I can’t believe we gave up 32 for this...

I would be absolutely floored if he's on the roster opening night.

Trade down makes sense if we're getting DLo. Wouldn't be surprised if we just take White and call it a night, though.

Something bigger coming according to Nevel.

Suns trade Devin Booker and #6 for cash considerations.

I think a lot of the reactions right now are very negative. I believe the Suns are trying to make some huge moves this off-season. I believe it was Ghost who mentioned we should be trying to take some gambles, so here we are. Let's see what happens in free agency.

Im sure they shopped him around for free and didn't get a bite.

I posed the question the other day of what TJ would get if he was an UFA this summer and the teams with cap space just answered 'not what he's currently making'

Not happy at all with this trade but holding judgement until I see what we do with that space

I expect our pick to be Culver or Hunter or a trade down for Clarke. If that happens, you can bet good money that we're going after Russell.

We’re going to do the same thing we do every year. Try and get a mid-level talent player to come here, then when he signs somewhere else we panic and overpay for 1-2 low level players and “try again next offseason”.

In a vacuum I think it's bad trade also. However if we get a great player with the space at a higher position of need it would make more sense. I like TJ's game and its said we had to give up a pick also but with Oubre and Bridges here TJ was going to be the odd man out

We probably would have traded Josh Jackson but after more of these off-court issues, I don't think anyone wants to touch him right now. So unfortunately that means we are stuck with him until at least mid-February. Likely we are going to decline his team option for 2020-21 season. Similar to what we did with Bender.

I do not think Warren is soft, he just doesn't come back from injuries quickly because there is nothing to fight for. If we were fighting to get to the PO he could have come back earlier or with more pain.

I think this is a stupid trade. Warren is a good defender that was still developing his game and averages 18 ppp for less than 12 mill/year, who not many players in the L are capable of.

The Mavs wanted to acquire him. We sold him for nothing.

They say that they want to trade Tyler Johnson if he opts in. I believe they are trying to save money again and sport priorities come second (if something).

If they think they are going to land a big FA, I believe they are dellusional...
