Suns Off-season Thread

[Praxis]

It will look closer to the CP3 package

 

[Covert Rain]

This is gonna sound weird to some, but If we get KD, Booker is officially is superstar.

It's going to be hard to key on Book if KD is floating everywhere else.

 

[Mainstreet]

Those guys were younger.

I answered that in my reply to Folster. The Nets will want what the market bears.

 

[somethingshesaid]

I have meant to ask this. Before the Chris Paul trade, did people know it at least might be coming? I don't mean twitter twits like Flex, whoever that is. I mean did the teams leak word to the media so that every Suns fan heard they might get Chris Paul. Or was everyone astonished?

Been in the works for a while

 

[Proximo]

I believe Flex nailed the Chris Paul trade too.

He did, and several injuries / covid timetables. I have zero doubt in my mind he has an inside suns source.

I get it. Granted they are old, but book would’ve pulled two HOFers to the suns. That says a LOT.

JJ is not as incompetent as some of you think

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes. I've mentioned it as well. It's nice to have company. He has missed some as well but that's the nature of sports.

 

[Proximo]

No he is not dead wrong. Flex has gotten plenty of stuff wrong too. Cheese, Hoop and a bunch of us have listed stuff numerous times. No doubt he has someone feeding his info but he is full of crap often too. I called EXACTLY how Flex would try to take credit like he was right about the KD trade. Local media quashed that he was EVER an opportunity prior to today. His own damn agent has been trying KD to talk to the nets since July. That didn't happen until today because Durant had not made up his mind. Evne then he gave the Nets a list.

I can't help you if you can't think logically.

Stuff changes. Nobody on Earth including the Suns GM would be right if you hold them to those standards.

He has to nail this KD thing, but aside from CP3, he’s largely been worthless

He got some of that wrong too. Swore that Book's nose wasn't broken. Prematurely said Book was cleared. Also, stated one of the most ridiculous of all the claims that the NBA was considering rescheduling games to accommodate CP3's Covid.

That's why his info is weird. Sometimes he gets stuff right and sometimes he couldn't be more full of crap.

You are the exact kind of person he loves. Say general crap and you fill in the blanks so you think he is right. Take both positions so there is always an out (things change). LOL.

What about the times he deleted Tweets after getting blasted on Twitter?

Yeah...logical.

You mean the most important acquisition since Barkley?

It's like running a read option in football. Things happen fast.

 

[Proximo]

We'll see. I hope you are right, but in the past he has a tendancy to give up too much in trades.

Stuff like that--ultimately, the continued embarrassments at being wrong (even if by listening to the wrong information)--is what makes me want to just shut up and quit messing with rumor. Either spreading it or just listening to it.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Well of course but that doesn’t mean the age is automatically discounted. It’s a factor in negotiations and value.

In Flex's defense he is still fun to read. I mean even rumor sometimes are fun to read. Flex definitely has gotten better at gaslighting. He used to be way more specific, and we he got things wrong just deleted Tweets. He tends to be more general now or play both sides to give him an out. At the very least he is learning the game. The funny thing is? I have been reading Flex's stuff from the very start. So, have other's here. It's just some of us call him out on his crap.

He says now he is hanging it all up this season. So there is that.

Let’s see him pull it off and what he negotiates and then what he backfills the roster with before we crown him. So far we know this:

KD who is under contract with nets for years has asked for a trade.

KD likes suns.

Literally that’s all we know. But we should somehow credit jones?

 

[mjb21aztd]

Please come to suns kd

A trio of cp3 book durant if healthy would be fun as heck good potential

Will find out ton or later this week probably.... fingers crossed edibles rdy for kd lol

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s not true. Cam Johnson was nice pick. Cam Payne was nice signing. Mcgee was nice signing. Biyombo was nice signing.

Were those giant steps? No. But positives. Also plenty of stubbed toes. But KD for a reasonable package would vault him considerably.

The downside, if the Suns can't get Durant it will put them behind in free agency. A lot of players will be off the table.

KD didn't even make up his mind until now. He wasn't even talking to the Nets. There were no negotiations between teams, no verbal deals or anything with the Suns. Yeah..I don't know how Jones gets credit either. All the previous speculation was just that.

I will give credit to Jones when the deal is done.

This is what worries me. If these negotiations stretch out? We could lose out unless the Suns are going to be trade crazy.

It does show how far the Suns have come.

Fans would have laughed a few years ago at the idea of Durant wanting to come to the Suns.
