    Spurs fans want Booker. Maybe Joe can get in there and swindle a 3 way ?

    Wonder what two lottery picks in this years draft and either Grant, Simons or Brogdon gets you?

    there’s got to be some playoff teams that would love to have one of those 3 veterans.

    I really hope they don't try to fast track us to get better by trading for a vet. Didn't work with adding Grant and Brogdon.

    I think the Suns front office is still in denial and is going to run their trio back.

    Phoenix is fun! Other then the playoffs, they did better then i thought they would. They won a bunch of games, and their fans can watch games on TV for hella cheap.

    It's a completely opposite approach in Portland. Horrible basketball, ridicoulous cable prices, blacked out games, benching starters, and a closed door Front Office.

    If the Suns front office is in somewhat denial, at least they have open doors and approachable management.

    I get the tanking for picks, trust the process. But after watching soo many beatdowns for 3 years straight, and teams like Houston & Atlanta get top picks...

    ... it makes Portland look like dorks

    Brother… the Suns future looks bleak as fuck. They don’t own their picks forever. Durant is 35. Beal is terrible and has one of the worst contracts in the league. They have no depth. No point guard. They just got swept out of the playoffs in the first round. They’re completely screwed.

    Our future looks a million times better right now.

    They’re committed. Their only choice is to completely blow it up for any picks they can get their hands on. Send out Booker and Durant. They’re stuck with Beal.

    Nate -- not looking to start anything -- but WHY - Do you think the teams future looks bright ?

    As long as Billups is the coach this team is kind of doomed and I am leaving Cronin out of this since I know we do not agree on that point at all -- LOL

    Our best player is a retired HOF coach.

    It was ping pong day. Fans were supposed to be lighting fireworks, and instead we see media labeling the bad bounce as financial benefits for Jody.

    The Suns got smeared in the playoffs. They have no picks. Just like the dumbass Clippers. It skips the part they win.. it makes the season fun. Even if PHX/LAC had a pick, it would stink.

    We can bash on teams that don't have picks now, but eventually those team's lost picks will come back around.

    If the Blazers don't clear house, and truly trust the process, they might get stuck in the rebuilding loop.

    TRADE TRADE TRADE, i don't know why it stopped. Hoping this summer will shed more answers.

    Because they’re completely boxed in. They don’t have their own picks. They got completely destroyed in the playoffs while healthy. What can they do to change it?

    Won’t make a difference. The roster is massively flawed.

    If Joe Cronin is reading, he can have this idea for free...

    Ant for Ivey + 5
    At 5, select Donovan Clingan
    Select Cody Williams at 7
    Trade Brogdon + 14 to Chi for 11 and the rights to our pick back (hearing conflicting things about the Bulls ownership of our pick and how it affects our swap with the Bucks)
    At 10, select Tidjan Salaun

    That's how you get a lot bigger and longer with defense in mind.

    Then trade Grant, Thybulle for picks.

    PG - Scoot, Ivey
    SG - Shae, Ivey
    SF - Cody, Camara
    PF - Walker, Salaun
    C - Ayton, Clingan

    look, they got suckered by the Blazers. It's not the Suns fault. Cronin & Billups padded the hell out of Drew Eubanks stats, and Phoenix honestly thought they were signing a double double backup Center. Instead they got a worse version of the Spurs G-League Eubanks, and the typical "what happened to Nassir?" setup.

    I'm pretty sure we can get #5 straight across for Anfernee. Can probably get Ivey thrown in the deal too.
