    I was thinking fuck it…. Go after Booker? lol

    Simons/Sharpe/Thybulle, both Milwaukee swaps, the best of the 2029 picks, and then work with Chicago to free up our picks.

    Scoot
    Booker
    Deni
    Tou
    Ayton.

    That’s a really good team.

    I don't hate it, brother. That is a good team and we get rid of two people who have proved to be nothing but mid.

    I wouldn’t want him, but his stats aren’t bad.

    We would regret trading Sharpe but Booker would make us feel better.

    I don't think Garza would help us that much...

    Pretty sure Booker wants nothing to do with playing with Ayton again.

    Supposedly the Rockets got the Suns picks to try and trade Durant. If so I'm trying to get those picks back if I'm Phoenix and retool around Booker. He's still in his 20s and that's a big free agent market.

    Maybe the Rockets are more hesitant now being a leading West team, who knows.

    If the Suns do a Durant trade and the retool looks bleak in a couple years you could trade Booker then and still get a nice haul.

    Id probably rather trade Booker than just role with the status quo though.... That team isn't close to contending and does need a big change.

    Would you say he's a Robin to Oden's Batman?

    Booker is 27 so it would be hard to rebuild from scratch around him. The time to get max value for Booker is now.

    Booker will be 29 at the start of next season.

    We’d have to trade Ayton for Ingram then?

    The Suns sucked for 10 straight years before breaking through in 20-21. I am sure their fans will be thrilled with a rebuild this soon.

    Not his choice. And not sure Scottie Pippen wanted Dennis Rodman but they made it work.

    They never should’ve traded Ayton & Bridges, They had a great future and they flushed it down the toilet because of one bad game against Dallas.
