But I don't trust Sarver and Jones to do anything that will not be idiotic.
I really liked Beverley this years. Added a lot of snark, and attitude. The Suns need that. He might be tops on my list. And the Clippers do have young guards and might not bring back Beverley if they have bigger players to sign (Kawhi perhaps)
Beverley may not be the prototypical PG but with Booker and Tyler - would be a nice three guard rotation.
As for PF - Aminu or Thad Young seem realistic
Clarke from the draft would be outstanding - willing to trade back for cap space to get him.
Would love to get JaMychal Green from the Clippers as well. Defensive minded power forward who has become really good from 3 point land. Depending on how far Clarke falls in the draft, I wouldn't mind swinging a trade using Warren (+ Bucks pick?) to get him, and then use capspace to sign Green.
Morant / Johnson / Okobo or Melton
Booker / Jackson
Oubre / Bridges
Green / Clarke
Ayton / Holmes / Bender
On paper, Clarke would fit well with Bender off the bench.
Nice mix of offense & defense , high-energy players, and improved floor spacing.
