Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion Thread
Some people legit wanted to trade Scottie and gut the entire team for an old KD
Also Kawhi is done and it’s been that way for a while. Amazing player but damaged goods.

They should trade Booker. He will fetch the most. Trade him to OKC? They have the assets.
edit: would SGA and Booker work? I don't see why not.
It's still crazy to me that Booker is the only Sun left from the 2021 Finalists. Too much turnover.
It’s crazy Ishbia decided to mortgage their future when they were already legit contenders. Sure, Ayton was a problem but they could’ve retooled to try to win rather than these drastic moves that have actually made them worse. You can’t compete in the modern NBA without depth. Ishbia actually made them worse now and in the future (they have no assets left).
They are slowly creeping into "worst situation in the league" territory. Their only trade chip is also their best player - Booker.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion Thread
where are all the posters who wanted to trade for KD and Dame....giving up 10+ years of Barnes for 1 year of a failed playoff run.

The contract that Dame and Beal are having is going to hurt their team.

To bad for them. That team is going to look really ugly in a few years. I wonder how long Giannis stays before he bolts. Middleton, Lillard, and Lopez are declining and there isn't much there after them.

I feel like the Cavs should be a much better team with this roster.

Both Giannis and Dame with potential Achilles injuries. Not looking good for the Bucks. They probably wouldn’t even be able to trade them now until they are healthy.
All that plus they have Doc signed for the next 4 seasons

Trading their picks to the Nets was a disaster, but really, when you look at the trajectory of CP3 and Ayton, they made a good move getting off both of them.

They’d still be better off with the team they had prior to the big trades. I think the Suns are gonna make teams think twice moving forward about mortgaging their future for a few stars.

They’ve got 5 pretty good starters, plus a star in Mitchell, 6th man in Levert and other good shooters on the bench.
The coach is definitely getting fired if they lose this series.

Doc must be pretty relieved right now. He's off the hook now for this terrible season.
He can use the injury excuse.

Mitchell being their star is the problem....they're not going anywhere with him.

Yeah this is bad luck since I think Middleton and Lopez had enough in the tank this year to be major players on a champ. Next year? Not sure.
