NY for me.

I'm rooting for the Mavs. Kyrie has been one of my favorite players, and Suns should have drafted Luka anyway...

Pardon my lurking in these parts, but I don't know why the Mavs & Suns are supposed to hate each other. The Nash & Matrix connection has always made the Suns a team I like if the Mavs aren't in the mix & I was rooting for yall in 21. Your support is welcome & hopefully your team gives you more to smile about in the coming years. We also went up 2-0 in the Finals only to lose and had rough years following. But 5 years later... so you never know. Booker is still young. Surround him with better pieces and a good coach it could be a different story in a few years.

Get rid of them. Doesn't matter what the return is.

You had me until "build around Booker". I've never really liked the guy, but by now it should be obvious to everyone he's not a guy you build around. I want him traded yesterday for as much as we can get but if we don't do that I want him to be kept on the roster with the mindset we have our 2nd or 3rd best player already.

I don't know. He had a good year stat wise. Can't really pin it all on him. I think we get close, tbh. Some team like NYK will be desperate to get over the hump

Woof.

I was all for the KD trade at the time and have no regrets, but it’s time to admit defeat there and recoup whatever assets we can. Lu Dort, Cason Wallace and 2-3 picks would be nice. KD has talked like he wants to go back to OKC and they could use him I guess.

If you keep one of them, it better be Book. God help me if it's beal

OKC is run pretty shrewdly. I doubt they want a 36-year-old with health issues. He had a healthy year but he's still a big injury risk going forward. If OKC traded for him we'd get matching salary and maybe 1 pick.

I feel cursed being a fan of all valley teams sans the Cardinals but you can't just jump ship man. Not allowed

"Let me address some of the Deandre Ayton rumors. The Suns have not been willing to move DA all summer because they think he fits well and there were no offers that would change that. If Nurkic was on the table I would be surprised if the Suns didn't look into it because an argument could be made that is an upgrade for Phx," wrote Gambo.
