Chris Paul didn’t have enough value to get multiple good pieces for him.

Portland has players that actually play defense. A reason why theyre able to stay in games and not get blown out.

Yeah Safari definitely seems like the way to go.
Just annoying when literally everything I do is on Chrome, and I don’t have any ad issues on any other website.

What else could they have gotten instead though
I feel like it was a salary dump for Washington
When beal comes back they’re gonna be pretty damb good

How would they fill out the roster?
Chris Paul's value was in the tank, and only other option it that seem like got any traction was Jordan Poole.

Actually don’t think the suns need a Pg if beal can ever stay on the Damb floor
They’re all pretty quick decision makers and don’t dribble the air out of the ball 24/7

Might've opted for Poole because he's younger and doesn't miss games.

They don't need one“Suns don’t need a PG”
Heh
Booker can play it
But I rather have Booker being the best SG in the league compared vs being a top 10 PG.
The original plan was for Beal to handle the ball more

That’s not a great plan. Beal as playmaker is above avg to good. And with the age and injury, it’s looking like avg now.
So that leaves you with Book. Who’s not truly a natural playmaker/pg creator. And 2 Above avg to good wing playmakers in Beal & KD
At best, it’s 2022 Celtics type stuff. At worst, it looks like this

Booker right now is playing like one of the better PGs in the league. He averages over 8 assists a game. Dudes not hitting shots
I feel his main weakness at point is that he plays too slow at times.
We have barely seen Beal this season
Like I said, the Suns have had numerous games where they have outlier quarters were they get blown out.
I just think Booker being off the ball more would be the best way to utilize him.

Lowe has mentioned this as well that Booker’s passing has been exceptional
They’ve just been hit with too many injuries

Seems disingenuous to just gloss over Beal’s absence like it doesn’t mean much with the whole “they need a PG thing”. If you take a major cog off any team in the league it’s gonna have a major effect. Especially when that cog makes up like a third of your cap sheet.
Moving an older and frequently banged up CP for a more willing and able scorer in Beal (who is also frequently banged up) made sense. Not sure what other options were out there.
Reserving judgment for when the 3 of them actually get to play with each other for a bit. 55 games to go. Plenty of time.

All things considered I think the Suns biggest issue at point is not that Booker has to play it.
But the fact they don't have a serviceable back-up
Booker sits, it is a **** show.
Beal not being there makes matters worse. Because the plan was the stagger his and Booker's minutes
