    Now you're catching on!

    Being hard capped in a season you couldn't contend is equally as bad a giving up 4 first round picks for two bench players.

    No, he played until 4 minutes left in the game when they pulled him for Hardaway who is a starter while Wood isn't.

    We are not getting Bridges from the Nets. He is the prize they got for KD. Maybe someone else, but not him.

    Literally on the FIRST DAY Mat Ishbia takes over ownership of the Suns, he brings KD to the franchise. That’s amazing.

    Call me crazy, I don't know if the suns got better. Paper-thin depth on a team that's going to very injury prone (between Paul, Booker, and KD). I admire the all-in move, but the defense is going to be way worse, they're injury-prone, and relatively old now. I think they go as far as Durant takes them (and have a good supporting cast for him with lots of shooting and room to work).

    Ant + Sharpe + the NY pick = Bridges + Cam Thomas
    I really like Sharpe. And Ant is just hitting his stride. But I'm in on that deal and not looking back. Need another pick?
    Ant +2 firsts for Bridges? Yup.

    Probably right, but they desperately need some scoring. Defense looks amazing between DFS, Simmons, and Bridges, but they won't be able to buy a bucket. I wonder if we could pry DFS? Not sure what an attractive package would be. Definitely wouldn't trade Ant for him.

    i'd be pretty damn happy with Johnson as well.

    too bad this KD stuff didn't shake loose two days ago when we still had the Roco TPE to simply absorb Cam.

    Blazers gained around $3M in cap room from the proposed trade. It might not be finished though. Might be a 3rd team involved to complete the deal or Portland sends another small contract like GB3 back to NYK.

    Correct, as is 2022. Which is why neither of those years are in bold.

    Can't combine players after they were just traded for, can you? I thought an acquired player could only be moved in a 1-for-1 for a while.
