    The Durant Sweepstakes

    that's a possibility but instead of giving up the most versatile guy on the team for Durant i'd argue for trading our picks for some other stud during the season to go into the playoffs with: 1. Booker 2. Paul 3. Ayton 4. Bridges 5. star/stud (for picks and parts to rebuilding team) 6. Cam J...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    yes, in 2 years, with Paul gone and Durant 36 and Booker pulling in 55 mil of cap space a year, those Suns picks will be valuable of course, the usual talking heads are still saying that's not enough even if you throw in Bridges. no problem. the Nets fans can enjoy another year of epic...

    The Ayton Plan

    Deandre would say he loved the idea of playing with Cyd Charisse and Richard Burton if it were on a max deal, and they're both dead if Tyrese Haliburton is not on the NBA-2K game, Ayton probably doesn't even know who he is (just like most here probably have no idea who Cyd Charisse and Richard...

    The Durant Sweepstakes

    KD should "rumble" about returning to the Warriors because his window is closing here for our sake, i hope the Warriors do, stupidly, sacrifice their future viability for a Durant boost now that will probably fade with an injury next season anyway but i do believe, as i've said, that Durant...

    The Ayton Plan

    the Ayton walk scenario is not happening the "internal matter' would have to be sooo beyond what the Lakers must live with Westbrook, the Nets must live with Kyrie and Ben Simmons. And it's not at all. just a family squabble. come training camp everyone, including Ayton will be talking team...

    The Ayton Plan

    i buy it. Sarver is already on the ropes for a lot of reasons, without him being blamed for an Ayton bust too

    The Ayton Plan

    Gambo is wacked if he thinks the Suns might let Ayton walk i've got an "i told you so" queued up for release in 8 hours when it looks inevitable that the Suns will match, Ayton will stay, and Durant speculations will lose their steam

    The Ayton Plan

    to add: the Suns tested the market, let someone else set the maximum offer now match, and it will all work out as planned

    The Ayton Plan

    yeah, so what's the problem here? the Suns indicated they were open to signing him to 4 years, last year now they can get that 4 year deal done looks like a good outcome to me probably the best outcome

    The Ayton Plan

    yeah, Ayton and Smith AND they let McGee go i like Bismack -- on the bench most of the time. He was/is the most one dimensional, limited of our big men

    The Ayton Plan

    yes, Angel, i stand by that post 100% i might do that even trade, and not even be happy about it but i didn't say i think we "can" do that trade -- because the Nets are out of their minds -- and, btw, so are the hosts on sports radio who say crap like trading Ayton, Bridges, and 4 picks "makes...

    The Ayton Plan

    did i miss some statement from Ayton or his agent that verifies that he "literally doesn’t want to play in Phoenix anymore?" OR is it all of our assumptions, including mine, that he feels under-valued and would like to be somewhere where he can make more money -- a feeling we've all had about...

    The Ayton Plan

    i disagree. It's not bad, it's overblown. The Lakers and 3 teams in the East, mainly Durant's Nets, had real bad issues. This Ayton stuff is more of the garden-variety -- both sides wanting more from each other. Greedy agent, immature player. Common stuff teams go through and can get through...

    The Ayton Plan

    ok, i'll be reasonable i'll consider trading Bridges for Durant straight up and they should be happy to do it considering he's got such a long career ahead of him, was runner-up for defensive player of the year, is among the highest percentage in offensive efficiency, and is as versatile a...

    The Ayton Plan

    my final offer for the 34 year old with injury and chemistry issues is our 24 year old with maturity issues if Jersey doesn't like it, let them live with their disgruntled superstar oh, alright. i'll throw in 1 first round pick ok... 2. but that's it!

    The Ayton Plan

    add Holiday to the makes-no-sense list. He was included in a trade because they thought he could help. It looked to me like he was more useful than anticipated. Now he's gone after a few months. and, of course, the Ayton saga makes no sense. The "internal matter" and the game 7 meltdown remain...

    The Ayton Plan

    No Suns deal of any significance on the way?

    The Ayton Plan

    45th? 62 in trade value? according to Ayton himself a couple of months ago, "he's the best!" (we must assume he was talking about the center position. and when i posted my concern about in this thread, many posters argued that he wasn't that far off)

    The Ayton Plan

    yes. i'll put it this way Ayton is a hill you climb and, if need be, die on if you're Sarver and Jones there's no way they bail out of the franchise's only #1 pick (ahead of Luka and Young) who's immature but has showed signs of star power who you were willing to pay a 4 year max, but rather...

    The Ayton Plan

    i'm going to triple down on my prediction that this is par for the course: -- that the Suns intended to wait out an offer for Ayton only to match when they had to -- that the Suns best option is to let this youngster's little grievances blow over because he knows the Suns, particularly Paul...

    The Ayton Plan

    so why not match Indiana's offer and trade Ayton during the season?

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    in "Virtually all of player wage increase is being paid on the media end," virtual is the key word, as in "virtual reality." actual reality, is that WE pay every salary. We pay the media. that's why the average ticket price is $100 and playoff tickets go for thousands. That's why there are...

    The Ayton Plan

    as bad as it was for Ayton to be yelled at, i'm afraid he would have been less productive without out it. back to "i'm the best" remark. he just doesn't get what it takes and it's not really true that every point can efficiently set up bigs and, certainly, not as good as Paul. when Paul went...

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    look, by any rational analysis, Booker is a top 12 player who had a good season that justified the max salary he was already getting, not an 80% raise in 2 years. And that's disregarding his 2 hamstring injuries and playoff bust. fans need to wake up and demand more affordable access instead of...

    Booker signs Super Max Extension - 2022 Offseason

    i guess you're right about the modern reality of qualifying for super-max and getting it, but that stinks. I don't know who votes on All-NBA but you could really screw with a team's future by voting a player in -- we really shot ourselves in the foot with that whole campaign that...
