Multiple sources claiming Suns-GSW KD trade talks intensifying

[highwhey]

Sounds like it’s mutual as in KD wants out (shocking). Suns would get Green most and picks, knowing how dysfunctional they are probably 2nd round picks LOL. And Suns would end up with Butler as well. What a dumbass franchise :facepalm

They should just blow it all up and ship Booker and KD away for picks.

Kuminga & Wiggins I would assume have to be in the deal if its just 2nd round picks.

Damn. Suns blowing it up with no title to show for it.

The Beal trade was the nail in the coffin. Buried them.

I'm hearing a Wizards-Suns Valanciunas-Nurkic swap.

Suns insider said he would be moved again tho, so valamciunas would not stay in phx. Nurk does have to go however, he’s not even playing anymore.

The Beal trade was the nail in the coffin. Buried them.

It really did, he renegged on his comments about waiving the ntc. Said he prefers to stay in phoenix and that killed any butler trade swap talks. Shortly after it was “kd is being shopped”.

Suns GM gets bent over on trades so not gonna be surprised if its a lopsided trade.

[Real Men Wear Green]

What is the point to trading for Green? If you aren't a potential contender that could use a point forward he isn't going to do much good and if he's unhappy the chance of a bad outburst goes up. A potential play-in team shouldn't bother with him.

[Wardell Curry]

lmfao @ any dumbass that ever thought otherwise.

Bradley Beal we've seen before. Puts up stats on a garbage team and looks like an All-Star player.

And don't get me wrong, he's a terrific player but overrated as **** and ultimately not a difference maker for a championship team especially on a max deal.

One of the worst deals if not the worst deal in NBA history and completely buried the Suns chances with KD/Booker core.

[tpols]

If the team can get rid of Dray and get Durant back it would quite literally be like killing two stones with one bird.

:lol

And in reality because there is a max salary, there aren't 30 max-salary-worthy players in the NBA.

The artificial cap on the contract $ amount has deemed that Bradley Beal is as valuable to a franchise as Steph Curry, as an example.

I realize for ticket selling purposes and pretending to be competitive, more than 5 players have to get this deal but Bradley Beal is the extreme end of people not deserving a max contract.

It’s gonna be a fun deadline

What is kinda interesting is the max contract and more so the super max contract is actually preventing players from being signed.

It inflates the value of lesser players. I don’t know if it’s a psychological thing but it turns into a benchmark that players, agents, even organizations to an extent, think that is deserved or necessary.

If there was no magic number max contract on the table….how much do you think Beal could have negotiated from the Wizards? Not nearly as much in my opinion.

The max kind of artificially sets the table in terms of negotiations.

Then of course it also shafts top tier superstars who deserve max and more for a variety of reasons (Lebron, Curry)

There is another reason why Beal's ntc is a big problem. His girl wears the pants. If she likes Phoenix she can veto any trade.

Counter point if it's
Phoenix - Beal/Booker/Butler/Kuminga/Valanciunas
GSW - Heild/Curry/Durant/Green/Post
Miami - Herro/Robinson/Wiggins/Adebayo/Ware

Jimmy takes Beal to the finals...you gotta rank him ahead of Durant
