The problem is the lack of foresight!!
At the trade deadline James Jones probably could have traded both straight up for expiring contracts and be done with it. All that while improving our lottery position so that we could have fallen no further than 5th instead of 7th.
Oubre had ridiculous demands in extension talks last year with the Wizards.
Nobody should be surprised that this takes a time, Oubre thinks he is worth more than what the market thinks he is worth.
Ridiculous
We are losing Warren and Daniels our best shooters and were the worst shooting team in the league while adding one of the worst shooting PGs and two rookies.
Saric at best is a mediocre shooter
Towns should play PF alongside Ayton anyway.
When Towns becomes available down the road add him using future picks. Minnesota probably won't have much leverage when it happens.
Trading #6 for #11 and Saric is going to be the worst draft day since drafting Bender at 4
Especially if they pick a seriously flawed prospect like Clarke at 11.
this is not even working under the cap and considering the Suns would either lose 10M$ caproom or have to throw in TJ Warren or Josh Jackson than that is just an absolutely awful trade.
Weak draft or not you don't trade top 7 picks for backup players.
