Of course they get healthier just as they play us.

if we're not playing bol against the spurs while nurk is injured we're not playing bol this year - same for d-lee who should probably change his name to o-lee

I feel the same about Bol Bol. Now if the Suns trade Allen, I can see Lee getting playing time.

greyson is staying tho

If there is a trade, the market value will likely dictate who gets traded.

He is our best trade chip by a fairly decent margin. If we want frontcourt depth, Grayson is a goner.

I will let you keep "greyson" but I may have to trade Allen.

I wonder if the Rockets would have any interest in trading Jock Landale for Josh Okogie?

I keep looking for a lower salaried trade that would work.

I would guess no. Rockets are already pretty loaded at the wing, and have a younger Okogie type in Thompson. Rockets are probably trying to consolidate their talent. Should the Suns ever decide to move on from Durant, Houston and OKC are the two best teams to call. OKC probably won't want to mess with the chemistry as the West favorite for the Finals, but Houston might. They have the salary and assets to put together a good package.

That's a tough call. If I trusted Royce to keep his offensive production up I'd be a bit more amenable to it.

Besides Allen and Nurkic, I'm trying to expand trade ideas that could include lower salaried players like Okogie and O'Neale.

I don't think Durant is going anywhere unless he wants out. The same with Beal and Booker.

Suns are only 1.5 favorites tonight. Seems low.

Note:

The Suns will have two makeup games scheduled yet to be announced.

How come Gerald's avatar resembles Devin Booker? In real life I don't think they look similar.

I like Plumlee coming off the bench better. He seems to play better off the bench.

On paper, the Pelicans starters appear more impressive than the Suns starters.

No KD, no Nurk, and Suns play down to the level of competition.

 

[Yuma]

Missing Dunn hurts. His defense will be missed.
