Why are people still shitting on the Green contract?  It’s a contract that lets him bet on himself while tying him up long enough (but not too long) to make it tradable if we need to.  It was a really smart move.  

What attainable PG out there should we chase? I am not sure what is out there and attainable that improves us. 

I’d like to godfather Phoenix for Booker depending on where we land in lottery (Brooks, Green, Whitmore, maybe one more, and their 2025 pick back plus any other picks that may be required), then sign a Jones brother as a backup point guard and exercise option on FVV if Sheppard in the trade and you have his expiring in 2026 to upgrade again.  If we keep Sheppard, I may be ok letting FVV walk and see what we have.  

All that said, I can’t get a trade for Booker to work in the Trade Machine   PHX’s cap situation is all borked.

It Booker doesn’t work then turn turrets to Giannis, then if that doesn’t work, Maxie.

Can it be neither smart, nor dumb?  Almost a year later and I think you can move it but only as part of a package with pieces that have some actual attraction to another team.

Regardless of playoff performance it is a VERY attractive contract for a 22 year old with his upside.

I was told this team was different and could finally beat Steph Curry and the Warriors. Same ol' same ol'

Totally different team. All different.

And the Warriors added Jimmy Butler. Jimmy can be elite at any moment.... Which is usually the playoffs.

💯 

Butler gets three free throws and Alpi gets nothing on the end of game possessions. Stars get the better treatment in the playoffs and sadly it matters.

He’s 23 now and you have to squint to see  upside when he’s getting paid $33m and $36m in the next two seasons at his current performance level.  I think you have to move him because he’s been only going to lose value going forward.

Giannis or KD.

Pick one.

KD and it’s not even close. Given the fact that we own PHX picks they’re more motivated to deal, plus we need outside shooting desperately and the Freak isn’t the answer to that…

It’s one of the most tradable contracts in the NBA. A lot of internet idiots don’t understand the CBA…

Nobody is lining up give assets and pay $33 million to Green. It’s not toxic but it’s not an ace in the hole either.
