TRADES

[Phrazbit]

With the Suns current cap projection are we even allowed to do a sign and trade? It seems like Kuzma is an impossibility.

I've only seen Kuzma mentioned once today and that was a sub-tweet. Most of the rumors involve other players.

John Gambadoro says the trade rumors about Beal are accurate.

I'm beginning to think this is a Father's Day conspiracy to keep men home and celebrating on Sunday.

Gambo’s still the best insider this team has.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Some collateral damage already.

If we could get Daniel Gafford somehow in a Beal trade, that would be great. Dude is sneaky good.

 

[Sunburst]

Prefer Ayton for Porzingis instead of going after Beal.

If Suns can somehow land Kumza with that deal even better.

Paul & Shamet for Beal & Morris

Ayton & Cam Payne for Capela & Collins

Ishbia would be paying out his *** in luxury tax but damn that would be one hell of a roster especially if they can get Thomas Bryant at back up C and draft a guy scorer like Emoni Bates in second round.

Capela / Bryant
Collins / Bazley
Durant / Bates
Beal / minimum deal
Booker / Morris / Lee

Sounds good in theory but can Beal stay healthy has missed a lot of games for years…

His injury history is rough but to get a guy of his caliber for Paul is too good to pass up on.

We’ve been crossing our fingers that Paul could be flipped for a couple decent role players or maybe even cutting him so we can get a few more mil on the MLE… Beal on the other hand is a legit all star.

Kellen Olsen on Beal and Cap

"There’s still an unknown of serious handicaps in the long term.

Beal, Booker and Durant for the next three seasons would combine to make $130.4 million, $151.4 million and $162.4 million, respectively. The Suns would almost assuredly be locking themselves into the second tax apron, a part of the new collective bargaining agreement that all teams are anticipating to be factored in starting next season that includes restrictions for the NBA’s highest spenders."

Also, I have been thinking, IDK the new CBA, but the players have always had that teams MUST have a minimum number of players on the roster. In years past I think that was 12. So if you violate the apron, they can't make it so you cannot get to 12 players. There has to be some compromise on this Apron issue.

No matter what, you can always sign minimum contracts.

We could field the full roster… it would be extremely top-heavy, but it can be done.

 

[Mainstreet]

If Miami is not interested in Beal this should put the Suns in good position.

Ishbia is sure pushing chips into the middle of the table, is Lady Luck on his side?

I guess we gotta bet Book and KD to work those phones for vet min guys.

Just discreetly hit refresh on the AZ Sports app on your phone under the table....

I don't have the app on my phone, only as a home page on my laptop. Is something magical supposed to happen?

Maybe a 3-4 way trade with the Suns finding a loophole on the Apron!

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns can find a third star and build a better playoff roster, it does a lot to change the outlook.

I hope this is not all pie in the sky stuff. It would be a downer.

Btw, I do want draft picks for dessert.

That no trade clause allows him to wield a decent amount of power if they are that desperate to move off his contract.

 

[Proximo]

I don't like trading for Beal. They will have no depth and I don't think Beal and Booker in the backcourt would work.

It would work. Booker is a point.
