Here’s the issue. Ish knows he shat the bed trading for kd. He’s not gonna risk the fan fall out of trading book. Book will sign here for the rest of career, that’s how he maximizes dollars.

If Booker wants out, though, it's over.

I can see the Suns trying to run the Durant-Booker show back again if KDs trade value is minimal.

Beal is gone regardless.

I went to NAU, so ASU and UofA are the same to me. ;) Michigan, Michigan State, whatever. :lol:

Actually the point wasn't the schools being the same, more of the concept of a team taking players from a certain college.

Valiant try. It's not working, though. :)

Ishbia is turning the Suns into Michigan West. The GM hire and this front office is becoming the poster child for nepotism. I think this is the 6th or 7th front office hire that has ties to Michigan/Ishbia?!?

Things IMO are not looking good for this front office. Terrible GM hire IMO. This might have pushed me to the dark side on Ishbia. I don't think he knows what he is doing and is surrounding himself with his guys which never works IMO.

We are in agreement then. The GM should be making the calls. The present situation appears clouded with the hire of Gregory, though. Right now it appears GM by committee.

I think this is the issue. In the presser Ish said something like "the guys come to me with ideas, and its up to me to sign off on them or not".

The Rockets are young and loaded with draft picks, particularly the Suns.

If Giannis truly becomes available, I look for the Suns options to be severely limited until that trade is completed. There is going to be more than one team looking for that type of player but the priority has to be Giannis if you can do it.

I don't believe Giannis will actually be on the market, but the issue is it will drag out any potential trade for Durant as the rest of the league waits for definitive resolution of "will he or won't he" be available.

We may not realistically see Durant moved until August or later, who knows?

Yep, it all depends on Giannis saying he wants out or not.

If Giannis becomes available, trade Booker for him and send KD to Houston.

No way Booker alone nets you Giannis, and we don't have anything of value to add. (Dunn and Iggy ain't gonna get it done)

If Giannis is truly available, KD would be a distant 2nd in any off-season trade pursuit for the Rockets.

Without a doubt. Giannis has much more value.
