Here is the press release.

He's made bank on a career of "gee, he would be so good if he only stayed healthy" which he never has been and apparently never will be.

Still, for the right price, he would be an exciting addition, although there are players I want more (like Achiuwa).

Lol… Main, how many times would you estimate bringing up Achiuwa in the last year?

No judgement here, I just expect you to weave it into your posts somehow at this point.

Nah. I don’t see any room for Isaac here. His production has gone down to about zilch. Let’s find out what we have in what we have already.

The Pelicans are shopping Jordan Poole’s $34 million expiring contract in trade talks.

New Orleans is targeting a win-now piece to bring aboard for new head coach Jamahl Mosley.

Insane thought, but New Orleans being the team to gamble on Ja makes a ton of sense.

Zion and Ja would have wild chemistry... they both love crazy dunks, they both love Instagram escorts, they both are hurt a lot so they can bond in the training room. They also have both shown zero growth on a talent level since entering the league!

But seriously... for the like... 10-20 games those two played at the same time would be a lot of fun.

Hmm... I can't say I agree. Some franchises are stupid, some are not. McD patting himself on the back for tricking the Celtics into taking Tatum of Josh Jackson comes to mind.

The Lakers have a LOT of bizzare, lopsided transactions, or MVP players just falling into their laps, to correct a long run of complete incompetence, but the Celtics... just don't see it.

Their current run is built on taking advantage of idiotic, impatient, Nets and Sixers front offices... hardly the teams that would cater to Boston.

the one that comes to mind was because the Warriors were stupid not because of the league. But Parish and the pick that was Mchale for Joe Barely Cares and Rickey Brown basically created a dynasty in Boston with Bird and Cornbread

Golden State has honestly been historically stupid. Trading Chris Webber after one year?

Screwing the Suns and backing out of the arranged deal for Steph Curry ironically turned their fortunes around.

That's why I put it in parentheses. You know, he is available. I don't want to talk in code when there are realistic options out there.

It's a shame. I always liked the potential of Isaac. Sadly, injuries diminished what could have been a great career.

The Suns rumored interest in Dean Wade persists.

It would be so like the Suns to want to bring back Cam Johnson. They want an identity.

Ironically, a similar identity to the one they traded away.

With the addition of Koa Peat, the Suns may be less inclined to go after a player like Aaron Gordon.

Yep the Webber one took me years to get over. I get he was young and immature but he was an extremely smart kid to get to that point where they traded him was much more on Nelson IMO

I had to google it they got Gugliotta who I remembered, the 3 first rounders they got became Todd Fuller(terrible), Vince Carter who was traded on draft night for Antawn Jamison, and Larry Hughes

So the actual deal practically was Gugliotta, Jamson and Hughes who were all good players but were never good at the same time on the team and none of whom was Webber good

I know this probably is not enough, but if I was the suns I would offer green, brooks, and Dunn for Jaylen brown.

Especially now with the Suns draft pick situation, although I understand Brown's value is not as high as the Celtics hoped.

And how would Brown and Booker play together? It just exchanges one problem for another, even if it could happen.

The Cam Johnson option is interesting. With the Bridges trade, they could absorb Cams contract. Then next summer they choose Cam or Bridges (Cam of course) and extend Brooks. I think that works but I have a hard time with the CBA these days.

No they cannot absorb cams contract, unless you are seriously suggesting trading green or brooks for him, which would be hella stupid. Now that Grayson and Royce are gone, cam is not coming here.

They would have no issue playing together. Seriously phoenix fans have got to get over their PG obsession.
