They finally found a way to trade Beal.
The only way to keep the fans staying. Gone were the rivalries during Colangelo’s years, and how they almost draft the best point guards. But they made a big swing with Booker/KD/Beal just missed big. They should move Booker too, get as much picks from all 3 and do a total rebuilt.

I think fans would have chucked their bobbleheads at the court
Windhorst said the other day that Suns fans will be disappointed with the return
Yeah. Rent-A-Center Jason Statham ain't salvaging what Phoenix gave up for him.
holy bro. That 2027 pick is ing gold baseline bum
2029 too
He'd lose face going back to the Warriors... On paper young talent wise, I think it's a toss up between us and the Rockets. But they are the second seed this year, we aren't. Can't argue that.
He's also gonna be chasing that last big check, and he isn't worth the money. Dude is gonna be 37 at the start of next season.
If this was NBA2K, I'd love to see Wemby paired with KD, but there are better ways to spend that money

If this was NBA2K, I'd love to see Wemby paired with KD, but Phoenix is a prime example of how his name doesn't guarantee wins. He was healthy most of this season (along with Booker) and the Suns still only won 2 more games than the Spurs.
How many picks of Phoenix's do the Rockets have? 3?
The Suns really have to try and trade Durant there and try and get at least one of them back plus a couple of young players. I don't see them getting a better return than that.
On the latest Lowe podcast where he had Simmons as a guest, they seem to think that KD would be willing to extend for cheap if he goes to the right team. The thought being that KD will understand the ramifications of the apron era and that no one is trading for him if it's going to mean 3 years and $150MM.
We'll see how it plays out.
Rockets have an unprotected swap on the Suns pick in 2025 as well as 2029 and own the Suns pick unprotected in 2027.
If KD is willing to take a 2 years, $60 million extension I'm probably trying to trade for him this summer.
I don't have any opinions either way at this point... but I think Lowe and Simmons were suggesting even lower than that. They seem really bearish on the market for KD in the apron era.
I don't see it, he's still likely an All NBA player so I don't see him signing for Keldon level money. I very much agree the market will be very bearish for KD though at age 37 which is why I keep suggesting Vassell, Keldon, and either the ATL 2025 or the Spurs 2029 for him. I would absolutely jump at the opportunity to replace Evin & Kelon with a real player and even at 2 years, $60 million he's probably not much of a luxury tax concern for Wemby's first year of supermax now. Especially since they could just frontload the out of the extension. Though I really want to see another Spurs le before being sent to El Salvador.
To say the suns are re ed is an insult to the mentally disabled community. $75 per for booker? Really, trade his ass for picks, get rid of Beal for cheap, and trade Durant for picks too. If I were them I’d trade both booker and Durant to the rockets for all the picks back plus salary matches.
imo it was obvious suns would go this route. theyre going to keep Booker and move every and anything else to build around him. he's their franchise guy.
should they trade book and blow it up... yeah probably. his value can only drop from here. what if he gets hurt. has a down year. then he's going to look too expensive for another team to trade for. but it never seemed realisitc that they would trade booker while he's still in his 20s. yes i know "you never know look at luka..." but that was arguably the most shocking trade in the history of pro sports
I wish we had some future Phoenix picks..
In his game 82 media availability, Book basically came out and directly said he wasn’t going through another rebuild. That’s a non-starter, I think.
As it currently stands with the cap situation it would be impossible for the Spurs to trade for KD without a 3rd team getting involved due to the suns being in cap and not being able to trade multiple players for one player.
They wouldn’t be doing that, they’d be trading one player (KD) for multiple players.
Phoenix actually called the Rockets at the deadline to propose a KD trade
Yea I said a few pages back that I think KD ends up a Rocket this offseason. Just makes too much sense for both parties tbh. And he would help their scoring woes.
yeah i have about 85% confidence that Houston will land KD. makes sense on all fronts. he goes to a team capable of competing. its a team that needs to consolidate some and needs a go-to alpha scorer. and they own the Suns picks
