The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Setting Up for a SFA

[Vincent Van Goat]

if that’s all the Suns gave up Portland HAD to have been in the race. I feel they didn’t wanna include Simons in the deal

4 unprotected picks and two 3 and D wings... I mean that's not a small haul

 

[Coupé It]

KD and Booker have the window, with Ayton, damn

Yea man, the Suns can be around for while.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Russ
Crowder
Wall

Who else on the buyout market?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It was clear as day that KD would ask out after the return from the Mavs trade. Now the Nets are stuck with Ben Simmons and role players. What a terrible fumble all around.

Not at all

They have a million tradable players and now 4 unprotected picks

That's a great way to rebuild

If Brooklyn has even competent management they could be a playoff bound team with this haul.

Nobody even talking Superbowl this week. NBA knows drama

 

[essential1]

A team with a good 5 and depth could beat the Suns.

 

[noblekane]

Suns are thin on defense though. I think Denver still beats them

denver aint beating nobody man

 

[lovehateself]

So KD getting an honorary pass on the Valley Metro ?

 

[storm2006]

Ainge gonna gamble on Lavine or wut

Why would Ainge do that? Utah is not winning **** anytime soon. Especially after this Phoenix news.

Bro

Suns didn't give up ****

****ing Pick Swaps

How does KD get you that return? Make it make sense, man. That Core 4

This report is disrespectful because it only further confirms they purposely didn’t send KAI to the Lakers because that’s what he wanted. Where as KD has been less of a headache so they collaborated with him. That’s why you have to be careful other here with your employer

Suns loaded the clip but that windows gonna be tight, right?

The window’s gonna be tight but that’s a deep 4

I give them this season + two more (aka the remainder of CP3’s contract). Maybe 3 because that is how many years KD has left

Not really considering Booker and Ayton's ages

[elpablo21]

Alright I read that **** wrong. I thought most those picks are swaps

The 2027 and 2029 might be decent

Dunno what Ainge has been thinking this whole season

From what folks here told me, they were a player away from competing when I said they should be racing to Victor or Scoot

KD’s 34, I figure when CP goes then that means KD has 1-2 years left after him. So it’s a 2 or 3-year window.

Simmons Szn in BK

I hear you and agree but I’m just speaking more on the players they got back and the rumored players they could have had in the summer. Just seems they fumbled the whole thing but they did recoup some assets for sure. Rockets are celebrating this move too

 

[beh235]

Nets FO is a bunch of bozos

 

[elpablo21]

That **** just killed whatever tomorrow could bring

 

[nelson999]

which NTer is this

I think we are in agreement and saying the same thing
