Hope that 2022 pick is protected somehow but glad we kept Cam and #10

This will be interesting. I dont hate it, but i dont love it. We didnt give up our pick or Cam which is nice, and hopefully Paul can bring in one or two vets to round out the roster. I hate seeing Rubio go after one season. Oubre was a nice off the court guy, but i didnt see him has crucial to our success.

Yeah need protections on this just in case. But they aren't a playoff team in 21/22 Jones is fired and rebuild 4.0 would be coming.

I would say a 2022 pick could be in the 20's ... not a bad give up for CP3

And not the 10th right?!?! Draft compensation sounds like a future pick swap right?

No lose situation here, even if CP3 gets hurt. Now you don’t have to go pg in the draft. I would go wing now in the draft to upgrade Bridges position a bit. I think Cam should be starting PF going forward.

I really don't hate this trade. I am a bit leery about the 2022 FRP - -I hope there is top 3 protection. Shams just said its pretty heavily protected so this is a fine trade

But not giving up 10 or Cam - and we knew about Rubio and Oubre.

So now its time to go get Gallinari.

It just shows that the Suns had the leverage.

Was just looking at him. He has a team option so he might get released but he is cheap and was decent from 3 so could be a guy they keep as like an 12th man wing depth piece.

Ok, Paul is an upgrade over Ricky even at this age, I hope. Now if they find a good cheap replacement for Oubre this may be a much better team after all. Good Jones had the balls to not include Cam if that was actually on the table.

This is bad. Due to protections we don't have any future 1st round picks to trade until 2027.
