I think the next step for this team is already on the roster. Jalen Green.
With Green on floor things will open up even more for Booker, Brooks, and others.

I’m fine with Jalen and Grayson being out. Liking these depth guards and want a larger sample of them.
suns will essentially be adding 2 players to their january roster - jalen of course and i think fleming is going to see real minutes consistently - jalen can score in every way imaginable and fleming 3 and D
just two more ways for ott to set the table which is getting pretty crowded but all the dishes are delicious so what are you gonna do

Sounds like we could get Trae for scraps.

Trae/Devin backcourt would be too awful defensively for me.
Just no. I have watched that guy give up on defense soooo many times. That would undo much of the transformation this team has accomplished.

Oh yes. I would rather have Gillespie starting with Book.
i can understand why book's still in phx but i have no idea why trae is still in the atl or ja still in memphis - hawks and grizzlies just watch as each player's trade value plummets - you gotta know when to get out - we were lucky to get what we got for a 37 year old kd and houston won't be so lucky

They should just trade those two for each other and call it a day.
if i was one of the crappiest teams in the league it probably means i have valuable draft picks and contracts just laying around
and if my attendance was horrible i might be inclined to trade for both of them lol wth

I would rather have Gillespie than Trae Young right now. I can’t believe I just said that.

Better off silent
I can. Trae Young would be terrible for this team. He's terrible for Atlanta and they can't even give him away. Collin is absolutely perfect for us.
And I always go back to what this team will look like in a couple week with a healthy Jalen Green. God almighty!

This team needs to set its sites on the #4 seed in the west.

As I watch video of Green, Gillespie might even pair better with Jalen than with Book, as long as Jalen is willing to pass the ball sometimes.

I'd rather have Gillespie at Trae's salary than Trae with Colin's. He's such a negative on defense.

It's crazy that, if everyone was healthy, we'd have too many good role players. If Allen and Green were back, I dunno how we find the minutes for Goodwin, Boo-yeah, and both have been great. I'd love for Fleming to get 20 a night but the minutes just are not there.
Allen or O'Neale are the obvious trade bait, but what do we want back? If it's draft picks, in the eyes of the players that's kinda depressing. Maybe, a center to help stabilize the front court more? Williams health is iffy, Oso is a very smart player but limited, Richards stinks.
The ideal: one of those two guys, for a decent center who wouldn't be insulted by being Williams backup... and hopefully we get a future first. I gotta figure some contending team has a big to spare and a serious need for a player like Allen or O'Neale.

It goes well beyond that.
This ball movement offense doesn't happen with Young. He's a homeless man's Doncic. You live and die, each game, by how he plays and he is really inconsistent... well, that is on offense, on defense, Young is perpetually terrible.
