His numbers are better than Williams.

Oh Joy. That is a sarcastic remark.

I have to push back a bit on this statement. How many wide open looks you think he was getting with Charlotte? He will be open all the time next to Luka and Kyrie.

He's going to get a whole lot more open looks playing with Luka/Kyrie. His overall production might be down, but his efficiency should go up.

Yeah, but are they Seth Curry + a 1st rounder better - I don't think so.
You have to look at all the moves and where guys are playing. Mavs are better.
I'm fine with that trade but I'd prefer it was only 2 picks instead of 3. 3 is too many, IMO. We don't have many and I'd rather hang onto them. I can already see us moving our draft pick for a handful of 2nd round picks this upcoming draft to replenish our cupboards with 2nd rounders.
I don't mind. Second round picks are statistically useless unless they are in a move anyway.

Man.. NY has made some good moves here to bolster their squad.
We had 4 to trade and now we have 1. That's why I'm not a fan of giving them all up now. It makes moves harder to make this off-season and next year. Big picture, we're now essentially asset-less.
You were not going to get much for them now or later. So, I guess it depends on what the Suns though could help them now verses later. We can still trade our next 1st rounder on draft night and you can still do salary for salary trades.

The Bucks are going to be even harder to like. I wonder if we can get Cam Payne back.

Really? Cam Payne must have been really bad this year if they think that is an upgrade.

He played well against the Suns.
He used to have a good game here and there when he was here too. I don't put much stock in how he played against us.

They're struggling big time - new coach new team new major star dynamic - sure - let's add Patrick Drama-ly to the team

IMO, a backup point guard is better than none.

The Bucks should have kept Jrue Holiday.

Yeah, this was the trade that hit me in the stomach. I liked both players, especially Gafford.

I like Gifford too and getting rid of Grant Williams is a plus on its own. He sucks out loud.

He had 11 points on 10 shots. Suns fans continue to see something different when they watch him play.

The Suns could do a lot worse.
Not if you can't depend on said player but I don't want to rehash that again.
