    I'd love a Caruso for Vincent swap, but at this point, I rather not move D'Angelo or Rui in any deal for Alex. I'm greedy, Myles Turner might become available at some point! Lol

    Man though..Alex,Jarred, and AD? Sounds like 3 levels of elite D to me. Vincent and a top 15 protected 1st? I still believe that Gabe needs more time, but Caruso is already stamped Lebron/AD approved.

    ^

    I agree, I could definitely visualize that defensive trio in action. Your trade proposal is on point IMO.

    agree. would trade gabe and lotto protected first for AC, and i think the bulls should consider it.

    It’s pretty obvious having 4 talented, planned on heavy rotation players out makes it tough, like Duh!

    I can't shake the feeling we'd make Reeves available. That contract is gold. I really, really, really hope I'm wrong.

    Still without clear return timeline
    November 9, 2023
    Suns head coach Frank Vogel said after Wednesday's 116-115 overtime win over the Bulls that Booker (calf) is "making progress," but has "no firm timetable" for a return to game action, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
    Hopefully he magically doesn't heal overnight for tomorrow's game :rofl:

    It doesn't really matter. Booker or no Booker, we're getting our butts kicked. Every game so far was a torture.

    He'll play. I heard even Nash's back is healed and is the best it's felt in 25 years if they need a one game contract... just for the game against us, after that they all go back on the injured list.

    The center from the gold medal winning German team who hadn’t played yet this year. Can’t think of a reason Indiana gives him up though. Clips are low on assets too

    Click the link to see the how and why for each, but here's the deals he throws out there:

    -The Trade: Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris for D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Jalen Hood-Schifino.

    -The Trade: DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Andre Drummond for D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura and Jalen Hood-Schifino.

    -The Trade: Zach LaVine, Torrey Craig and Terry Taylor for D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Taurean Prince Jalen Hood-Schifino and a lightly-protected 2029 first-rounder.

    -The Trade: Trae Young, Bruno Fernando and Wesley Matthews for D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura, Taurean Prince Jalen Hood-Schifino and a 2029 first-rounder.

    If we go smaller scale, he mentions: Buddy Hield, Bojan Bogdanović, Malcolm Brogdon, Tyus Jones, Alex Caruso as potential targets.




    Of the bigger deals the DD, AC and Drummond (again?... really?!) is really the only one I'm intrigued by.
