That just came across my email.

I hope Butler is healthy and in shape. They're supposed to get Kuminga back soon until they do they can't win without Wiggins and Anderson unless Butler is healthy enough to play right away.

He's a good player but they got smaller and Wiggs was having a very good year.

The UCLA fan in me was hoping Jaquez would be in the deal
Also has Lindy Waters and a protected first round pick 1-10 Warriors keep.

I guess Wiggs goes to Miami, Schroder to Utah and Kyle goes to Toronto. Bummed for Kyle he grew up a Warriors fan said it was a dream come true for him to be with them

I also heard that Butler will sign an extension with GS. Am I imagining that he told them he would not sign an extension if they traded for him? :shrug:

Flex is saying Riley did everything in his power to keep jimmy from getting his way, and that he had a better offer than what he accepted from GS.

Flex is saying him saying no to GS was just because he was trying to force his way here but Riley was not having it.

It’s better than getting stuck with the anchor of a jimmy butler contract.

At least this way KD is likely to be traded this off-season.

Still actually hoping Houston makes us a last minute big offer.
KD is a better trade asset than Butler. I too am breathing a sigh of relief, too.

I don’t really think he is. Butler has put multiple teams on his back and rose to the occasion when it’s mattered most something KD has never done and actually shied away from.

KD is more talented no doubt but he’s not that dog Jimmy is.

MaybE true, but I still think you get more in return for KD than Butler. Teams were calling us when the rumor got out he's available.

I really grew to like Wiggs I know he had a big falloff for whatever his personal issues were in the past but he had a good year this year. I will never forget that dunk over Luka in the last championship season

nobody's coming man - team is adrift - out at sea yet again - haven't seen dry land since golden state - bud kicked nurk off the raft months ago - poor guy's just been hanging on floating alongside - we ate josh okogie a couple weeks ago - not one of our proudest moments but we were desperate - we've literally been out at sea half of the season and nobody's coming - this is who we got

I think the Suns today faced the brutal realization that the 2031 pick is viewed as being far far more valuable than these 3 trash, pick swap laden 1sts.

Another self-defeat.

If JJ doesn’t pull the trigger today he needs to be gone tomorrow. I have a feeling we are doing the same song and dance. JJ loves to put his players in trade rumors then do nothing.

KD trade value ain’t gonna go up in the off-season
