After that we can think about things like Oubre/Gordon swap. But if Booker demands a trade then it will make things more dramatic.

From that man always wanting the AZ guys?

Gordon has been, and will always be, my least favorite Wildcat. I was there for every home game, PAC-12 Championship and 2 NCAA tournament games his 1 season in Tucson. Never saw a guy so concerned with checking boxes for the NBA Draft instead of, you know, actually playing basketball.

Rondae on the other hand :eyebrows:

Stay up Suns fans. I think you guys will make a big leap next year. You guys have a solid core. At least way better than my Knicks lol. You just need a better bench and health on your side. Bright future ahead..

He had the exact same defense after hitting 1 of 2 free throws at the end of the Raptors game. The very next play Devin stood quietly outside the 3 point line as his man drove right past him and to the basket for a layup. Two straight plays showing why this team can't win close games the entire season.

Was it really 3 years ago? Seeing Bledsoe in Suns uniform seems like it was 5-6 years ago.

It's the little attention to detail that Devin and this team in general needs to work on to take it up a notch. Every play matters and giving up a freebie early can be the difference in a game.

Plays like that make me laugh when I see devin yelling at teammates on other plays.

From Shams at the Athletic

Denver attempted to make a major trade just prior to the deadline, according to sources. Jrue Holiday had been a significant Nuggets target, but the New Orleans Pelicans never showed interest to move him, particularly after Holiday made his desire clear to remain with the franchise. The Nuggets are currently 42-20 and one game out of the second seed in the Western Conference.

The Suns also made a late push for Orlando’s Aaron Gordon, sources said. Gordon, who along with Derrick Jones Jr., put on a show at the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, has had a strong second half of the season. He is expected to be pursued in the offseason by multiple teams.

Aside from Miami, one other team made a late push for Oklahoma City’s Danilo Gallinari: Dallas, per sources.

Let's go!!!! The only way to watch suns these days is being hammered drunk. If many attend it will be like a playoff game with all the noise and confetti flying everywhere.

Good luck on the Milwaukee train! I've been rooting for MDA, PJ Tucker, and Russ in Houston. People criticize the small ball, but I think we should wait and see how it turns out. It's a lot of fun when Russ and Harden are both on. They really look unstoppable. As for last night, well, :lol:

but it's a work in progress.

So, Just a curious thought!

IF it is in fact true that we pursued Gordon at the trade deadline, Who here thinks that it may be reasonable to assume that we could/ would revisit that very trade this summer? Or perhaps even on draft night, As trades by non playoff teams can be initiated right after the regular season ends. If there's someone that we like around the 14-18 range, Could we possibly look to trade back with Orlando and perhaps do a pick swap, inclusive to the trade.

Phoenix/ Orlando-
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=uqg4f5u . *** (Phoenix does a pick swap with Orlando, As they don't feel like they'll find a more productive/ ready 4 in the range of their pick). And at ( #15 or 16) They take either RJ Hampton, Jahmius Ramsey ( * marcus smart) or Theo Maledon. Then in free agency, They put out a solid offer to either Joe Harris, Bryn Forbes, Or Glenn Robinson 3rd. Lastly they offer whatever exception that is available to them to sign...........Nerlens Noel or Alex Len perhaps.

Overall though, I'd hope that they look to return to a hybrid of our "Run N' Gun" days. That's the best way to bring back excitement and a true culture change to this franchise.

Booker's defensive genius on display

Would you prefer a regular season from Christmas to late June and playoffs late June to late August?
