I don't know... is Jakob Poetl the "superstar" he was covertly referencing in his tweet of a week ago?
I don't know, I thought it might be worth considering especially if it includes the #9 pick.
I’d take Keldon Johnson over the 9th pick but we’d have to pay him next year. Vassell is an average wing. San Antonio is a bad trade partner.
Which is it? We are in a unique position to get a "superstar" or are we trading basically for role players and the #9? Got to give it to Flex. He is trying to cover all his bases.
No way. There is simply no way this team helps the Spurs land a player that could haunt us for years.
The Spurs to me are irrelevant now. Yeah, we have history, but whatever. I'm not threatened by them with or without DA, especially with Pop so close to retiring.
Actually I think he is special, just not quite special enough to carry a team to a championship. To be fair, I think that's true of all but maybe one or two players.
I only care about how it impacts the Suns.
I will believe Pop retires when I see it. Also, it's not DA by himself that's the issue. Like most NBA players, if you are an UFA or part of trade talks you want to go to a team with solid pieces. It makes them more attractive as a team to draw in other players.
Trading a potential star seldom works. But if we're forced to move him, I like the suggested San Antonio deal as long as it includes a top 10 pick. If we trade DA, we're getting less than equal value no matter who we deal with IMO.
