They love Grayson Allen but he’s probably their only real movable asset and I think they should try to get Kessler if they strike out on Lauri
Markkanen would be a huge get for us and would solve a lot of problems; unfortunately though, it would probably cost us Allen and that is, to me, a no way move. I'd rather we move others but don't see anyone biting on the players we have. We need to convince Beal to allow for a trade, but I don't see that happening either.

Ishbia sunk us with the Durant deal and compounded his mistake with Beal. It's just hugely disappointing as a Suns fan to know how screwed we are for at least a decade. So much promise yet so little delivery on it.

Why is moving Grayson no way? For Lauri bro I’m sorry you have to move him. I doubt it would take just Grayson though.

Is there no hope that Beal would one day consider waiving his no-trade clause? Maybe it’ll take another wasted year.
He's a no way for me and is one of the only truly valuable and productive players we have. We need him more than we need to trade him away. Besides, he likes it here and I don't think he wants to go anywhere. I'd rather it be O'Neale or others.

As for Beal, no, I don't think he's waving his clause to go anywhere. We're truly stuck with him.
