Jazz Suns trade

So just think about this. Suns just tripled down so they can get Jimmy effing Butler and give him an extension. Its clear KD has become a little bit of a franchise killer... Jimmy is a serial killer... this is the tag team they are betting on. My only worry is they bottom out too fast and can bounce back a bit by then. They are giving matches, cans of gas, and a flame thrower to two adolescent boys and putting them in front of a dry grain field with some fireworks unattended. Like **** gonna burn its just a matter of how much and how fast.

Yes, I think people forget that you don’t have to draft with the pick. 2031 is a long ways away and anything can happen, but chances are the Suns aren’t going to be un ****ed in the next few years. They’re hard committing to Butler and Durant who are 35 and 36 years old. It’s a great asset now, it’s going to get better as a trade asset in the upcoming years as the Suns ride out the KD era by continuing to double down. We do not have to wait until 31 to cash in on that value.

Right and as the team burns teams will look at that pick and be like "hell ya we want that". So when we need to get another star to pair with Cooper the timing will be perfect.

There will be some team with a star in 2027 that is going to contemplate tanking and will see the Suns pick as a great start to their rebuild. It could be the difference between us and whatever other teams who want that guy.

Is it the absolute best pick? No, but I’d still consider it a premium pick and one that will be timely one way or another. The Jazz were actually under a bit of time pressure with roster spots and having to use all their picks more quickly.

I do not consider this eating value, but if something like this didn’t happen eating value in a trade was probably inevitable. Better this than trade our 25 CLE for like 3 distant seconds.
 
I understand the logic, especially with the 2025 late first, we have too many prospects at the moment, might as well throw in two other late firsts and get a chance for a lottery pick, just 2031 is a long ways away, but we could trade it as well, I give It an "A"
