year with Murray, Harris, Millsap and Jokic. Then they have some fairly solid vets like Wilson Chandler and some promising other young guys like Juancho Hernangomez, Donovan Mitchell and Trey Lyles. Decent backup center too in Mason Plumlee. It's too bad for them they couldn't do more with Nurkic though.

Donovan Mitchell is traded to Utah.

Oh yeah, I missed that one...well, they don't need him anyway with Murray and Harris.

Probably Whiteside or Turner.

I'll always have a hard on for KLove. I think he'd be the perfect addition to our team. I just think he's the ideal player for the system we run. He rebounds well, stretches the floor, starts the break, and with a defensive minded Center he'd be perfect.

Yea the suns aren't ready to add anyone. Just keep growing organically or you risk blowing the entire rebuild to scrape together a 40 game winner.

Short of a MAJOR addition of course like LeBron, Durant, kawhi, Gobert, giannis, Jokic, ant davis, green, curry, or porzingis (all are pipe dreams).. their window just isn't ready. Why give up young assets or cap space yet? If any thing id be looking to shuffle guys like TJW, BLEDSOE, and booker for more picks to build around bender and Jackson. But i know booker is probably a big draw on a cheap contract so that makes him a tough sell from a business perspective

Why give up young assets, then you mention shuffling Warren and Booker (two great young assets) for other unknown assets. Wut.

Jonathan Isaac :) I'm still smitten by his potential.

Players that fit the timeline (one way or another) and not untouchable, and I could see them in a role for our "contender" team in 2-3 years - mostly looking for subs, as I think we should have the majority of the starters by now in Booker/JJ/TJ/Chriss/Bender (maybe even Len). But some not untouchable stars there as well in the list. Also not really looking at a lot of guys who are starter material at the wing or at PF, we got those covered. With that, my list is something like this:
Adebayo
Capella
Cousins
Crowder
Seth Curry
Favors
Aaron Gordon
Henson
Richaun Holmes
Irving
Patrick McCaw
TJ McConnel
Larry Nance Jr
Smart
Tyus Jones
Winslow

And I'm sure I left out a bunch of others. But this all depends on the question...

ironically, Lebron would still complain about needing a backup PG LOL

Potential PF Starter:

Aaron Gordon
Harrison Barnes

Backup 4's that either can also play 3 or 5:

Jaylen Brown
Maurice Harkless
Jonathan Isaac
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
JaMychal Green
Stanley Johnson
Pascal Siakam
Bobby Portis
Noah Vonleh
Joel Bolomboy
Jerami Grant
Chris McCullough
Sam Dekker

PG's via Bledsoe Trade:

De'Aaron Fox
Emmanuel Mudiay
Elfrid Payton
T.J. McConnell

Trade Block:

Bledsoe, Knight, Chandler, Dudley, and/or Miami Picks!! Obviously most of players mentioned either wouldn't be available or only available via Draft Picks but I'd like to keep young core!!! :D

Rudy Gobert, hand down. So under rated.

KAT, Myles Turner and Porzingis are at the top of my list.

All are unicorn style 4/5's that fit with the modern NBA and would be worth a large ransom deal.

If you can pair any one of those guys with Booker and keep one of Jackson/TJ, then you do it.
