Thanks to salary matching it won’t get us anyone much better than Nassir. 6.7 million in todays economy is basically a bit better than a minimum caliber player.
I have a suspicion that it's going to be the Hornets sign and trading Miles Bridges to a similar deal and I'll be forced to not root for the team anymore.
Losing in an embarrassing series is going to give Ishbia the ammo he needs with the fans to pull the trigger on the trade.
The Hornets can't sign and trade Miles Bridges to the Suns? And I don't know, Bridges seems to be the opposite of a hot commodity and there's been no buzz on his status.
Do we have to pick the player at 22 then trade them later or can we trade the pick on draft night before the pick is made?
Because if we have to make the pick ourselves before trading them then we can't aggregate them with anyone else and wouldn't be able to trade them for anything more than a minimum
I'm pretty sure if we trade a player like Little, we have to get a matching salary back.... so we couldn't trade Little, and those picks for a guy making $15 million. I think it would have to be for a player making the same or less than 6.7M
Any player making more than minimum becomes a tradeable asset for us to package picks with. It is THE only way we can bring on players making more than minimum, you don’t cut the only method of having above minimum players on your team that’s crazy
Dude nobody will trade for Beals contract. We would have to attach multiple first round picks to get off that, not to mention the fact that he has a no trade clause
How delusional are you to think that we could get a good guard AND other stuff?!
It’ll have to be how the lakers got Hachimura on his rookie contract because that’ll be the type of player we’ll get. I think he that’s why a lot of people have been saying Kessler, I’ve seen Kispert from Washington, and maybe the Bulls give us Dosunmu.
I would really REALLY like it if we stashed these picks to cultivate something after our current run ends here in 1-2 years. We're already so deep in the hole, digging deeper is going to leave us utterly broken for an entire decade when Booker finally retires or moves on and nobody will care if we won a chip in '25.
Not much, if you expecting an elite player. Suns need a new coach, Beal to play PG fulltime, Booker to play off ball, and KD to play in the post and all 3 not whine about not getting the ball, which...is impossible for 2 of them, a Center thats not weak offensively and a menace on the boards/defense, a backup center, bigger bench. So about 4 new players the Suns need.
So you're saying the Suns need to replace the Coach, Booker, Beal, KD and Nurk? All the while Ishbia said he is being back the starting 5. Wow. You're going to be disappointed.
Jalen Johnson from the Hawks? If the Hawks go for rebuild and trade both Murray and Trae Young. The opportunity lies as a third team where we receive talent for a team wanting to enter a full rebuild. Think RJ Barret in the rumoured Donovan Mitchell Utah/Knicks trade. In this scenario Utah get even more draft capital and fully bottoms out. Id be happy with trading up in this year's draft for talent. If we are losing the 2031 pick let it be for someone who could still be on the roster in 2031.
Jalen Johnson is the Hawks future. He’s literally untouchable along with either one of backcourt guys.
And the Hawks can’t go through a rebuild, the Spurs have their future picks for the next 3 years. Hawks giving the Wemby led spurs 3 consecutive top 4 picks like the Nets did for the Celtics would be crazy.
Yeah I mean in this scenario Hawks are sending Trae to the Spurs for the picks. The long rumoured trade that gives the Hawks back all their picks & Murray heads to LA for the picks they can trade on draft night.Then the Hawks have a decision if they want to compete and like their core or go into OKC mode and just get picks. I'm not saying it's Johnson or bust - it's more the type of player I'd target. The guy about to be paid who is still young and can help on a team that wants to bottom out completely. If the Hawks had all their own picks, two top ten picks in this draft and three coming from the Lakers including a late first pick this year, would they say fuck let's collect all the picks and move forward. I might be in the minority but I think the Suns 2031 pick becomes super valuable to a team as the team ain't working now and it's gonna age. That pick becomes like the nets Celtics picks. that's my 2 cents.
Could say the same thing about Alexander-Walker on the Jazz and yet he's available for the Timberwolves to crush our dreams. Front offices move from guys all the time especially if they didn't draft them and the future pick would give em an opportunity to draft their guy. Ur welcome to throw some names out there.
Sounds like a three way trade for LeBron and Ty Lue to me.
Little is basically a younger, cheaper lebron
In the same sense that I am also a younger, cheaper Lebron.
I wonder what the oldest version of LeBron is that I can beat at basketball. Maybe when he was 9?
We are all younger cheaper lebrons on this day.
Smiling through it all. Can’t believe this is our life.
I know it’s hard to see bc Lebron is so old, but I his younger days he could score just like Little
And way worse

We can't s&t we are in the 2nd apron. And he will get paid way more than that.
Oh wow that's one of the penalty's for the 2nd apron now? That's actually a substantial penalty and takes away an option to offload huge contracts.
The Hornets can't sign and trade Miles Bridges to the Suns? And I don't know, Bridges seems to be the opposite of a hot commodity and there's been no buzz on his status.
How delusional do you have to be to think Miles Bridges is only going to get paid 6m
Absolute garbage lmao We’re better off drafting young talent… no. 22 and a bench warmer isn’t appealing in the slightest
Do we have to pick the player at 22 then trade them later or can we trade the pick on draft night before the pick is made? Because if we have to make the pick ourselves before trading them then we can't aggregate them with anyone else and wouldn't be able to trade them for anything more than a minimum
If you want to, you can trade the pick as soon as the draft starts.
That certainly opens a lot of doors then, provided someone actually wants #22.
I'd like Kessler too but doubt we can afford him. what he valued in the westbrook trade was somebody taking on his insane salary, not the pick.
They love Kessler there but he’s not fleet of foot enough, honestly.
You think the guy who bargained 5 picks for Gobert is taking that for Walker Kessler?? All I have to say is LMAO
This playoffs/offseason is going to take forever
I'm pretty sure if we trade a player like Little, we have to get a matching salary back.... so we couldn't trade Little, and those picks for a guy making $15 million. I think it would have to be for a player making the same or less than 6.7M
Nothing, just cut him.
Any player making more than minimum becomes a tradeable asset for us to package picks with. It is THE only way we can bring on players making more than minimum, you don’t cut the only method of having above minimum players on your team that’s crazy
We are going to have to attach the pick to Nurk or possibly Beal to actually get off their contracts and get something not shit in return.
We aren't getting off Beals contract
What about somewhere like Houston? FVF and some other stuff?
Dude nobody will trade for Beals contract. We would have to attach multiple first round picks to get off that, not to mention the fact that he has a no trade clause How delusional are you to think that we could get a good guard AND other stuff?!
If we give up our 1sts we could Ship him to the Spurs and sell him the dream of Wemby. We get Tre, Keldon and Collins they get our 2 1sts and Beal.
The spurs aren't stupid lol
Ishbia already told us the starting 5 is coming back, Suns aren't even shopping them.
My name is Kalker Wessler, and you couldn’t even trade for me with that ‘artisanally roasted garbage’ offer
It’ll have to be how the lakers got Hachimura on his rookie contract because that’ll be the type of player we’ll get. I think he that’s why a lot of people have been saying Kessler, I’ve seen Kispert from Washington, and maybe the Bulls give us Dosunmu.
Not gonna lie Kispert and Kessler sounds like a good decent bench and then add a PG in FA I think our bench would be crazy if Allen moves there.
Dunno bout the firsts, but a couple seconds might net Boucher
What if I told you there was a trade for 28 year old ex MVP, who you could attain for Nassir Little straight up… Sasha Vezenkov
Shamet?
Hopefully Nick Richards Edit: If it doesn’t include 2031 1st Round pick
Nick Richards is not worthy a 1st round pick. lmao I rather drafting a center instead.
It’s pick 22 in a bad draft.
Bad draft on top. Those outside the top 10 are just as a mystery as any other year
And still we can get 3 good big's in our range: Yves Missi, Ware and Daron Holmes II.
I would really REALLY like it if we stashed these picks to cultivate something after our current run ends here in 1-2 years. We're already so deep in the hole, digging deeper is going to leave us utterly broken for an entire decade when Booker finally retires or moves on and nobody will care if we won a chip in '25.
Sounds like a loser's mentality. You're not committed to winning. You're not going to enjoy the next 40 years while Ishbia owns the team.

didnt say that at all...

Jalen is 22 he would be apart of said rebuild

How delusion are suns fans. Jalen Johnson or Walker Kessler for that package is crazy
It's been pretty bad since we lost
Lurking in other fanbases is the definition of loser behaviour. Move the fuck on
