Phoenix Suns and Mercury CEO Josh Bartelstein is finalizing a new extension, further cementing the partnership with owner Mat Ishbia to shape business and basketball operations of both franchises, sources tell ESPN.

I am almost positive now Jalen Green is getting traded.

We didn't just sign Kennard and Spencer with no minutes available for them.

I have no idea who it would be for, maybe Sengun? Trey Murphy? I don't know, but I feel a deal is coming.

Kennard and Spence are not playing Jalen Green minutes, nor are they supplying Jalen Green points.
Spence is a novelty. Kennard will be backup SG alongside CG.

And on top of that you think we are getting another big?
We just got done running it back with Wiliams and gave up picks for Bridges.

Green for Murray and salary filler? I'd do that. Always liked Murray.

i wouldn't trust that account man

2 days ago, "Breaking News" said that Murray was already traded to San Antonio for De'Aarron Fox.

Im not putting any real stock in it but it's the offseason and we need something to talk about to pass the time. I've wanted Dejounte Murray since he was being shopped by San Antonio years back as well.

Well, we do like to spend big on players coming back from achilles injuries. But given that he's about to turn 30 and his first step is so important, I'd hesitate to pursue him unless there's a good reason not to (cap help, picks etc.)

I knew he was coming back from injury but didn't realize it was an achilles. That counts me out. I'd avoid anyone with an achilles injury.

I understand after any serious injuries you don’t return to how you were but is an achilles injury that bad? KD had one and was still productive.

I guess like what someone said about being a PG and having that quick step.

Until a few years ago it was considered a career ending injury. Since Kobe, several basketball players have gone through it and returned successfully but if I understand it correctly, many don't return to full form for up to 2 years after they are cleared to play. And counting on a player in his 30's to return to full form is a risk I would not want to take.

KD wasn't nearly as explosive as he was prior to the injury and also is 6'10". Murray's athleticism is a big part of his game so who knows how he'll bounce back.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not pushing for Murray, but he averaged 19.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in his first eight games back last season.

You seriously believe we can get a Sengun type player for Jalen Green?

A little perspective on the "value" of Green. Spoiler - he doesn't sniff this list.

 

[Phrazbit]

Murray is a lousy shooter and defender. I don't know how he helps us.

Oh... he's coming off an achillies AND an ACL.

Yeah... that is a hard pass.

The list that has Harden well ahead of Cooper Flagg and Kawhi in the top 10? A number of guys have been traded for a lot less than that list would lead you to believe and it was updated 3 weeks ago. It's not worth the bandwidth it took to load.
