    I would love to see this happen. It's a walking disaster from a player retention perspective for Phoenix.

    I wouldn't. They'd probably make good on the Capela max rumors.

    I've already accepted the fact that Capela will get a max offer and Morey will match.

    I live in Phoenix and people will riot in the streets if Ayton is not in a Suns uni this year and the Suns know that. I do not believe any rumor that would include the #1 pick even for Leonard.

    Trading a Top 3 pick for an elite, albeit injured, player who might leave next summer sounds more like a Sacramento Kings thing than a Phoenix Suns thing.

    Oh no it's a Suns thing too. Local media has made clear the recent activity draft/trading has not gone well with the fan base over the last few years. Each year the city wants to go right and they go left. That's why I know Ayton is for #1 and going to be on the Suns. Literally everything is "the Suns better bring him in and not mess this up" type headlines/stories. The pressure is to great to gamble on Leonard not Ayton

    Remember the "Draft the Stash" movement in Portland a while back. How did that turn out?

    There's always examples of flops but I hope you ain't referring to the champ?

    Lavar ball vs Pops.

    Who doesn't want to see that?

    I wish we could work something out for kawhi.

    I would take him over Lebron or PG.

    We would be locked to win rings with CP+Harden+Kwahi.

    Kawhi would take the offense and defense to another level.

    I like Paul George a lot. Always been a fan of his but you’re smoking rocks if you think he’s better than Kawhi.

    I don't think Kawhi returns fully healthy in his career anymore.

    Kawhi is a little better on defense but PG better on offense

    Nah man. Kawhi is much better defensively and he’s way more consistent on offense. George is a streak scorer.

    Put me in the “kinda believes kawhi won’t be a top 5 player anymore” camp.
