I hope the Suns are checking for spinoff or waived players in these trades.

Why does OKC want this? There are so many other potent weapons out there that they could acquire with all those assets. This guys if often broken and overpaid but I think he's expiring.

That should help them a little, but with the ridiculous amount of assets they have, I would have aimed higher if I were them.

Pistons trade Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks to the Knicks.

It's hard to figure out the Thunder, but they like to acquire assets while hanging onto their draft picks.

I think I answered that out of order. OKC covets their draft picks, all while trying to improve.

Knicks are actually becoming a real threat in the East.

I'm not worried about the East too much right now but Dallas got better with Gafford.

Way to much in my opinion.

They only have so many roster spots, and already have a lot of young players in the process of developing. They should be looking to add quality veterans now - as their title window would open immediately.

 

[Proximo]

They did, but they still aren't a top 3 team in the West after that move - so honestly I don't care that much about it because I still think the Suns can beat them.

They have been a real threat since the OG trade. Been playing better than anyone else since that trade.

The Suns appear to be screwed.

If best case is getting Royce O'Neal then today is going to have negligible effect on the team.

I agree with you about the Knicks.

In regard to Dallas, that's what we thought a couple of seasons ago, too.

They clearly have no confidence in using Little, so trading him for a guy that will almost certainly make the main rotation makes us a better team. Maybe not the on court impact that Miles Bridges could have provided, but helps nonetheless.

In regard to Dallas, that's what we thought a couple of seasons ago, too.

And I still believe the Suns never should have lost that series, because clearly we were the better team.

If your point is upsets happen sometimes - sure they do.

Seems to me that is about all we have to hope for because at this point it is clear the Suns talent is going to be inferior to Denver and the Clippers.

I'm not excited about it either but I think Phoenix is all about finding a rotation they can rely on.

Stiil, I hope for more, but the Suns pockets are near empty.

I just don't think he will help much at all, but if it happens I guess we will see.

The Nuggets are proven, but I measure the Suns by the Clippers. Yes, the Suns need more talent on their bench to compete with them.

In some of these trades, teams are going to have to trade or waive players. The Suns should be looking at these moves.
