Suns trade ideas for the fall of 2020

[Finito]

Aaron Gordon has to feel like the least loved player in the history of the nba.

he’s been on the block for 3 years it seems

interesting. Depending on who we give up, I dig it. He’s the general/floor leader that could take all these young guys and teach them how to win... until the second round.

but I’d take that! Depending on what they’d have to give up.

To make the salaries work it would be at least Oubre and Rubio... who knows if it would take more, and if so, how much more.

why am I even a damn fan. Why does this team hate me

you’d have to trade half the team to make the money match

Suns gets: Paul

OKC gets: Rubio, Oubre, Cam Johnson, Cam Payne and 10

only way OKC does that is for 10. There GM loves draft picks.

yeah... just came to same conclusion. Initially thought I’d want more for Oubre but if the above is what it takes and we still get to keep the 10th pick and go out and get a PF, if Paul’s legs don’t fall off, it not only vaults us into the playoffs, but I think possibly a 4 seed.

if we want to keep Book, we HAVE to start getting into the playoffs at minimum.

I’m not trading half the team for an ancient Chris Paul who before this run this year was pretty much on his death bed and hadn’t been healthy in a minute.

Paul is one of the greatest underachievers in the history of the NBA.

 

[Finito]

2 years 85 million left on that Paul contract lol

It wouldn’t take have the team, but I completely understand the sentiment.

Rubio, Oubre, Cam Johnson and Cam Payne is what it would take just to make the money match.

We are under the cap. We could do it with just Rubio and Oubre.

Nope.

rubio + oubre gets it done and would be a no brainer trade steal of the century type move.

 

[Proximo]

The 10th pick cant be included, and we have to ship out Ty Jerome for me to be down with this. I still would not like it though.

The Suns are under the salary cap so the salaries do not have to match.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah, lets totally screw ourselves out of a free agent power forward. NO.

 

[Proximo]

Nope.

rubio + oubre gets it done and would be a no brainer trade steal of the century type move.

Far from a no brainer deal. Paul is OLD and fragile.

We are doing them a favor by freeing up cap room. To me Oubre and Rubio alone is too high a price, if we throw in any draft picks I will be livid.

 

[JerkFace]

The Suns are under the salary cap so the salaries do not have to match.

I suck at the cap, but I think we could do it with just Rubio, Jerome, and Kaminsky (team option)... but I doubt that would get it done and it would kill all of our cap space.

Major value given that he

(1) is a perennial top5 real plus minus guy
(2) has shown no signs of slowing down
(3) has a high skill game that will almost certainly age gracefully in his 35/36 seasons
(4) fits a massive need as creator/scorer to spell Booker when he’s sitting.
(5) excellent defender and communicator on both ends of the floor to maximize potential of DA and other young pieces (Mikal and Cam especially)

 

[Finito]

Nope.

rubio + oubre gets it done and would be a no brainer trade steal of the century type move.

Are you kidding me?

trading for a 35 year old point guard who’s been injured the last 4 years and is owed almost 90 million is def not a steal of the century type trade.

I was just ready to post the Suns could do the trade with Rubio and some smaller contracts.

 

[Folster]

No thank you. That would be just like the Suns to be the last team holding the Chris Paul hot potato when the music stops playing.

dude he’s missed like 20+ games the last 4 years he’s always broke down at the end of the year.

fragile?

he missed two games last year and played 31mpg?

Rubio is absolutely a poor man’s Paul that isn’t nearly the shooter/scorer/clutch player. Oubre is walking next year anyway and is somewhat expendable anyway given Cam and Mikal’s development.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Phoenix is under cap though, aren't they? Can't a portion of CP3's salary be absorbed into the capspace?
