    Just became available from Brooklyn. 24 years old, elite defender, can score points in bunches. If he's the right price, he could be what Turner is not.

    Perfect Olshey type of pickup, but depends on what offers he can get.

    I think we’re set on wings that can’t shoot.

    Since he was on the grapes aisle in Piggy Wiggly's.

    Seriously, I like RHJ, but we need shooting at every position, which is one of the reasons we let Davis go.

    no thanks. What does he do better than Turner?

    TJ Warren, otoh, is interesting. I dig his contract too.



    His shooting is so improved. Can be our mainstay 3.

    Defense sucks though. I'm not saying I wouldn't want him but having a bad wing defender isn't ideal.

    Honestly, I kinda like Jackson too. He was a year older than the guys in his class, but I like his skillset. He needs a better environment.

    I’ve been on the Warren train and Jackson wouldn’t be a bad reclamation project.

    I liked Jackson in the draft but can't stand his game now that I've seen him play. Terrible basketball IQ and a couple of off court issues. I'd be surprised if Olshey was interested in someone like that.

    Another indication that BK has something up their sleeve. This clears his caphold and opens about 7 mil more space.

    They’re gonna land Irving and KD imo.

    Suns don’t have any bigs under contract next season outside of Ayton. Give em Leonard and our pick for Warren and sign KOQ for the minimum.

    They already got Bridges. Makes sense that they'd move one of these other guys. Wonder if we can get Warren for capsapce and our pick.

    The Suns already have the 32nd pick and are looking to trade the #6 pick for a more established PG. I'm not sure if they really would give much value to the 25th pick.

    Having extra assets is never a bad thing.

    That's assuming the Suns think the 25th pick is a better asset than Warren.

    His contract isn't really a negative one though. Sure, the extra year would give teams pause but I don't think it kills his value that much especially if he produces.
