I think it was Cheese who recently pointed out how good this team is on the road. They seem more locked in and I agree. I didn't even think of the Covid restrictions being a reason for them stepping up and being more focused but it looks like that could be benefiting this squad.

Yup. Always a good sign for a team to be able to play on the road.

Second time for Booker this year. Was the other weekly award in February also? I believe it was, which should put him as a front runner for player of the month.

I wonder if this might be a moment to try to get KAT. His value is probably is as low as it would ever be. It might be possible to get him without giving up Ayton. Maybe? Not sure. I kinda hate to mess with our chemistry right now.

Can you tell me what this trade might look like?

The Suns first round picks can't be traded until after 2025 as it currently stands.

I doubt it. He's still a force in this league and someone like New York would offer far more than we can, and that might be the case even IF we included DA - which I wouldn't do. His star is tarnished a little but that's mostly amongst us fans IMO.

I complained about giving that pick in real time. I didn’t think there was enough competition to throw in an asset but the FO did whatever they needed to get it done. Hopefully it will convey in the late-20’s. The drawback is it limit our trading options as you stated.

It really handicaps the Suns in a trade. They could likely pick up a power forward they need if they had one. I'm thinking a player like Bobby Portis could be had for a first round pick.

Talk about pissing into a headwind.

Who cares about trading options?
