I guess he is the agent for Towns as well.

Lon Babby?

I have zero doubt the Suns could make a deal for DLO today if they want to.

But to work salary wise, it would probably have to include Kelly or Rubio.

Which I think makes it unlikely.

Suns can get there without these two players, e.g., Tyler Johnson, Baynes, Saric and Kaminsky.

We have no bench and are going to struggle to bring in free agents, yet, the solution is to give away not only our second best player who’s 21 years old, but also TWO unprotected picks in the process?? That’s two opportunities to get a significant playmaker for this team that it wouldn’t get in free agency

In addition, you inherit KAT’s albatross contract, which further hinders your ability to add depth to the roster.

Moreover, is KAT even worth sacrificing your franchise to acquire? In the end, you get a player who’s unathletic and lazy on defense.

The reality is, if KAT is better than Ayton, it’s not by much, and unquestionably not two unprotected firsts better than him. I get that fans are looking for instant results, but KAT’s not the solution to our problems.

Im not looking for instant results, unless you say relevancy or some sort of excitement is the instant result.

We are not a championship team right now....in fact we are once again a bottom dweller. We are not going to become anything close to a championship team unless we become releavant or exciting...period.

This slow build, decades long process of getting to medicority is not working.

I don't care if Ayton becomes a better individual player than KAT. IF that happens in 5 years, then we will have Ayton and a bunch of scrubs, because no one wants to come here.

You get D-Lo, Booker, and Kat....and even if it doesn't go perfectly, we become a team that matters in the league. I want that...those are the results Im looking for.

Ok, technically that may work - I guess that is possible since all of those contracts other than Kaminsky expire at the end of the year.

And Kaminsky is a team option.

I hope the Suns have kicked the tires on Russell because the rest of the season appears bleak. Suns can't attract top free agents.

One thing the Suns need to be careful of is ensuring any pick they trade conveys before 2022, the supposed double draft that will have high schoolers.

I'm not crazy about that draft but I think having a mid to late 1st round pick for that draft could be more valuable than a high lottery pick. There will be more players hyped as having upside and potential entering the league straight from high school that will never amount to anything. We've seen it before and we'll start seeing it again. That will push players that are generally late lottery picks like Mikal, TJ Warren, Kennard, Shai, etc down to mid to late 1st round territory.

I hope they can stockpile a couple of extra 2nd rounders that year also because it should be a good year to take actual college kids.

If for some reasons the Suns suck that year, and I hope they don't, that will be the year to trade down for multiple pick rather than taking a flyer on a high school kid. We've seen enough "one and done" players bust here recently, I'd rather not watch a high schooler flame out in hopes he's the 2nd coming of Amare.

Interesting perspective. And I think you’re right, but only to an extent. Even in the heyday of high school to nba there were only a small handful of high schoolers selected relatively high each year. Many tumbled to later in the first and second round and many didn’t get drafted. Even Kobe went in double digits if memory serves. And I think today’s teams are much more skeptical. Hence Lecque going undrafted.

Memphis and Miami are focusing on a two-team deal on Andre Iguodala, with Miami and Oklahoma City still unable to reach an agreement on a three-team trade that would land Danilo Gallinari with the Heat, league sources tell ESPN. Talks are fluid until 3 PM.

Miami has agreed to trade Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters and James Johnson to Memphis for Andre Iguodala, Solomon Hill and Jae Crowder, league sources tell ESPN. No picks in the deal.

Ok, how do we do acquire a good scoring Sixth Man then? You say that like there is a deal waiting to take place but almost all of the deals happening right now involve 1st round picks, whether starters are involved or not. If a Sixth Man were available some other way, why hasn't that happened? Word is that the 1st rounder in the Kennard deal is what held things up because Okobo and Carter weren't enough on their own. It's not like the Suns have a lot of other young pieces that will bring back a return. So again, how do they acquire a Sixth man without parting with a 1st round pick?

You are assuming I meant right away. Look at out history. We have had tons of combo guard types who score come through the Suns. Heck almost every team we play has former Suns guards on their squad. It's the bigs we have been historically bad at picking up. I don't sweat us finding small forwards or guards in free agency next season. We doi it all the time. Oubre was a good pick up.(Yes I know he was a trade) I am talking in general we always get these kind of guys. Do we need to spend a first round pick on one? i am saying if we are shopping our first round pick I would rather get a big with that pick.

Memphis has all but solidified the 8th spot. All we can do is watch now.


What really upsetting is the move Dallas made for Stein.

I'm willing to watch but the Suns really need a bump. Suns gave the appearance of going through the motions in Detroit. It could be a tough remainder of the season.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm tired of the Suns being such a secretive organization. Listening to Empire of the Suns this morning, the Suns reportedly are not in the habit of initiating contact with the national media or other general managers such as being proactive in trade talk.

My guess there is nothing to it. When Woj says it, I will listen.

So the Suns couldn't top this. Discouraging.

My guess is that the Suns didn't even try. Worst run organization in sports right now.
