    Wish him well.

    I have to look up Saric’s contract now.

  5. MemesAboveDreams

    Bazley on the Suns actually makes too much sense.

    Will actually be able to play the 4/5 next to KD when Ayton is on the bench.

  7. jocro

    Oh Dario could actually be pretty fun. And a UFA this summer so if it’s not a good fit we can move on easy peasy.

  9. youforgotitinmeta

    i, for one, will not miss The Big Fundamentalist

  12. twrs_29

    How does this effect the Suns title chances??

  13. trillrollers

    Finally the intern is gone. Could tell from day 1 he was never gonna last.

  15. MakeCocktailsNotWar

    A trade I actually wanted to see! šŸ˜…

    Still gonna miss Moose… šŸ˜”

    The relationship between Baze and the fans had its ups and downs. I defs donā€™t agree with the shit he posted online but I honestly wish him well and hope it works out with the suns.

    I’m a fan of this trade! We finally get to see what Giddey can do with a center who can play inside and set screens! I’ve always admired Dario Saric for his BBIQ. It seems to me he is underrated by most but I think he’ll be great for the team. Hope he doesn’t get cut immediately to make roster spots for the upcoming draft, or if he does it’s via S&T and we get a first round pick out of him!

    Aw I’m gonna miss Bazley… Will I watch the suns too so not really but man.

  21. McJacknife

    Iā€™ll always remember Bubble Baze fondly.

    Iā€™ll never miss his blind charges towards the rim

    I hope that this move works for him, CP3 was a big mentor to him in ā€˜20.

    And I hope our dude with all the Baze rookie cards is alright

  22. Recounting_My_Math

    I’ve always wanted Saric on the Thunder. Hope he sticks around and becomes useful!

  23. SonicPresti

    He’s reuniting with CP. Honestly really happy for him.

  25. Cyanides_Of_March

    Well, maybe when the NBA drops the one-and-done rule in the near future, these 2nd rounders will be even more valuable? Deeper draft pools mean more value in the 2nd.

  30. lmaoooyikes

    Surprised we even got Saric and a 2nd for Baze tbh lol

  31. prestiforpresident

    Andrew Schlecht called this weeks ago.

  32. chompar

    Suns fan here, please take care of our antichrist

  34. FitForLife1995

    Suns fan here, I love what you guys have going on over there in OKC. As far as Darius Bazley, what can a suns fan expect from him?

  35. KarrlMarrx

    Saric is getting bought out. That’s my guess at least.

    Several contenders could use him.

  36. jepayotehi

    Bazley should’ve gone to Utah where he’d fit right in

  37. AnkitPancakes

    Good spot for Baze to go. Baze’s best season came with playing with CP3. Should be a good spot where he doesn’t have to worry about decision making and just play defense and on offense just be a pnr big with an occasional corner 3

  38. nbc9876

    If you take his last 15 games back to Jan 11 for more of what you will be getting pulling out 4 of those games that were 8 minutes or less.

    The 11 games with 14 minutes or more avg:

    23.1 Minutes
    11.1 Points
    6.7 Rebounds
    2.9 Assists

    And this has been with the B squad. The suns have been hurting for the past 2 months so it’s not like he’s getting this play from CP3, or Book almost at all.

    I like this trade for the Thunder a lot.

  39. BigBonesMilk

    What if Bazely wins a chip this year šŸ˜‚

  41. SetheryJimmonson

    It is sad to see ā€œThe internā€ himself leave us, but hopefully he can get some playing time in phoenix.

  42. Effective-West-3370

    Delighted. CP3 can watch over him.

  43. Brock_Way

    Didn’t like him playing so much, but when he was reduced to the bench he seemed productive.

    Nothing personal, but not sad to see him go.

  44. kluv2

    Take care Bazley!! Thanks for the good times man šŸ€šŸ™āœØšŸ¤Ÿ

  46. the_gift_of_g2j

    I’m so happy Bazley is gone.

    Dude gets me so frustrated

  47. hapless_bulldog

    On the stats they produce very similar results, while Bazley is the slightly better defender in the paint. Not sure that swapping expiring contracts is going to help Okc all that much. o,0

  48. Beginning-Profile494

    Baze finna ball out and im screenshoting all yall comments. Yall really some haters tbh. Been told yall the Thunder wasnt using him right. Its cool. I think yall finna say, ā€œWhy he wasnt doing that with usā€ Just watch
