Portland is reportedly content with letting Plumlee go because of their depth at C so I think we should try and make a play for him. He's actually a good young athletic defensive center (kinda what Robin Lopez is now). I'd offer him $12-$15M/yr deal.
Certainly much, much better than Len.

I'll still take him on that contract over Knight at his $15M/yr. I wonder if Miami would be interested in going younger and think maybe they can do something with the Florida native Knight.

Um. He would not want to play with Booker or Bledsoe. If you want to trade Knight for Dragic, you need to ship of Booker or Bledsoe as well. At least Knight is willing to come of the bench without pouting. Do you remember Goran standing still in the corner pouting because he was not handling the ball on offense?
How soon we forget.
Think Dragic would play with Booker as long as he is starting point guard. Move Bledsoe and Knight for Dragic and pieces if the FO would want him back. I would be surprised. IMO I like Dragic but I'm happy with (a healthy) Bledsoe. Hopefully we'll get other takers for Knight, unless he starts hitting shots and play pure backup SG. I want Ulis in the rotation!

I will keep Bledsoe. While both are not pass first guards, Bledsoe plays better D, and its not close. Bledsoe has also taken leadership of this team off the court in a very good way. Dragic never did that. Nope. I want to keep Bledsoe (over Dragic anyway).

Well no he wouldn't have to. You're expecting Bledsoe to finish the season? I'd wager that his season is done before February at the very latest. If I had to guess I don't he even lasts that long and ends in late December/early Jan again. And Bledsoe's defense is not nearly as good as it used to be. Still better than Dragic's but taking into account that Goran is a far superior offensive player and much, much, much more durable, he'd clearly have more value than Bledsoe.
Another thing to note is that Booker is far more unselfish and ok with playing off ball than Bledsoe/IT/Dragic were for us. Booker is a true SG so he knows how to move around without the ball. I don't think anyone would need to stand in the corner and pout like you say. And when Dragic was unhappy playing here, he didn't fall to the ground 10 times a game and take awfully contested shots and pass up wide open shots to take contested 2s like Knight does every single game. I'd take Goran back for the rather big difference in both his & Knight's basketball IQ.

It is humorous that the leading advocate for perpetual tanking is displaying such lust and vigor for the franchise to be built around a 30 year old on a max contract who would not even make us a playoff contender.

It's going to be sad if the Lakers become contenders before the Suns do without the Lakers even needing to sign any superstar FAs in free agency.
Luke Walton looks like he knows what he's actually doing. The plays they run and the type of ball movement they get is something Earl Watson should try and replicate with the Suns.

Man. Quit worrying about what horrible thing might be and enjoy the moment.
No GM in the world gets every decision right. Watson is proving to be a good coach already. We have Devin Booker, TJ Warren, and Bledsoe coming into his own as a leader. We've got Chriss and Bender oozing with talent waiting in the wings. And we have some very good picks coming up in the next few years. Its a great moment to be a Suns fan.

Steph Curry THIRTEEN threes in a game setting all time NBA record for most 3s in a single game.
Amazing.
Amazing.

Welcome to Amareca
I would give up anything excluding Booker, Warren and Chriss for Anthony Davis.
Knight, Len, Bender, Tucker, 2017 Suns pick unprotected, 2019 Suns pick unprotected, 2019 Miami pick unprotected, 2021 Miami pick unprotected

I know you don't like bender but special kids do special things...like sinking his first couple of three pointers and being the only 18yo since the Greek freak to score 10 points on debut.
I'm of the view that if you draft someone, you stick with them - and that includes Len - as you don't want a Bryant or nowitzki situation on your hands, ever.
