That would be a great spot for Kevin McHale. He could send us Ayton in a few years.

I'd guess David Griffin.  17 years with the Suns before his 7 year stint in Cleveland. 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

That’s what you get for not letting us work out Josh Jackson which turned out great for us in the end. Lol

Good call.

I wonder if this is followed by an overpay for PBev. I’m hopeful it’s followed by an overpay for Rozier, even as a T-Ro Stan.

I disagree. Salty would never fit in a tire fire situation.

Nope. His disappearance mysteriously coincided with McD's unraveling.

Now they fire him.
After the offseason.
Great timing.

Until the last 5-6 years, Phoenix was a solid franchise.
