Disagree about Booker. He was a -5 in a blowout and most of his turnovers were him simply making poor decisions on passes. I thought he actually had a solid game.

Booker is fine...as long as he isn't being counted on as the primary facilitator. He really needs to be left to play his natural shooting guard position. He is more Reggie Miller, Rex Chapman or Klay Thompson than Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or James Harden.

Anderson, Jackson and the Milwaukee pick for Butler and Tyus Jones.

Actually it has to be two separate trades.
Anderson and the Milwaukee pick for Jimmy

then
JJ for Tyus and Justin Patton.

Both trades work. Think of them as one, but you have to separate them to avoid trading Ryan in combo with another player. This team cannot stand another year of poor play losing without even competing.

Even if Jimmy is a rental, he will play D.

Between the Suns and the Cardinals, it sure is a joyful time for sports fans in Arizona.

Booker did most turn overs trying to make assists.

McD and Sarver should have thought of that before leaving us bereft of an NBA level point guard heading into the regular season...

Yeah, I was about to ask how we are planning to drug the Wolves' GM first.

Let's trade Bender and Ariza for KD while we are at it.
If we were smart it would have been Dudley and Chandler for KD! :)

Why don't we get Sarver to buy GS. Ruin them. Then we can overtake them!

What do you all think Miami is offering? Truly.

Not sure, but probably more than a useless player with two years left on his contract at almost $20M per year, a useless pick, and a wild second-year player who has been awful so far. Literally anything they offer would be better than what you proposed.
Would you trade Booker for Anderson, Jackson, and a crappy first-round pick?

Oh wait! Hell no. The Suns are WAY more enjoyable to watch than the Cards right now. Not even close. LOL!

Yeah, I am actually still enjoying the two suns blowouts.

Ayton is learning, you have to experience failure to learn. Warren is playing like an all star and somehow has a three point shot. Booker's game is better, although he is trying to do too much. Bridges looks like he has a ton of potential.

I am not going to let the fact Anderson, Ariza and Jackson have been cold as ice the last 2 games ruin the season for me, they can and will get hot again.

Butler is a rental for whoever gets him. I doubt they are getting very good offers. Not trying to make a case for my example, I was just throwing that out there. Jackson probably has a bit of value around the league still. I am ready to commit to Bridges though. I think its time to move Jackson. The longer we wait, the less value he will have.

Count me in on the TJ starting bandwagon. The main reason I think he was moved to the bench is because we needed someone to space the floor as a stretch 4 and Anderson was meant to play that role. So far though, TJ has been better with the 3 ball AND better on D. Seriously, TJ got switched on to Steph at one point and played the best defense on him all night. Anderson to the bench please, and I'd also consider starting Bridges over Ariza.

Also, I think Booker at PG needs to be dialed way back. It's fine in short stretches, but they ran it from the start of the 4th, and I think it wore Booker out. 2-5 mins at the end of the game max.

I don't understand peoples fascination with the starting lineup.

As EJ said, TJ actually has more opportunities going against the second units.

He should stay as the sixth man, who the heck else could be that person on this team right now?

They just need to start playing him 30+ minutes a night.
