Suddenly I'm seeing a lot of talk about the Suns trading Bradley Beal... I don't even know if that's an option or something they would want, but I'm hearing names like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. I doubt the Suns would be willing to take on Harden as he's a huge risk and has already said he wants to be the number one option on whatever team he lands on, but Mitchell might be a legitimate option if they were trying to flip Beal. I'd personally rather have Beal as I think he fits in better with other stars, but Mitchell is an elite player when it comes time to show it.

A lot of all-star players on one team isn't always a good thing, and I think getting Harden would have been a bad idea for the Suns. He already played with KD in the Thunder and then in the Nets. Both times, they didn't have any success.
As for Mitchell, we can conclude from last season's results that he feels pretty good about the Cavs. So, his trade to the Suns is unlikely.

I don't think this would happen either. The rumors may not be true, especially considering that the Suns already appear to be a super team. Trading Beal for Harden might not be a wise move since Harden isn't known for his defensive abilities. The Suns already have a lot of offensive firepower with their big three being primarily offensive players. In my opinion, if they want to win a championship together, they should focus on improving their defense.

Harden might be better suited going to a team that needs his offensive skills and can provide more balance to the league. For example, a struggling team like the Clippers could potentially benefit from his services. Hopefully, if a trade does happen, it benefits both parties involved.

Clippers have superstars like Kawhi (although prone to injury), and Paul George, so not sure how he will be a perfect fit either. Same with the Suns, they have a lot of great players already, including Kevin Durant.

And probably that's why initially we heard that Harden might go back to Houston Rockets as they don't have any legit superstars. But it seems that news has died down already and so we don't know what teams Harden will go or who will take him.

There is also a wild speculation on Giannis, him and Anthony Davis of LA Lakers for a 1:1 trade? I'm not sure though if the Lakers are going to make this trade, but for me this make sense. AD is already fragile and we all know that it was a cringe to watch him attempting to get rebounds or block shot as he might get injured once he lands down. This is just speculation though. Everything though depends on the performance of the Buck and Giannis, or maybe this is a sign that they might not be as good as the previous years as everyone for sure have heard about Giannis comments and it might have crack the relationship of the team right now.

Signing Giannis to the Golden State Warriors will probably cost them a lot of good players. Wiggins, and maybe even Klay or Draymond. But if the Bucks are interested they could take CP3 which means a great deal of money that will be released to their salary cap and they get someone that will be worth the price, no disrespect to CP3.
But it all sums down to what the Bucks will need. Giannis is one of the top of the league so I don't think they are just going to let him go. I am more sure that he will make him the face of their franchise.
I've seen some rumors regarding Jrue Holiday trade too but the source is not that convincing so I think it's just a rumor that will die quickly.

Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well, if Klay don't play well in the upcoming season, then I think he will be in the trading block. And if Giannis shows intention of joining, then maybe throw in Wiggins + future draft picks.

Not sure about Draymond though, he is the bedrock of the Warriors so I don't see the management letting go of him. And he just sign a good contract, so he could be out of the equation.

Klay being on the trading block would be very weird, I am not saying that it's impossible but it will certainly be very weird. Think about what they have won with him and how much he has contributed, just because he has a single bad season doesn't mean that he should be traded, not even for Giannis because that may result with everyone else playing worse.

There are more things to care about in a team than just how good a player is, like for example how good others are because he is there. Klay may not make others better, but he is liked and even loved by his teammates. If Warriors ever to trade someone away, that should have been Draymond Green long long time ago, dude is terrible for many years now, but since he is loved so much, they still pay him a lot and keep him there.

And I read some interviews of the GSW owner says that he will not let go of Klay Thompson, not just yet. And I'm not really sure there are noises on the Curry X Giannis now, it's too early to speculate at this point.

For the owner of the Warriors though, they have built their championship runs through Curry, Thompson and Green and some other role players. So if ever one of them departed, they might have a hard time replicating their success stories though, just saying.

Th foundation that being established with the three stars brings that numbers of titles for the franchise. I agree that
separating or moving one of that element will surely affect the chemistry of the team.

I think the management will do everything to continue keeping them together and add some spice to help bringing
more titles if possible.

Personally, I don't think Milwaukee to just let go Giannis, so the duo of Curry and Giannis might still be far from reality.

Steve Kerr is stirring the pot by saying that he would love to coach Giannis, saying he’s not only a great player but also a great person. I think that’s probably as much as he can say without getting fined for tampering, but it’s pretty clear that Golden State is going to do everything they can to try and sign Giannis when the time comes.

Yeah, it will be a limited statement, or else the NBA will be on his tail. Cheesy

That really might be the case, there is a chance that Klay Thompson will be delivered for the trade along with a few first rounders instead of Draymond as it's always Klay who is somehow not consistent enough compared to Draymond who is always a defensive machine in the perimeter.

The team knows that he is already old and yet they still gave him what he asked because he never failed the team, and next season, it's Klay's time to show if he's still the right man for the job and until then, the Warriors will weigh the things if he still deserves to be given an extension.

I mean I know this is all in the spirit of conversation but klay and picks for giannis is a no go. Their first round picks will likely be in the 28 to 30 range with them likely contending for the title with that squad. No one wants late first round picks for their mega star you want lottery picks. This would need a 3rd team with good picks involved. Those gs first round picks aren't worth much.

It's difficult to see that it will happen especially with Steph Curry getting near his retirement year. That's just probably a hype that was resurrected after the All-Star event where Steph passed the ball to Giannis in a high bounce pass.
Just to be real, it will be a bad chemistry destruction for the Warriors and I don't think their fans will like that type of move.

I am reading this article made by Matt Brooks and I like how he detailed everything about the Phoenix Suns.
Matchups: The new-look Phoenix Suns
https://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/matchups-the-new-look-phoenix-suns

It sure is a promising roster after giving up a lot of their roleplayers and a superstar at CP3. But I still believe that chemistry is the main factor in winning a ball game. Without a connection to win the championship, they are playing like All-Stars just for the fun.
I can still remember how the Miami Heat failed upon signing Lebron James and "Which team defeated them?" A not-so-strong Dallas Mavericks with Dirk Nowitzki not in his prime and a veteran Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion.
I don't believe in a superstar roster because we have seen it fail so many times. Even the Brooklyn Nets just recently failed too.
Grow a franchise duo, take care of them, keep them, and somewhere along the road, you will get a championship.

As Klay ages his defense is going to struggle and I think a trade to a team like the Lakers where he could be a spot shooter and nothing else would be good for him and the Warriors. Draymond just needs to be released… Giannis will do his role better than him anyway. I don’t think Klay to the Lakers is likely, but they are pursuing Trae Young for this season to try and meet their shooting demands.

Maybe the Suns might have qualms about the Beal acquisitions specially with that massive contract that they acquire. And if I'm not mistaken, Harden also wanted to play with Phoenix. However, this is just a mock trade if I'm not mistaken, so let's see how it goes.

Suns losing CP3, they might be looking at at someone that can play point. Harden might fit that role as he had triple doubles throughout his career. Mitchell though might be a hard pitch as they have Durant and Booker already.

Bradley Beal became one of the NBA All Stars players and his ability can have a big influence on the Suns in winning the NBA this season plus the exists of Devin Booker and Kevin Durant can make the Suns have a much better playing quality.
If there are any doubts the Suns must throw away those doubts because there is no harm in having great players on a team and with several All Stars players the Suns will be more difficult for other teams to beat when competing in the NBA championship this season.

Losing CP3 is not something that is difficult for the Suns and the Suns have more than enough players now to be able to become a shooting guard and create a point-creating machine.

and we will expect that Bucks will try keeping him, his demands will be workout to make sure that they will let Giannis feel that
they are willing to spend to keep him and let him continue to lead and stay as the main alpha of his team.

That is for sure because losing Giannis will definitely be a big loss for the franchise and they cannot get another Giannis-like in the league who can be the face of their team because he's just the only one. There might be some players who somehow work and play to be his replacement but not really Giannis who is almost a complete package that any team can ask for.

But, if this is his mindset that will not really help the team and they might end up losing again this year. Just because he's demanding and they will deliver that doesn't mean they'll win a championship, by far there are still better team than them and they're eyeing the same goal as Giannis hoping for.

I think he knows that too well that the competition in the league is very tight and you need to have a good team in order to keep up with the pace along with the other teams in the league. That is also the reason why he's giving a sign, demanding to be a team that will guarantee a seat in the Finals is just too much to ask and it's somehow impossible considering the teams situation right now, I think he just want the team to improve.

It is going to be exciting if they can do it this season and if it's possible to make some trade offers to the Bucks. But if not, we have to wait until a year until he goes free agent. Anything is possible for a team that wants him badly and he badly wants to be with.

His free agency is so far away so many things can happen by then, with one of them being the Bucks winning another chip and having a top team. Why would giannis want to leave at that point. Or he gets injured and alters his desirability around the league, or any other thing that changes the current outlook. What we know now is the Bucks ain't in the market to trade him.

Maybe he just wants to try something new and that's the best team that he's seeing as a championship team that can bring him another ring. Just as what KD has thought of before. Yeah, he won't be traded right away but if the time comes and talks have happened, there could be a mutual and beneficial agreement that they can end up with. But as statements coming out like Kerr saying things that he'd like to coach Giannis and Giannis going to their team, well something might be cook in the nearest future with these collaborations, transfers and trades.

It's not something new, he really look for teams that can bring him more championships in the future. No doubt that Bucks is still good, but some teams that won championship, it's hard to repeat and that's what the Bucks and Giannis experienced, they were not able to duplicate their success for multiple reasons.

So how can he achieved greatness if he just won one ring? Lakers, Spurs, and recently the Warriors are the teams that won multiple championship and some of the players, specially San Antonio Spurs have been recently inducted to the Basketball HOF.

He would like to make his job easier, and he believes that can be achieved by joining a team that is already a championship contender. With the Bucks, he knows that the team heavily relies on him, and he needs to work hard and play better if they want to win. However, with the Warriors, he can rely on players like Draymond, Klay, and especially Curry to carry the offense if he's not playing, which means less pressure on him and a happier playing environment.

It is going to be exciting if they can do it this season and if it's possible to make some trade offers to the Bucks. But if not, we have to wait until a year until he goes free agent. Anything is possible for a team that wants him badly and he badly wants to be with.

His free agency is so far away so many things can happen by then, with one of them being the Bucks winning another chip and having a top team. Why would giannis want to leave at that point. Or he gets injured and alters his desirability around the league, or any other thing that changes the current outlook. What we know now is the Bucks ain't in the market to trade him.

Maybe he just wants to try something new and that's the best team that he's seeing as a championship team that can bring him another ring. Just as what KD has thought of before. Yeah, he won't be traded right away but if the time comes and talks have happened, there could be a mutual and beneficial agreement that they can end up with. But as statements coming out like Kerr saying things that he'd like to coach Giannis and Giannis going to their team, well something might be cook in the nearest future with these collaborations, transfers and trades.

Steve Kerr is stirring the pot by saying that he would love to coach Giannis, saying he’s not only a great player but also a great person. I think that’s probably as much as he can say without getting fined for tampering, but it’s pretty clear that Golden State is going to do everything they can to try and sign Giannis when the time comes.

Yeah, it will be a limited statement, or else the NBA will be on his tail. Cheesy

Signing Giannis to the Golden State Warriors will probably cost them a lot of good players. Wiggins, and maybe even Klay or Draymond. But if the Bucks are interested they could take CP3 which means a great deal of money that will be released to their salary cap and they get someone that will be worth the price, no disrespect to CP3.
But it all sums down to what the Bucks will need. Giannis is one of the top of the league so I don't think they are just going to let him go. I am more sure that he will make him the face of their franchise.
I've seen some rumors regarding Jrue Holiday trade too but the source is not that convincing so I think it's just a rumor that will die quickly.

Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well, if Klay don't play well in the upcoming season, then I think he will be in the trading block. And if Giannis shows intention of joining, then maybe throw in Wiggins + future draft picks.

Not sure about Draymond though, he is the bedrock of the Warriors so I don't see the management letting go of him. And he just sign a good contract, so he could be out of the equation.

Suddenly I'm seeing a lot of talk about the Suns trading Bradley Beal... I don't even know if that's an option or something they would want, but I'm hearing names like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. I doubt the Suns would be willing to take on Harden as he's a huge risk and has already said he wants to be the number one option on whatever team he lands on, but Mitchell might be a legitimate option if they were trying to flip Beal. I'd personally rather have Beal as I think he fits in better with other stars, but Mitchell is an elite player when it comes time to show it.

Maybe the Suns might have qualms about the Beal acquisitions specially with that massive contract that they acquire. And if I'm not mistaken, Harden also wanted to play with Phoenix. However, this is just a mock trade if I'm not mistaken, so let's see how it goes.

Suns losing CP3, they might be looking at at someone that can play point. Harden might fit that role as he had triple doubles throughout his career. Mitchell though might be a hard pitch as they have Durant and Booker already.

If I will pick between the 2, it might be a controversial one, but I'd go with Harden rather than Mitchell.

Harden is more of a PG, Mitchell is more of a SG, Booker is more of a Shooting Guard. Harden, and Booker at the guard position would be better than Mitchell and Booker. Harden might be into many controversies in the last few weeks, but his passing abilities is one of the best, and in fact he's the top in the league last season in assists with more than 10 APG. Harden already adjusted his playstyle when he came into Brooklyn, and in Philly. The once all-star who is scoring more than 25 PPG is now scoring below, and now focusing more on passing, and that will benefit the whole Suns team who has many shooters.

Anyway, this might just be a rumor, so like you, I will also pick Beal as well, but I will not be surprised though if they will get Harden.
