Phoenix Suns acquiring 7-footer Nick Richards in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets

Suns are lost.

I bet we can get 9 (2nd rounders for Tate and Jock)

 

Can't play Nurkic

 

Probably have a trade lined up for him for the Suns to give up 3 2nd rounders. There are teams that could use Nurkic.

 

I don't even remember him. Is he any good?

 

Rox should go get Bol Bol from them. This trade tells me that they will not play him. I think the rockets can use him. We do have one more spot left. He’s only getting paid $2 million. But we would need a third team to make that deal happen because Phoenix is a second apron team.

 

Nick Richards wasted NO time getting adjusted to his new team.

22/11, 7/8 from the field and +22 in a 4-point win.

 

So will he be the reason the Rockets get a worse draft pick......

 

Suns are doing the Rockets exactly like the Nets did and I can't blame them one bit. The difference is the Suns have a legit chance to make the play-in because they have Kevin Durant and Booker. There is something to be said for putting the best possible product on the floor for their fans, especially for home games.

They won't consider tanking until they can offload KD, which could legit happen this summer. Booker will obviously be traded too.

 

I would stick with Booker though because as the rebuild by the Rockets and OKC has shown you need to have a better than good veteran.

Booker fits the age time line to lead young players but the question is will he do the Van Vleet job or is he chasing rings.

I really do not like the star power of Booker on a contender though, he is sort of always disappearing when the team needs him.....

 

dam there goes our picks…
