This tweet about the Nuggets may want to reset if they flame out in the playoffs left me amused.

In what world would they trade Jokic for Durant? Sign me up… please.

In our freaking dreams! Second Apron be damned if Jokic wanted to come to the Valley. Imagine him and Booker? He could probably even make Beal look good on Beal cutting to the basket. However, even with the Joker, we need some parts around him. Still, that would be a nice problem to have.

Actually, the only way this works, is A) Suns have to get under the second apron. B) Suns would probably have to trade BOTH KD and Booker to Denver.

Jokic & KD pairing in Denver is what that report is implying. I don’t see it from the Suns perspective.

I don't see it either way. Denver has been reluctant to pay big dollars to upgrade their team.

I’m pretty sure they mean Denver trading for KD to play WITH Jokic.

This makes more sense, as GatorAz pointed out as well, but the Nuggets have been reluctant to pay for roster upgrades.

I wish they were a suitor for Durant. The more, the better, but I doubt it.

I obviously misread it. I would trade our WHOLE team for Jokic, LOL!

Yeah, I misread it initially as well, but in the world where Luka Doncic is traded, anything is possible.

There will be a lot of speculation about Durant's value in the coming days.

Warriors down 2 GP2 makes a perfect fake and then hits Draymond for a layup to tie it and Draymond blows the bunny and they lose. Have to beat Memphis in the play in. Curry's thumb looked ok more concerned about Butler he took a knee from Kawhi to his left thigh late in the game and was clearly hurting.

Brutal, Curry was brilliant but had 2 critical turnovers in the OT, Harden and Kawhi were terrific. But it all came down to Draymond missing the bunny

It’s kind of crazy to think it has to be Grizz or GSW. They are both superior to Mavs and Kings.

They are saying Beal will not play another game in a Suns uniform. They were careful not say that doesn't mean Beal won't be on the roster. I would imagine there is a tad posturing here to convince Beal to waive his NTC to see if a deal is possible before they do some sort of waive process.

Who is "they"? I take anything "they" say with a grain of salt at this point. Beal is such a weird and unprecedented situation.

Sorry Burns and Gambo. Didn't sound like speculation to me. That's also why I said "posturing". It could be the team is leaking that to him on purpose.
