See that MB!

And Booker and Ayton and Paul. This team has already been snake bit this year with injuries hopefully there are more moves to be made to help shore up the roster.

The track record for these types of trades have been disastrous.
It is not just "Title or bust", but a bust that will leave us in ruin for a while.

Frank Kaminsky is my Hero.
I get that, but Mikal’s primary role on this team was to be a lockdown defender and he’s simply not that despite what many think. I do think that JJ is going to have to find a perimeter defender before the deadline. The gravity that Ayton pulls away from the perimeter is going to help immensely for KD, Book and CP3 and vice versa if the shots are falling. Legitimately, we have the most potent offensive package in the NBA.
No pick swaps would be nice.

Man we let both Cam and Mikal go….that’s tough. I get why we did it, but man….lol.

CP3 just needs to be 2016 Peyton Manning at this point.
Mikal is probably my all time favorite player so I'm sad he won't be a lifer. Anything less than a title would make this hurt too much.

He can still score. When healthy.

I'm sick at the price Phoenix paid. I don't think James Jones would have done this without encouragement.

They keep Cam J and Bridges, the twins, together. That's kinda cool.

Yes he was. And he's played at that level this season, when he's played. But AD was a top player too and I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole either. And Durant has missed more games the past 4 years than AD has. The Lakers made a similarly risky trade to get Davis and it paid off for them. Hope we have the same luck but we won't have the bubble year working for us like they did.
I know this has many here excited and I wish I could join in the excitement but to me, it's the worst Suns news I've ever heard as a lifelong Suns fan. Don't want to rain on anyone else's parade here though so I'll try to keep my negative feelings on this trade to a minimum going forward.

I am going to get my KD Suns jersey soon!
Woj tweeted there is also one pick swap in 2028.

(Formerly offset) i have a special purpose
In a short term bubble we traded Bridges for Durant and Johnson for Warren. That is a pretty significant short term improvement.

I have watched KD his whole career, and every team he is on, they play around on offense for 20 seconds, get locked down, and desperately throw it to KD as the clock is winding down, and he hits the shot! KD is the ultimate bail out guy. Also, now what are the odds that BOTH Booker and KD will be cold on the same night? This just ramps up the consistency on our offense.
