Draft Knight:

Kings - Bender, Bledsoe, Warren, Chandler, Suns 2018 and 20 1st.

Wizards - Chriss, Sun 2017 1st (assuming top 5), Knight, Len

Suns - Wall, Cousins.


Bledsoe/ Afflalo/ Temple/ Bender/ WCS
Pick/ Beal/ Porter/ Chriss/ Len
Wall/ Booker/ FA/ Dudley/ Cousins


Kings get a ton of assests and future unprotected 1st.

Wizards get a top 5 pick Chriss and Knight an cut ties Wall who isn't taking them anywhere. The suns pick and their own allow for a promising haul in a great draft.

Suns give both young cornerstones a fresh start while retaining Booker, this is automatically a 50 win team and they have cap space for free agents.

I know people will say Boston could do better bit those Nets picks are worth less then over the summer and Ainge is super cheap.

It's a pretty crazy trade but if the Suns had that team I don't think that they would finish in the bottom 5.

That would be this years suns team which is already on pace to finish bottom 5.

There is no way in a million years this would ever happen. Although I'll say the assets are actually pretty even, but it doesn't really make each team better. The Suns would have no assets and Cousins could just leave after next season, the 2018 would have to be a swap. Honestly I don't think any team would want this.

Sooo. PHX gets 2 guys. who both don't want to be with the Suns. and PHX gives up 7 guys and 2 picks? Seriously? One year into their own "youth movement". and they break that up to put 2 All-Stars and a new group together to finish what .7th.8th in the West for 1 year until those guys leave? How many times has Boogie led the Kings to anything. other than getting coaches fired? So. Suns would walk away from this one for certain.

Such a retarded trade idea for the Suns. Only thing suns will need to be a playoff team is a PG (next draft), a proper coach, some contract extensions (Len and Warren) and 2 years of patience.

Lets just assume things go really bad the next 3 years. Assuming Warren can't maintain his current form or stay healthy and will be an often injured a 15-5 guy, booker does not improve, Len does not improve, Bender only becomes a rich mans Channing Fyre and Chriss will turn out not to be an NBA player. That would still allow the Suns to shuffle and build via the draft. With that proposed trade they have nothing but two stars who have underperformed next to another star/ 2 semi stars (maybe not individually but on a team level, and that's what counts) . High risk, likelyhood of beating Clevland or GS still zero.

IF things turn out well. :
- Coach learns how to have the team run a proper offense. - Bender turns out to be another Dirk, just a bit more defense and a less offense.
- Len becomes a Top 10 rim protector and rebounder (note: Top 10, not top 5)
- Warren maintains the form he has shown so far and becomes a starting SF averaging 20-5 shooting 50% and 40% from three
- Chriss emerges into a decent pick and roll option and stretch 4/ 5 hybrid to complete the main front court rotation with Bender, Len and Warren
- Booker will be a consistant 20-25 ppg Scorer with proper shooting percentage
- Suns get to draft a proper PG in Ball next summer who can grow for one year behing Bledose before he takes over

None of these later points seems to far fetched. If the coach can put these great individual pieces together and get Spurs like efficiency from the available talent, this could be a great team for a long time. Chances are a lot higher with that than this silly Cousins+Wall idea.

Could of just said Suns say no.
