Looking at the haul the Kings got for this trade, makes you wonder if Dallas was looking to offload Luka just to get rid of a problem child.

The LaVine contract is so terrible that the kings got 3 firsts to eat it.

Hard to see how we can move Beal.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Man… teams making BIG moves!

 

[Yuma]

This trade deadline is way better than normal so far!

Wrong. It's because Fox is so much more valuable.

Jimmy Butler is still in play. He is reportedly unwilling to sign an extension with the Warriors.

Man, I gotta give Butler credit for working the system. I just hope we don't give away the farm, or that this deal falls through.

I hope the Suns have other irons in the fire, such as trading Nurkic. Banking on trading for Butler is risky business.

Totally agree. I feel like having Booker and KD, and being under the second apron would be way better than trying to big three our way forward. Unless that third guy is a big that can rim protect and play his ass off defensively.

I question a player’s judgement if he doesn’t want to play with Steph. He’s the most unselfish superstar this generation.

The Suns would need a miracle to trade Beal, but we shall see.

It might be easier to trade Nurkic and/or Allen.

I tend to agree, but there must be a boatload of maneuvering out there we know nothing about.

Also, would the Warriors give Butler an extension?

Again you aren’t using logic. Dallas could hate him like he was a demon and that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get max value for him.

It must be magic. Now you see it, now you don't.

Seeing what Sacramento and Dallas are doing makes me feel better about the Suns.

I really don’t understand why you want to give up more assets and an extension to a 35 year old

The Suns went this direction, not me. I can understand their thinking though if they want to make a run at the playoffs.

well, there goes Fox. Another one I would traded Booker for.

They let Caruso go for a ham sandwich and he has the most value of the bunch right now. The Bulls are a terribly ran organization.

No, the opposite.

The Kings got Lavine and 1st rounders for Fox while the Bulls got a 1st rounder (their own, protected 1-10 in 2025, 1-8 in 2026 and 2027, if not conveyed, a 2nd rounder in 2028) for Lavine.

Since his value must be similar (minus the NTC) to Beal's, it gives us hope of moving Beal without heavy sacrifices.
