After all that grousing the Suns only got their pick back this season, a bunch of second rounders, Dillon Brooks, and a guy that they have made absolutely clear they don’t want on their team lol

Miami apparently made a huge effort to get KD so I wonder how fast they’ll pivot to DeMar now.

Sixth man is a role nba players forgot about

I’m sure they aren’t going to hold on to him long term
This must mean packaging 29, 52, 59 to move up, right? Man, no way Wolf is a top-10 player, just no way.

But, why?
As has been the plan all along

not a bad haul for a 37 year old who has constantly changed teams every couple of seasons. I don't know if Phoenix plans on keeping those 5 second rounders or package them to get a late first, but it's still multiple chances at finding a gem in the second round, which is ideal for a team that may be on the cusp of a rebuild when they see Green & Booker won't amount to much as the core pieces.
Then it doesn't look like they'll be getting DDR either.

“Why won’t the Kings trade me DDR for Terry Rozier’s money and a conditional second rounder?” -Pat Riley probably
They had to save those assets for Demar, duh
I suppose we have to hope that they weren't high on one year of 37-year-old Durant, because we can't just give them DDR for free.

I wouldn't mind taking Davion back and some second rounders that aren't "junk" picks
