I’m really ok with trading Oubre
Look, I love oubre. But he’s not a part of a legit “big 3.” He’s a fantastic fourth banana. But I think we might have a bunch of good fourth bananas with bridges, oubre, Rubio, cam when they are at peak.

We all wanted Clarke... we didn’t draft him. Cam has been better than expected. Get over it.

I just don’t get it. Like what do you get out of bringing up Clark every games. He’s not a Sun nothing’s going to change that.

I think Cam will be a real player. He’s got to gain weight but that shot is pure

Even having a subpar game most of the game when they needed him, morant stepped up. He’s exactly the type of player I thought he’d be and exactly the type of player I thought this team needed, and is exactly the type of player this team needs. A guy who can go get baskets to close out a game by himself.

I am flabbergasted to see that Barbosa is number 13 all time on the Suns scoring list.

And yet Cam hasn't been half the player Clarke has been, and we still have a gaping hole at power forward...a hole that has lost us at least a half dozen games so far.

Pure enough to be on fire one night and to shoot 33% or worse the next (including tonight).

Suns have a bunch of players that can't get the job done defensively.

When they put more scorers on the floor who can't play defense it only makes the situation worse.

Yea, Clarke is a stud. We all wanted to draft him. We didn’t. Get over it, the rest of us have.

Which was precisely my gripe on draft night with the joint acquisitions of Saric, Cam and Jerome. Even if they are on fire shooting, none of them has the physical tools to be able to defend in the NBA.

Oh so we’re not allowed to trade for a two-way player? Mainstreet, I understand the suns have sucked for a long time, but it’s not always a forgone conclusion that they will come out on the wrong side of any trade, which seems to be the position you’re taking, and doubling down upon.

more maybe having your young stud center suspended for 25 games has something to do with it.

your clarke thing is a little disturbing

The only way I will get over it is if James Jones shows awareness of his mistake, so he doesn't repeat it. Otherwise, I do not trust him to put together a competitive roster.

Unless we can clone Ayton, we still need a capable power forward next to him.

I'm not against any trade until I see it. However, there are other players I would trade before Oubre.

He’s our best trade chip. I’d trade him before Bridges.
Right now, Oubre is our second leading scorer with 17.5. Third when Ayton returns.

After Baynes 14.5, the next highest is 12.7. I wouldn't be too quick to give up Oubre unless we add a player who will average 18+ plus.

You don’t trust him to put together a winning team because of passing on Brandon Clarke?
