The suns have like zero draft picks

Almost literally

They have no future

Getting their picks from the rockets let’s them pivot into a rebuild

WhT are they gonna do, just trade KD, cut the hornets they got and waste bookers prime only to trade him for half the value at 32/33??
Makes sense to me, they should do that.

Sadly no one listens to me.

But combining the trades from their 2 stars alone would give them an infusion of picks to make the 31 they just traded pretty worthless if they do it right

Yep you usually know your shit and this seems like the way they should go. Haven’t they been kinda dumb since the new owner took over?

Not entirely true they did make a deal w/ Utah in late January to recover three late firsts.

But your point is solid. If they rebuild they shouldn’t halfass it. Trade all three of Booker/Beal/KD if you can…

He doesn’t wanna rebuild

The good news is that means their lows could be closer to clipper like since he’s willing to spend money

The bad news is they’re short sighted and aimless for now

That’s why I said almost

I’m curious if they don’t trade down this year to try and get more picks

Even if just a later pick this year (round 2) and another future second or two

Beal is literally the most untradeable contract in the league

Who did you root for tonight?
Does it matter? One team is falling apart at the scenes, while the other consists of players maybe too young to understand the old Pistons rivalry… Way the Pacers are playing now however (even w/o Siakam tonight) they may take Detroit in five or maybe even sweep.

Miami trading their pick this year plus rozier Duncan and Anderson for KD works

Heat pick is worth more than 2 late firsts

I think there’s a good chance kd is a Heat next season or unless the rockets get involved

For one more year

Then he’s the biggest trade exception in the league
Even more reason I’d take him in Denver… Beal is not worthy of all this hate. When healthy, he’s remained productive in what has been a less than ideal basketball situation.

I would take him on the Nuggets with two of those mentioned Utah picks for MPJ….

Would be a very bad move for a rebuilding team to pay to move Beal’s contract.

Just wait until it is expiring, or let it come off the books.
