A trade between Phoenix and Dallas that was discussed: Mavericks receive: Deandre Ayton Suns receive: Tim Hardaway Jr. Richaun Holmes JaVale McGee Suns declined. “The talks with Dallas were not going to furnish Phoenix with any future first-round draft compensation but initially held appeal to the Suns, sources say, because it would have given them two players they like in Hardaway and Holmes who could plug into a rotation with numerous vacancies in support of the newly formed star trio” (Via https://marcstein.substack.com/p/on-a-major-near-trade-from-draft)

Something about McGee going back to the Suns is HILARIOUS!
Dallas SHOULD trade Tim Hardaway Jr. as I NEVER liked him. DeAndre Ayton will be a great piece for Dallas to acquire.
Im giving up THJr, and maybe Kleber
Don't want anything to do with Ayton.. want THj out to clear the path for Hardy..n I don't think it'd be difficult to dump McGee as he only makes 5m a year
Suns plan to keep Deandre Ayton, but Suns and Mavericks are discussing a trade for Deandre Ayton?🤔
I don't see this happening without phoenix getting a pick or two. Also doesn't make sense to trade ayton to a conference rival. Although I could see him being very good playing with Luka. Holmes is good, always liked him. Mcgee is okay but would rather find a way to trade ayton for lively or keep him and if trade is inevitable do the Orlando deal for Isaac, Carter Jr and bol bol. Or see if we can get Cole Anthony. Mavs will be better next year regardless , but suns shouldn't trade ayton away unless they can get young talent or some picks included to offset James Jones non-draft player development philosophy.
100% keep DA
Collins, Green and THJ.
Is fair.
Suns wont trade when the package is soo ass. The Suns need players, McGee and Holmes should be working at Footlocker.
Suns dumped McGee on Dallas WTF would they want him back.
Ayton will stay in Phoenix till he can be fairly traded, for sure his numbers will improve under a coach that isn't a 12 yr old mentally and spiteful, THEN they will talk trades.
NY and Orlandos offers were many times better, and Ayton is still in Phoenix.
If the Suns move on from Ayton I expect them to demand 2 solid role players and 1 or 2 picks or he will stay in Phoenix.
Its not worth it for the Suns to dump him for "warm bodies" like McGee and Holmes.
Trade DA for bench depth and sign Brook Lopez in FA.
just give them the pick and get rid of all the problems!!! Get G. Williams and make a deal with OKC for V. Micic boooom 🎉
ps and dont forget to sign Leonard Meyers 😅
Suns keeping Ayton will not end well. How would you feel if you were told to sacrifice your offense for defense and was trade bait in the offseason? 😂😂😂
Two firsts, one next year and the other three years down-and that player package would work. Nothing less. Cause Dallas is a rival, and it helps the cause to make them worse.
Trade to Cavs for Robin Lopez Danny Green and another small or power forward
Please take him!
