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

Torrey Craig was the Suns third best player in the playoffs and half this app thinks the Suns lost that deal? Sickos

Yet we still took 2 from Denver and upgraded Shamet to Bradley Beal, with more moves to come.

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

6/18/23 11:53pm

There is some worry about taking on what is considered

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.

ManicBlue

6/19/23 1:54am

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

PHXSUNS31

6/19/23 9:38am

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.

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

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

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

JoeExotic

6/19/23 5:36am

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

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

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

6/19/23 8:33am

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
