    depends. If he's willing to re-sign in Portland for 12-15M then maybe keep him. If he wants more or is wanting to exit, try and move him

    I love having him as an option off the bench. I think he’ll be a valuable guy for us this year, especially paired with Jrue and TC when we need to clamp down.

    We aren't close to contending. Assets are most important in that scenario. No reason to fall in love with a guy thats our 9th man.

    I'm fine with moving him but some 2nd round pick that we'll just sell for cash does nothing for our future.

    I'd think we should keep him unless he's part of a trade that nets us a 1st or a better player. He's not going to fetch that on his own but maybe could help get that value in a larger deal.

    I’m looking at wing depth….

    Framework

    To Phoenix:
    MIL 1RP (with added protection)

    To Portland:
    Ryan Dunn

    The Suns are high on Dunn and it’d take something like this for them to bite — they’re also entering tax hell and must stay below the second apron after stretching Beal.

    For Portland, you’re getting an elite defender who can be Camara-like.

    Yeah without giving up guys who are going to get significant PT there's no point in acquiring anybody but prospects that will need a lot of work before they need a lot of PT.
