The deal gives the Suns a nice Big 3, at least on paper. Paul, Booker and Ayton should be a really good nucleus, with the caveat that Paul has to stay healthy and he's had a tough time doing that. The Suns are going to have to do a lot of filling in since the roster is now pretty thin, but I suspect that they have some moves in mind. The Thunder look like they'll be taking a step back.

Yeah as long as Dame & CJ play 40+ minutes each game we'll be fine

The very first trade to be announced, before the draft and before free agency, and already people are in the "Blazers aren't going to do anything"panic mode.

I think we have to be legitimately concerned about Phoenix. They were by far the hottest team of the bubble. Adding CP3 to that roster is a pretty good boon for them if he can stay healthy.
 
I’m wondering what Dame thinks about this trade? I know he has always liked Booker.
Now you add Chris Paul.

I still really like Bridges too.
But I wonder if the Suns weren't better off with Rubio at the helm? They did end the year 10-1 with him.
 
When is this guy who started this thread going to finally CONCEDE that we were already discussing this in another thread. Just admit you LOST bro.

Oh, I agree that Phoenix is a threat. On paper, this move makes them better since CP3 can shoot and Rubio is a bit challenged in that department. Still, he's long in the tooth and has never been known for durability.

My comment related to the immediate triggering by the very first trade of the "Portland ain't doing crap" posts.

When are you going to admit that you would be the most happy if every single post was added to the Melo thread? ;)

(shrug) Just like you can count on some Blazer fans to denigrate every move made by other teams.

You're wasting your breath. Some Blazer fans confuse rooting for their team with never giving other teams or players any credit.

And Lebron is old!
 
Get him, then re-sign him. Funny thing, he was the poster boy for the Suns "The Valley" alternate jerseys. But he has it all, and would be fantastic here IMO.
 
Guess the Suns are all set now at the crucial position of Insurance Salesperson.

I don’t know about “by far.” They went 8-0. We were 6-2 with a tougher schedule.

Weird considering we made a LOT of moves last offseason.

I'm not worried about the quantity of moves.... I'm most concerned with the quality of the moves.

We made a LOT last offseason, but few were GOOD moves.
