The Grizzlies are trading Kyle Korver and Jevon Carter to the Suns for DeAnthony Melton, Josh Jackson 2020 second-round pick and 2021 conditional second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN.

Suns lottery picks yikes. This must mean they are locking up wave papi

Plz, Kawhi, say it

i turned twitter notifications on my phone... 3 fuckin days already.... aaaaargh

i don't understand anything about the suns

that josh jackson pick was doomed from the start tho damn

Can the Suns play Ayton at the PF with Baynes? Kaminsky/Saric don't seem like starters to me.

Daric can be a starter as a stretch 4

ayton's always gotta be a 5

PG: Ricky Rubio, Tyler Johnson, Ty Jerome, Elie Okobo
SG: Devin Booker, Cameron Johnson
SF: Kelly Oubre Jr., Mikal Bridges
PF: Dario Saric, Frank Kaminsky, Dragan Bender
C: Deandre Ayton, Aron Baynes

this team could be kinda fun, i say they get to 30 wins. last year they were kinda fun and had two glaring holes at pg and pf and now they have normal players in those positions plus a little depth. they have small ball switchable lineup options too

Bender's a FA, I think, and Okobo is a team option.

Yeah suns are not terrible now!

is kelly oubre definitely back?

love what memphis has been doing btw.

Oubre's a restricted FA.

they still did some incredibly dumb things. still dont understand dumping tj warren and adding picks to that. then having to unload josh with picks too. bad stuff. they badly need ayton to be the star they expected.

yeah bender is an fa good call. okobo i could see them picking that up.

the suns had 4 wings and dropped two so they better be keeping oubre. nothing has been agreed to though

oh yeah i also forgot that the suns had to do something like this to get the space for overpaying rubio

that starting 5 at least makes sense schematically on offense but any team starting booker, oubre, saric and 2nd year ayton is gonna give up 585 ppg

it's crazy in the last two years the suns have just bought tyson chandler and kyle korver out instead of trying to trade them for literally anything

the suns are definitely #1 contender for "team that doesn't know the entire CBA"

well james jones wants to help his pal lebron out as much as possible whilst under the guise of being a gm so it makes sense

it does seem like that is what's happening lol

so the suns had to give up two second round picks in order to dump their top five pick from 2 years ago is that correct

that is correct. also so they could sign rubio.

they also threw away a pick to shed themselves of TJ Warren's team friendly contract lol.

management 101 kids

simmons and russillo think kawhi is going to the lakers. pretty wild we dont know yet and that nothing has really leaked.

lotta twitter buzz this afternoon that he's staying with the raps

We're set up for a great wide open season if he stays with the raps

you’re all forgetting the charcuterie plate the clips unleashes

a level of parity not seen since.. idk, 2007? when was the last time there were no 3 star teams

Spurs had three all stars in 07 (tho not simultaneously)

depends on your definition of a star.

warriors still have 3 last-season all stars + draymond.

team kawhi (uncle dennis) made total confidentiality a prerequisite so teams are playing it real close to the vest, prob involving the fewest number of ppl and so forth

Didn’t click on the actual video but apparently jalen rose thinks it’s 99% he stays in Toronto, whatever that’s worth

has the best player on a championship team ever peaced out to another team

no! this has been well documented iirc

it's a brand new era tho etc

only to the birmingham barons

if it were anyone but kawhi everyone wld be talking about how insane the idea of even not running it back is
