I doubt Booker will say anything. He's never been that kind of player. He's always said the right things. I certainly wouldn't be shocked if he decided to leave when he becomes an UFA though. We've shown no ability to build a competive team around him.

If you have Book, DLo and KAT on the same team, who’s going to play defense? You’d need prime Pip and Rodman out there.

Well yeah if the suns aren't good the next 4 years he should leave. Here's the cold truth if with two years left on his deal the suns still aren't good they should trade Booker. I'm not saying it would be his fault but at that point it will be time to try something else.Jarlaxle0204 wrote:I doubt Booker will say anything. He's never been that kind of player.

I say with two years left because any less you start to lose value as the contract is coming closer to an end.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

I'll be rooting against the sixers this postseason. I want to see them flame out to at least leave the window open for a Ben Simmons trade

A bunch of players that could have really helped us where tossed around for cheap.
We couldn't get involved with any deals to pick up a Beasley, Juancho, Crowder for cheap?
Also, the Suns could have easily beaten the Wolves' offer for Dlo.
The Wolves and Grizzlies have gotten much stronger - getting the 8th this year is going to be really tough.
Let's hope James Jones has something big stacked up for the summer because this trade deadline was very disappointing

You're probably correct. More draft picks here we come. 2 more years then until bottoming out.....again.

Minnesota literally has no assets left. Even if they trade their entire roster outside of KAT and DLO it still wouldn't be enough value for Booker. It's not going to happen anytime soon.
And they couldn't trade a pick until 2023. But we wouldn't trade Book sooner than that, so we would need like two firsts and some players. I just really wish the west wasn't so brutally tough because even the teams outside of the playoffs tied or ahead of us (or the Kings one game behind us) are all getting better and we may have a hard time keeping up with the Pelicans and Grizzlies. Who knows about the Blazers and Spurs. And then the TWolves might be better, though I think losing Covington might hurt more than getting DLo. Wiggins had improved too.

Re DeLo/KAT/Book, I don't know why everyone's ignoring the obvious...
... They'll all be unrestricted free agents that season. And it's cold in Minnesota.

Hopefully we are good by then and don't need them.

That would be rebuild 4.0 since Nash. 1.0 was the first bandaid rebuild banks tried with Beasley and crew. McDs tragic adventure was 2.0. Jones is a year into 3.0.Jarlaxle0204 wrote:WeekapaugGroove wrote:Well yeah if the suns aren't good the next 4 years he should leave.

Fo sho.
Yo I got a question for you. Would you be happy if we dealt Ayton for KAT, straight up? I know you're about as encouraged as I am at this point about Deandre's defense. I'm sure you share my skepticism of KAT's. Does his epic shooting really make up for the difference? Given Deandre's level of D, doesn't it seem that his ceiling is a lot higher?

You really had a chance to lay down a spicy ass meme. All you had to do was stick some board members names on a few of those ppl. Kerrsed, get in here. I'm definitely the guy before the nun, with the cheapshot and super aggressive hand blasts. Who's the chick though, that's the real question. Now THIS is what polls are for.

Ayton is becoming one **** of a defender. I don't think it's out of the clouds that he's going to add a 3pt shot soon.
