KD is old and expiring
Houston should do that trade would be an upgrade over Brooks

It's a good lesson for Perry and the Kings. Do not be the Suns in another 2-3 years. Do not go all in at once with slim little window like that. Especially when you don't have a Booker level player to still make sense of it if you do blow it up.

I’ve been loving the playoffs but Now I’m fully ready for the season to end so we can get to the crazy offseason

it's only about 3 months of dry heat which still beats moist heat and you are golden the rest of the way

Lots of names being linked with the Knicks job. It’s going to be interesting to see who they pick and what they do with their roster as it’s currently got a number of Thibs guys on. It wouldn’t surprise me if they try to make a big trade this off season to reshape their roster.

Golden? Really?? The average high in Phoenix in April is 85. In may, 95. In June, 104. In July, 106. In August, 104. In September, 100. In October, 89. That's four brutal months with uncomfortable shoulders on either side. I live outside of DC, and June through August sucks for the humidity, but we have a proper spring, a proper autumn, and a proper winter. It's easier to deal with moist heat when you know it's going to end, unlike spring/summer in Phoenix. Or even spring/summer in Sacramento, for that matter. The heat just drags on and on and on and on. I'll take four distinct seasons over six months of sweat.
At #2? No way Maluach lasts to #14.

Yeah, I have no idea what the Spurs are trying to do here unless they’re planning on moving up/down because Maluach is not in the range of either of their picks unless his medical records come up like Bol Bol’s

If the Celtics are smart, they wait. If they want to trade Brown trade him next season when he might be leading the league in scoring on a team going nowhere until Tatum is back, haha.

If he's working out with teams and looks a little slothy up close he could.

I suppose the term golden applies to someone who's lived in the city for 20+ years and the heat doesn't bother as it would for an individual coming from the east coast. Hence all the snow birds in our peak weather seasons and as soon as June 1st hits, everyone is gone.

Well, this is likely true of just about anybody who's lived in a place for 20+ years! That level of familiarity always brings with it a certain amount of acclimation and acceptance. But for NBA players who get traded to new franchises in new cities with some frequency, I imagine there's a bit of climate and culture shock from time to time.

despite the weather in the summer months, Phoenix is a very appealing city to potential new NBA players. Lots of action over here, lots to do for every individual depending on what he/she is into.
Padrino

Sure, but that's nothing unique to Phoenix, specifically. You could say the same about tons of NBA cities. Even a smaller market like New Orleans has "lots to do for every individual depending on what he/she is into".

New Orleans? eh I don't see it. Living here as long as I have, I see it with my own two eyes how every couple of years, more and more out of towners are moving here and to accommodate the high demand, they are building more real estate and expanding our highways because of the congestion.
Padrino

Well that represents a failure of imagination on your part more than anything else.The reason people are moving to Phoenix is because of its steadfast commitment to building new housing developments. It's more affordable to buy in Phoenix than many other major cities in the US. And post-pandemic, with the continued spread of work-from-home opportunities in the job market, those who haven't been able to afford a home are pinpointing Phoenix as a worthwhile landing spot. But this is of no concern to an NBA player, for whom affordability is not an obstacle.
