Suns Off-season Thread

[Mainstreet]

See above. According to WOJ it's between the Suns and Miami.

It's been out on twitter for awhile.

I know. Just the more it's reiterated and the more it's reported the more likely it is. Also, I had not heard the Suns stance that they WILL NOT gut the team in any deal. I mean you can assume they won't but it sounds like they have their limit. I wouldn't expect to see Cam J, Bridges and Ayton for example based on that.

I would expect Cam J or Bridges to be part of that deal.

 

[Covert Rain]

That's as plausible as the man suddenly wanting to play for the Suns.

I am OK with KD only picking the Suns for his prospects of revenge.

Works for me.

98.7 just reported that per WOJ the Suns are now focused on working out a deal for KD. Per WOJ the Suns will NOT gut the entire team to get him. Also, the Nets have expressed to him that they will go with the best deal available for KD. The two primary teams are Suns and Miami.

The part with the Nets seems like posturing though. KD isn't going where he doesn't want to go.

We can offer more than Miami if Ayton/Bridges are in the deal. The best piece Miami has to trade is Herro, but he alone doesn’t match the Ayton/Bridges combo.

I guess now we’ll see if Ayton is truly worth the Max. I mean, there could be a universe where NJ doesn’t offer him the Max and that kills the deal.

Big odds for the Suns!

[ASUCHRIS]

If this goes down it will be a multi-team deal IMO.

Suns Twitter is on fire

They are talking about this on New York radio right now. I am trying to listen to that and local. FRACK. I am not getting any work done the past couple days. LOL.

Now the current rumor by idiots is that we are trading Book for Durant.

Except we CAN'T because of the same rule that prohibits Bam from being traded to Brooklyn.

Gambo squashed that. He said the Suns are not trading Booker. It's not on the table. The Suns have told the Nets they will NOT gut the team.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Forget this. This is when talks begin and end.

Lol. That’s just stupid. Nothing from Alex Golden should ever be posted on ASFN again.

 

[Folster]

Gambo just said on air he got a message that the Nets don't want Ayton...

 

[Covert Rain]

Oh no. GAMBO said a really good source just told him the NETS don't want Ayton. So they must be asking for Book. This could be posturing though. I mean you ask for the world if you are the NETS. It could be they will take Ayton.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

May cost Ayton...Bridges and Cam..plus multiple picks.

That is gutting the team.

 

[Proximo]

No, it just means we have to do a 3 way deal

 

[Folster]

It has to be a multi-team deal now.

 

[Covert Rain]

Not to panic yet. This could be posturing. It's also possible the Nets want contracts they could shed. Dario, J...etc. They could be asking for CAM J, Bridges, Picks etc. instead.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Gambo just said on air he got a message that the Nets don't want Ayton...

This was my fear… that like the Suns, other teams in the league just don’t value Ayton the way Ayton values himself.

 

[Raindog]

That ain't happening.

 

[Finito]

No, it just means we have to do a 3 way deal

I think this is how it gets done you trade Ayton for picks and then send those picks to the Nets

If there trading KD and Kyrie there going full rebuild

 

[Proximo]

KD will not want to come to the Suns if Book is in the trade, so there is zero chance of that.

We can offer more than Miami if Ayton/Bridges are in the deal. The best piece Miami has to trade is Herro, but he alone doesn’t match the Ayton/Bridges combo.

As I was saying…

KD waiting for five minutes before FA starts to do this was stupid.
