I thought with the whole second apron thing you can’t get buy out guys anymore?

I’m truly surprised people think this is a bad trade for the suns

I agree. They couldn’t run it back with the same cast. This is probably the best

Mr. Rumsfield

There is some worry about taking on what is considered

Huge Manatee

6/19/23 12:06am

those are the long term consequences. This is a short term move.

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 12:18am

Well, not quite accurate.

We’ll see what other players they add, but I’m expecting Booker at pg

I'm shocked anyone other than a fantasy owner would think this was a good deal. Teams win titles. It requires

I guess we’ll see. I don’t see it the way you do, but there is still work to do

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 5:27am

They’re over the luxury cap with just 4 guys. Yeah it’s a bad deal.

Ned Schneebly

6/19/23 2:27am

It’s a good trade. CP is not gonna help with the offense they prefer to run with

Jay Kay

6/19/23 3:02am

I'm divided on the trade

Jackson Sparks

6/19/23 4:59am

A lot of ifs in your argument

BYULAWGUY

6/19/23 5:06am

You said it

Carnac

6/19/23 5:14am

They sold out the future with KD, not Beal. They traded a 38 year old for him

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 5:25am

Opportunity Cost

Carnac

6/19/23 5:59am

What were they getting for CP3? Nothing…they can still trade Ayton for depth

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 8:44am

Totally agree. CP isn’t going to bring in more than one role player.

Jay Kay

6/19/23 9:32am

I think people forget just how bad our depth was last year already

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 9:43am

The only way this deal works is if they get a bunch of studs on minimums

JuicyJam

6/19/23 8:15am

Forgot about that. Brutal for them if that kicks in this yr

JoeExotic

6/19/23 8:35am

I believe if they were on a contract over the MLE, suns can’t acquire via buyout

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 8:46am

The real problem is the Gobert trade to Minnesota last year jacked up the

NorthernLight

6/19/23 8:28am

The suns didn’t give up picks for Beal, Just CP3, Shamet, pick swaps, and 2nds

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 8:47am

"Just"

Carnac

6/19/23 8:55am

You really think 2nd round picks matter that much?

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 9:16am

When you don't have any #1s....

Carnac

6/19/23 9:26am

You can buy picks every year in round 2…I’m losing zero sleep over those

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 9:37am

It’s a great trade for the Suns

riseandshout

6/19/23 6:28am

They're trying to win now and I get it

RockyBalboa

6/19/23 8:12am

Not sure why you think Booker is soft. His issues are mental. Hero ball and

NorthernLight

Show me a player who has complained about a mascot waving his arms.....or crying

byubyu

6/19/23 11:28am

Show me someone getting double teamed in a pick up game and I’ll show you

Jay Kay

6/19/23 11:33am

Waiting for the video of someone else complaining about a mascot.

byubyu

6/19/23 11:43am

Booker would've gone home had he faced this defense-

byubyu

6/19/23 11:45am

Looks like a practice

Jay Kay

6/19/23 11:56am

The double team stuff is so stupid…can’t believe he still gets crap for that

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 11:58am

Kevin Pelton gave the Suns a D grade for the trade.

byubyu

6/19/23 11:05am

Ya I don’t agree. Zach Lowe, Sam Vecenie, and Nekias Duncan all liked it

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 11:14am

How will you feel when the Suns don't win a championship in the next 5 yrs or if ...

ManicBlue

6/19/23 11:20am

It’s hard to win. At least they are going for it

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 11:32am

Definitely can't blame them for trying. IMO, they went about it the wrong way but we'll see.

ManicBlue

6/19/23 12:56pm

What would you have done? Everyone says this but has no answer

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 1:04pm

I've answered this a couple times.

ManicBlue

6/19/23 1:38pm

I’m not sure you understand how far CP3 fell off. His mid range shot wasn’t good

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 1:43pm

We'll see huh?

ManicBlue

6/19/23 1:46pm

He’s going to be 39 next playoffs…he’s not going to get better

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 1:59pm

Sure he's not an all-star but neither is Beal. You're still stuck with Beal's contract for like ... ever.

ManicBlue

6/19/23 2:15pm

I mean that’s what everyone was saying after the KD trade and we still got Beal

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 3:25pm

You know my thoughts already. IMO, Beal will end up hurting the Suns more than helping but we'll see. Maybe

ManicBlue

6/19/23 3:46pm

Sounds good to me…my main point is that the cost for Beal didn’t matter

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 3:57pm

RE: Sounds good to me…my main point is that the cost for Beal didn’t matter

ManicBlue

6/19/23 4:22pm

That’s not really my concern right now. Just focused on the next 2-3 years

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 6:31pm

As I've said, good luck with 3 good players and bottom of the barrel players you can get cheap.

ManicBlue

6/19/23 6:40pm

I don’t think Paul gives the suns anything. He’s never been healthy.

Jay Kay

6/19/23 1:47pm

They probably all liked the KD trade as well.

byubyu

6/19/23 11:24am

Your point?

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 11:32am

The point is that was an awful trade. And alot of those guys probably thought it

byubyu

6/19/23 1:17pm

I think it’s funny you’ve already made up your mind on that trade

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 1:18pm

I'll remember this post when KD asks for another trade.

byubyu

6/19/23 1:20pm

They had a better record after the trade and that’s with KD only playing 8 games

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 1:39pm

Hey if you think you got better, more power to you.

byubyu

6/19/23 1:56pm

Now there’s a team that got worse…Luka and the Mavs not even in the play-in
