    Even knowing what you know now? Shaedon and Ant for OG? I wouldn't do that trade if I were the Blazers

    My guess is Cam Payne is a salary cap move. SA is under the cap, they can take his $6.5MM expiring salary, and they get a little bonus for their trouble. Not a back backup PG for them.

    I wouldn't do that trade with Bea Arthurs GM.

    it's a cap move for both teams. Phoenix needs to get below the 2nd apron and the Spurs need to stay above the salary floor

    seems a little strange to have Ayton, Eubanks, and Bol at C

    or maybe it just seems strange to a Blazer fan used to half-time Nurkic as the only C

    Just saw the tweet. The Suns have two players remaining from their 2021 finals team: Booker and Ayton.

    The real question is: can you challenge a flop?

    If they don’t win a ring before KD is toast that will go down as a terrible terrible trade.

    I guess. Only one team wins a year. They definitely are going for it. Maybe nort being able to acquire as much roster depth as they needed would be the real reason. When you roll the dice, you are taking chances obviously.
    They weren't going to win it BEFORE the trade, so why not go for it.
