Hilarious. Love HTP. Although, Booker is going to get heavy doses of Luka in a Lakers uniform.

The Heat would, literally, be better off getting absolutely nothing for Butler than getting Beal on that contract.

That's how I see it as well. If he picks up his option, I'd just waive his ass. Nobody has the cap room to sign him to an equal contract.

 

[leclerc]

I honestly love it that some players are getting run over by organizations. Far too often we've seen these crybabies trying to switch clubs. If you sign a contract you are supposed to play it out. That is how contracts work. You might get traded. That is part of the game. Look at your payslip. This is for running around and bouncing a ball through a hoop. Come on.

if you're getting paid like a all-star - and not playing anywhere near like one - you're gonna be traded

Unless you have a no trade clause.

Beat me to it.

true - you can come off the bench - with no chance of being said all-star again

 

[Superbone]

I think his all-star ship has sailed but yeah, maybe if he were the #1 player on a team again. But, it sounds like a steady home environment is more important to him and his family.

Report: Suns Don't Plan to Trade Kevin Durant; Open To Offers, Interested in Kuminga

Luka Dončić, Anthony Davis and De'Aaron Fox may not be the only stars shockingly traded ahead of the NBA's Feb. 6 trade deadline—there remains the faint…

I don’t think we could unload him even without a NTC. Nobody wants to blow thru the aprons/tax for a borderline top-50 player. We made our bed.

I don’t think he even sniffs top 100 right now.

He’s producing like a mid tier starting guard… when he’s healthy, and he’s rarely healthy.

If it wasn’t Jake Fischer it would raise my eyebrows, but that guy is correct less than flex in Jersey.

But the local radio guys today were talking about hoping the Suns send Durant to Houston, something they wouldn’t broach even a few weeks ago.

how about if you're getting paid like one of the 5 best players in the world and you're not even an All-Star?

 

[Mainstreet]

Former Phoenix Sun John Shumate passed away at the age of 72.

Rest in Peace.

Not if you have a No trade clause, and aren't afraid to use it.

Well that is ridiculous.

He is a good scorer. He will still average 25 ppg on any team he is the primary option. That certainly makes him top 100.

I get Suns fans are angry at him because he has not produced like we hoped, but our expectations were not reasonable. There is no team in history that had 3 guys averaging 25 a night. There just aren't enough possessions in a game for that to happen.

In retrospect the trade was just a bad idea. We knew he was not a good defender or rebounder, or a great spot up shooter. Paying 50 million a year for him to effectively be a role player just makes no sense - because his one elite skill is being able to ISO better than an average player, and we already had 2 guys better than him at that.

 

[Proximo]

Are you talking about Booker?

Because to me I am more disappointed with him. He has no excuse at having a lack of opportunities, he has just had a bad season. But everyone considered him a top 12 player going into this season, and he certainly has not played like it.

Oh please let this be true. Kuminga plus picks is really not a bad deal at all at this stage of KD's career.

your booker hater thread not doing so good huh?

Yeah… top 50 does not exist in this dojo for Beal anymore.

Yup. I’d be all over that.

Then trade Booker to Houston for most of our picks back and we’re looking at at a solid start to rebuild off with two promising young AND athletic players and a boat load of picks.
