    Fek. Keep KJ and get rid of EG/Nix/Bird etc… take a 1st or whatever and call it a day for the development of the youngsters.

    EGO and KJ for Saric and Crowder and a 2024 first rounder (unprotected)

    Have a destination for Crowder lined up already where he brings back another 1st rounder, or a decent young talent, or both

    2 firsts would be a decent return on those 2 guys.

    This just seems to be repacking old crap.

    If Im trading KMJ it is to get Bridges. That or they need to come up with a lotto pick for us.

    A suns 2024 FRP don’t matter much. About as valuable as the bucks pick. I’d rather keep KJ and jsut let Gordon expire

    Yup. Seems like basically the same rumors that have been spinning around for the past couple of months and was posted in the other thread about KMJ drawing interest from teams.

    If moving KMJ is the only way we move Gordon, so be it. Business is business. Smith/Eason/KMJ = too crowded. Eason getting more minutes will be important.

    Suns don't really have anything IMO that is good enough for KMJ to me. I mean, at least nothing they would be willing to give up.

    Maybe if another team got involved.

    Gordon and KMJ for what? Because I’m not trading them for a FRP.

    2024 is a double draft. The high schoolers can go straight to the NBA again, so essentially there will be 2 draft classes in 1. Pretty well any first round pick in that draft is a good one (and OKC owns ours...)

    IF the Suns are making a deal, they are NOT sending out a rotation piece and taking back garbage.
    The assets they would be using for EGO are
    Crowder (ie, whatever a contend would give for him)
    Saric (salary matching)
    Picks

    If you want talent, you need to find it elsewhere...

    You can simply buy EG out, he expires at seasons end.

    There's no "Need" to attach anything to him - aside from a cheap contract to facilitate a 2 for 2 swap to make the money work easier.


    If the price for moving EG is KJM, I'd just cut his ass and eat the salary - you are going to pay someone else anyway.
