Because teams quit guarding Okogie beyond the arc in October. It doesn't stop him from taking them.

The way things are going I expect Isiah Thomas to have complete control of the franchise by the draft.Some other cold water for consideration looking forward to the '24 draft where the Suns will very likely have to hit it out of the park with whoever they pick. If James Jones is still in charge (heaven forbid), you can probably look forward to the Suns trading down once or twice so JJ can pick some 26 year old, 6-5 wing who can't shoot, plays a little defense, but "hustles" and sounds good in an interview. In other words, Okogie 2.0.
That's if he doesn't trade out of the draft altogether.
Rubio and Cavs may part.
Grayson for McConnell.
That's terrible. Hadn't heard anything about that.Rubio is damaged goods. In Spain now for mental health problems and many think his career is over. At the very least, people are saying he isn't going to play this year, no matter where he's at.
Yeah he lost his mother (and his grandmother) and it hit him hard. I think injuries took a toll on him too.That's terrible. Hadn't heard anything about that.
Grayson has to have more value than McConnell.
I think we need a PG and McConnell helps there but IMO, our biggest problem remains unanswered by this trade. We have a dearth of talent - two borderline superstars and a couple of decent rotation players all dragged down by far too many end of bench players. The talent deficit shrinks considerably when we get Beal (and Okogie) back healthy but if Vogel can't find a way to get quality minutes out of a few of those borderline rotation players we added this summer, we're screwed.I don’t see why.
If so, let ‘em throw in some incentives.

Grayson is a borderline starter, first guard off the bench sort of rotation player. He can help any contender looking to add a SG or SF for depth, insurance, or to compete with a starter. Straight up, no salary consideration, and he's worth a 1st round pick in the late teens or twenties.
TJ is a steady backup PG at best. He's not a scorer, great shooter, or above average defender. He's really not much better than Cam Payne, if he is even better. He shouldn't see minutes at the end of games and he shouldn't be starting either. He's a good backup, nothing more or less. In a trade he might fetch a pair of 2nd rounders, at most. No one would consider trading a 1st for him.
Just simple value says Grayson would have more than TJ. If you asked every coach in the league who they'd rather have as part of their playoff rotation, I'd be surprised if any picked TJ over Grayson. Contracts are similar, Grayson is expiring, so he makes the perfect rental for a contender
I just don't see how someone who has barely been in their teams rotation has more value than someone who has been a starter almost all year on teams with similar records.
Straight up, I don't see how that makes us better. We'd be losing one of our best, arguably our best, role players for a guy who would really see time when Booker and KD sit. I don't see Vogel changing the offense because we got TJ McConnell.
