Now does this trade set the price on other trades? Is the asking price for someone like Butler now lower?

Yeah, I think it drops the bottom out of the market until the summer for most of the trades.

Utah got very little out of facilitating the trade.

They didn't have to eat much, either.

Nah, we need to work it in the other direction.

Durant for Giannis!

Lakers will be flawed this year. I'm wondering if they let LeBron walk now? Make this Luka's team going forward.

Lakers don’t care about this year.

Lakers don’t care about this year.

Obviously. Just wondering if lakers don't resign LeBron?

The Suns went to the Finals with Ayton. How far did they get with Nurkic?

In the season before Ayton was traded, he was averaging 18.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 0.8 blocks. Bottom line, the trade did not fix the center position.

I think the Suns would be a better team today with Ayton and Camara than an absent Nurkic. In retrospect, if the Suns were determined to trade Ayton, they would have been better off looking for a better trade.

If you are happier with Allen, good for you.

Since the Nets are rebuilding, using draft picks was simply an easy way to measure the trade for Durant.

No we wouldn’t. Because any talent Ayton has above Nurkic would be totally offset by the problems that guy has with his dome. The Suns would be no better off. Regardless if Nurk did or didn’t fix the center position the fact of the matter it did need to be fixed.

Give me Nick Richard’s over Ayton and twice on Sunday if he keep playing like he is.
