    Yeah, the nine man rotation of Smart, Brogdon, Brown, Tatum, R Williams III, Horford, G Williams, White and Gallinari should take up every competitive minute of every game this season. So it would be cool for them if they got LaMarcus, just like it's cool that they have Pritchard because you need depth in case of injury but as long as they're healthy those nine guys should be able to hold it down.

    Any team could use Aldridge for 10-12 minutes a game. He’s still serviceable. It’s okay for your bench to have a few warts defensively.

    Hate to say I agree though. Blazers could use him as well.

    Getting back Wiseman and having Kuminga and Moody a year older will help the ageing Warriors as well. DiVincenco will be a nice addition as well.

    That deal makes sense. I’d also think it should put an end to KD to the Suns rumors.

    Turner has seemed to be on the trading blocks for a while now. I wonder why. Either way Indianapolis is getting a good deal IMO if that's all they are giving up

    If it's a S&T Turner likely going to BKN, no?

    IMO Turner would be a better fit in Phoenix than Ayton.
    I like this option for the Suns.

    Blazer fans have convinced themselves that Myles Turner is someone he isn't. Extremely mediocre. I remember years ago when people kept bringing up Marvin Williams as if he would be our savior. The Suns losing Ayton for Turner is a numerous steps down from where they are now. No question.

    he's an expiring contract. i think if Myles Turner on the last year of his deal is all they get for Ayton, that's a disaster for Phoenix (and great for us). Indiana has been actively shopping Turner for years.

    I completely thought when he left Portland that he’d be playing baseball within a couple years. I was flat out wrong.
