NBA draft picks trade rumors

Booker and #4 pick to New York for Kristaps Porzingis another rumor

Ahh no thanks to that.


I'd counter that proposal with Bender, #4 pick and future Miami pick and cross my fingers.

If suns trade booker i will slam my head against the wall.... booker is one of the few bright spots for the suns to build on.

I am looking forward to the draft suns can def get a good player to help the rebuild process rather it be fox jackson or.... tantum.

Jackson won't workout in Boston unless the Celtics commit that 1. They're keeping the pick 2. He's their guy at No. 3.

 

[BleedRed]

I think Boston is locked in on Tatum and knows they can drop a spot or two and still get him. Make ppl think you're interested in Jackson, because after Fultz and Ball he's the only player worth trading up for.

Oh. This is getting good.

The Rockets are talking about paying the Beard $40+ mil for 4 years.

Word from Kyrie's camp is that if LeBron leaves, Kyrie will force his way out. Which, of course, means that LeBron leaving is a possibility. Hmm. Where would LeBron want to go next?

Griff leavs the Cavs. Smart move. At a peak. If the Cavs blow up now, it will look like they really missed him.

Cavs shopping Love now. So PG13, Jimmy Butler, and Love are all on the market.

Now P.Jack is dropping hints that Zinger might be available.

Early sense I'm getting is that in any trade discussions, Lakers are holding firm on keeping No. 2 pick & Brandon Ingram.

A player stays with an NBA team for typically, what, three years? We have this conversation a lot. Most of the current Suns roster will have turned over by the time they become relevant again.

I don't consider it "mortgaging the future" unless you're giving up a core piece. So if the package was Warren, Bender, and a MIA pick, what's the core piece? Maybe Warren, and don't get me wrong, I like Warren, but I don't see him as a must-have going forward.

On the other hand, adding a legitimate center now would:

a) allow the rest of the roster to grow into their proper positions, instead of always moving up in small ball,

b) allow the coaching staff, if they are competent, to establish a culture of team defense, based on the presence of a real rim protector and defensive rebounder -- you know, the role that Chandler plays in the 25 games per season that he's healthy,

c) allow management to get an accurate look at the potential of the young players, and make better decisions about where the real gaps are in assembling a contender,

d) improve franchise morale by getting out of this era of endless suck, and becoming a credible destination for free agents again.

To me, that's a lot of upside if the only real cost is Warren.

you're right... I thought you had mentioned giving this year's pick as well. If Warren's the only cost, I got no problem doing it.

I agree. Unless someone is offering a Kevin Durant already signed for five years, Booker is off limits.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I wouldn't do Porizingis for Booker straight up.

 

[Folster]

I wouldn't do Porizingis for Booker straight up.

I'd have a hard time. If we were unbiased, we'd likely want KP.

Booker and #4 pick to New York for Kristaps Porzingis another rumor

F-no!

 

[GatorAZ]

I wouldn't do Porizingis for Booker straight up.

I wouldn't either although I think KP is more valuable.

Strange as it is I agree with this.

 

[Finito]

The Suns could really put together a great package for Porzingas, but Booker is a no go

 

[GatorAZ]

#4
Bledsoe
Chriss or Bender
future 1st

for

KP
Noah

That would be my max offer hoping they choose Bender.

 

[Mainstreet]

Strange as it is I agree with this.

Even weirder, I understand your thinking.

 

[outcent13]

Lakers just traded Russell and mosgov for a late first and lopez... almost gaurenteed to take ball at this point.

 

[elindholm]

you're right... I thought you had mentioned giving this year's pick as well. If Warren's the only cost, I got no problem doing it.

Oh, yeah, definitely not the #4 in a package for Jordan. That's a total non-starter.

 

[elindholm]

Booker and #4 pick to New York for Kristaps Porzingis another rumor

That's absurd.

 

[elindholm]

I'd have a hard time. If we were unbiased, we'd likely want KP.

I'm not so sure. Booker showed a lot more improvement in his sophomore year than Porzingis did. Porzingis may already be near his ceiling.

My guess is that if you polled NBA GMs as to who they'd rather have, Booker would have a slight edge.

 

[devilalum]

I love Booker too but this could be the time to sell high if you don't think he can improve on defense.

The theme of the post season was "Two-way players!"

What does this say about the market?

IMO it means no way that Love gets traded for #4 . If an average pg and a bad contract get you a late first and a potential all star big(with a big salary) then why would you pay more?

Porzingas- someone already said you offer bledsoe, Chriss or Bender, Miamis 2018 and the 32nd and take back Noah's contract . Bring in a FA PG or small forward like George hill or Hayward. Draft Jackson,Tatum, ball or Fox and roll.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Basically the Cleveland deal was for the #4 but it wasn't love, it was Kyrie

 

[BleedRed]

Lakers are taking Ball for sure now.

I would consider this but only if it's Bender, at this point is much easier to see Chris's future of being a very very good player then Bender's who is still a relative unknown.
