    Any way we can land 3 of those guys? Dray, Brooks, and OG?

    Brooks for vet minimum.

    Dray ops out of his contract to get a bigger long term deal, then feels disrespected by GS management not paying him enough so decides to stick it to them by signing the MLE with the Blazers.

    Blazers trade Ant and pick #23 for OG.

    He thought the MVP was like an all NBA or all-star vote and had to be 2 guards 2 forwards 1 center LMAO.

    No wonder GS got immensely better immediately after firing him as coach.

    How do Ayton and Paul sit out this game with a bruise and a sore groin?

    People don’t like him here but I’d love to have him here for a year or two?

    I don’t care, It’s the coach’s job to make sure his team is ready to compete.

    Do Suns want Ant & Nurk, picks for KD/Ayton?

    I agree but I just cannot see them sitting this game out? Something is terribly wrong with the team when a bruised rib keeps somebody on the sidelines for a close out game?

    I think they would want back what they paid to get Durant. Bridges, Cam Johnson, 4 unprotected draft picks and a pick swap.
    Plus something for Ayton.

    Not sure Ayton is much an upgrade from Nurk but adding KD to it would be great for Portland. I don’t think Phoenix does that deal and I have no idea if it could even happen with contracts?
