So Russell is going to be with the Wolves if Kyrie commits so it's not looking good for Russell.

This is weird to me - but it does open the door for the suns to more easily acquire him if they were so inclined. But I don't think they are - or we would be hearing about him setting up a meeting with the suns as well as the timberwolves.

I think it’s time to jump off the DLo train. There’s just not much out there indicating any substantial evidence the Suns are even making an effort. Just make an effort, Jones. That’s all we ask.

I heard that the Wolves were a backup plan and Russell is in Minnesota so it doesn't look good.
I think we need to face the fact that the Suns are going nowhere, and Booker will be the next star to demand a trade.

Got our draft picks wrong until right before they were picked, thought we wouldn't trade warren, jj, or the 6th (refuted next day by a national writer). Hell windhorst is saying that he was wrong in that jj had negative value

The Los Angeles Lakers reached out to D'Angelo Russell's agents at CAA -- Austin Brown and Aaron Mintz -- to set up a meeting with the All-Star guard, league sources tell ESPN. The Lakers and Russell share a mutual interest in a reunion. Lakers have the cap space to sign him.

Ugh. The Suns need to at least get a meeting.
He IS making an effort...to tank yet again...

Possible or this team is very tight lipped as we've seen so far

If Russell goes to the Wolves it seems like Teague is a real possibility for Suns.
Or, like lots of other teams, the Timberwolves will have multiple NBA caliber point guards, while the Suns don't even have one...

This is so wrong.
So he thinks the suns are going to be picking at 6 - which they were till an hour before the draft when they get an offer to trade down with Minnesota - which by the way he said they could possibly trade down with earlier in the week.
He is not wrong about the draft picks because no one knew they were trading down until minutes before it happened.
He has been saying we were going to trade JJ and Warren for MONTHS - the fact you think he was not means you are not listening to him.
JJ has not been traded - but common sense is he does have negative value. How could he not - he is literally one of the most inefficent players in the league and has a salary of 7 million, and he has had two incidents off court in the last 2 months.
I don't care what windhorst is saying - he is wrong - if jackson did not have negative value he would have already been traded.
Gambo is also saying Melton will be traded very soon, and won't be on the summer league roster. Wanna bet he is wrong on that one?
Well, the Suns ARE about to sign a Melton clone for $8-10 million per season, so...
After all, why pay $900,000 for Melton when you can pay ten times that for the same bloody player?
And people wonder why the Suns have been so awful for so long...

Interesting stuff here if true...this guy is a writer for The Athletic.
I'm not really high on Rozier, but I could talk myself into him as an UFA back-up plan to DLo, given the alternatives.

Rozier is better than Cory Joseph, but that's not saying much.
I would rather have Beverley, Rubio, Wright, Tyus Jones, Teague or Rose before even considering Rozier.

D’Angelo Russell’s Nike shoe deal is set to expire this fall as well. Brands already have massive interest in the All-Star, but a move to LA would escalate his offers.

Yuck on Rozier. Particularly if we tie up substantial money to land him.

It sounds like the Suns do have interest in Russell but the Suns are not his first option.
