Be right for once Flex!

Not sure how reliable the source but posted minutes ago.

How does Chicago have the salaries to make that work? It would have to include a buyout and sign.

 

[Mainstreet]

I wonder if the Kevin Durant trade is still being amended.

A wild thought, could Jalen Green be rerouted to the Bulls in a trade for Beal?

 

[Mainstreet]

Please announce a Beal to Chicago trade.

If they want Beal then there is no place for Jalen Green there. Beal for Huerter, Collins, JSmith may work under cap.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out why the Bulls do it.

Chicago does not have that much salary. Could they absorb Beal's contract?

Don't believe so. But they could sign him for mid expt after buyout with suns. Actually, I wonder whether Suns/Rockets/Bulls could make a bigger deal around KD/Beal.

Suns get JGreen/Brooks/Whitmore/Huerter/JSmith/Collins
Bulls get Beal/Richards/Oso/Eason
Rox get KD/GAllen/FRP from Bulls

now Rockets made their FA signings, it's unlikely they'd retain Eason/Whitmore. Whitmore for Allen without picks seems fair, Eason for Bulls pick should be fine too. And Suns could buyout any of Huerter, Collins and JSmith to get further under apron.

Absolutely love it. The Suns should have done this under James Jones.

This is kind of getting silly right?

 

[Phrazbit]

Dude… I’ve admitted Durant is a cancer… MULTIPLE TIMES, but… eh forget it. You’ve proven so many times the complete inability to ever admit you’re wrong about anything, especially about this golden age of the Suns where chemistry was “GREAT”despite inexplicably getting humiliated in historical terms to an inferior opponent and the continued massive issues with 2/5s of that team’s starting lineup the following season, that it’s time to put you back on ignore.



Yeah… def no reason to continue reading after this laugher. You’ve leveled as much criticism at Booker as Lindsey Graham does with Trump.

Knock yourself out.

Booker is not a great leader, he is a follower, I have said we should trade him.

I told you 2 1/2 years ago how it would play out, it played out like I said so you've chosen to have an irrational hatred of that team as some sort of coping mechanism.

 

[Phrazbit]

He was weird as he had some good box scores and seemed to pass the eye test until you dig deeper and focus more on him. His advanced stats were bad and when you focus on his play on both ends, he was lost quite often. I didn't notice that myself until you started calling it out.

I'm indifferent with Richards. He's a backup, at best, and shouldn't be starting. Just because he can play those minutes doesn't mean he should. I think we can get a 2nd round pick for him, at least. 7 footers hold value.

The entire team got lost a lot on defense last year but he was particularly bad and it seems ingrained in him. Dudes like Tyus Jones are terrible defenders because he can't keep anyone in front of him, where Richards is just lost.

Hmm. The Hornets needed a center...

 

[clyde2tw]

Hmm. The Hornets needed a center...

They ain't competing yet so won't trade picks for Richards back

 

[Proximo]

He was waaay worse, especially worse than Plumlee. He doesn't defend, he doesn't set screens, we were far worse when he was on the court. Plumlee was our most effective big by a huge margin.

You are crazy plumlee was god awful.

 

[Proximo]

Oh no. Not for Coby White please? I just cannot stand to watch that kid.

Are you nuts, Coby white would be an amazing return all things considered.

 

[Phrazbit]

You are crazy plumlee was god awful.

Per 100 possessions we were TEN points better when Plumlee was on the court vs Richards, we actually outscored teams when he was in the game over the course of the season, while we Richards we got pulverized.

In terms of on/off splits, Richards was the worst player on the entire roster last year. He does none of the little things and he's not particularly good at anything.

 

[Phrazbit]

Are you nuts, Coby white would be an amazing return all things considered.

Yeah, his first few years he was horrendous but he's turned things around. I would be shocked if the Bulls would consider including him in a Beal trade.

 

[Hoop Head]

The Bulls have Ayo Dossomo (sp?) so Coby White is kind of extra for them.

 

[Mainstreet]

Don't believe so. But they could sign him for mid expt after buyout with suns. Actually, I wonder whether Suns/Rockets/Bulls could make a bigger deal around KD/Beal.

Much appreciate the work you put into that.

It's an irrational aversion to that hair and beard.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Did he make a comment about Tyus?

If Tyus was out CP3 back

 

[Yuma]

Turning over every rock

Summer League signing I suppose.

I think the Suns knew that because Plumlee was getting a LOT of minutes towards the end of the season.
