Take it for what it is worth - somebody named John Gambadoro is reporting:
The Miami Heat picks in question are a 2018 (protected 1-7, otherwise 2019 unprotected) and a 2021 unprotected.

This isn't true. Suns have never ever a trade under McDonough which has been leaked to the media first.

Boogie is getting traded
based on what exactly?

Hoopshype, ESPN and other sources have all released the rumors
Short answer, based on nothing. Long answer, there is a rumor that the Suns and Kings have had talks. Take rumors for what they are worth.

Keep in mind that the best I can tell, these rumors are all based off of a single article.

Gambadoro is known for being reputable.
Side note, if Kings made a trade for this type of package, I'm 100% done. This would be a garbage trade.

even if the kings "have had discussions" with the suns regarding demarcus cousins, that could simply mean that the suns called to inquire about demarcus' availability, and vlade listened to the proposed offer. it doesn't mean that the kings are in any way serious about trading boogie. in all probability, vlade is just doing his diligence, if only to make it clear that nothing less than a godfather offer will be enough to pry demarcus away.

exactly. Otherwise, why come out and state to the media that they plan on signing him to an extension in the offseason? just like the Lakers and Celtics last season, it's the Suns media stirring something up and making it seem as if there is actually preliminary talks here when in truth, it's wishful thinking on their part.

Lemme save you some time.
Every single trade rumor involving Boogie is false.

Don't worry. No sane Kings fan would buy into something this ridiculous.

Oh please.
Was this posted before or after the story on the Bigfoot sightings?
Here's the deal: teams will continue to call the Kings and offer various packages (in this case magically not even including their best players/prospects) in the hopes the Kings will panic and blink. At the same time, reporters will continue to make up stories with some foundation or no foundation right up through the trade deadline, because its an easy mark and they can hit their quotas while claiming a popular rumor that some subset will always buy into.
Meanwhile, its all nonsense, and we have a season to play. So shoo with this stuff.

If the two teams have talked, it would have been about either Knight or potentially Bledsoe (where PHX would have told us to get lost)
I don't know how credible this guy is, but:

Watched the Sixers broadcast yesterday and they said they talked to Vlade, who feels the team is close to where they need to be but may be one player away. (Which could start a whole other convo.)
But I mention it because I think this conversation went like:
"Hey Suns, we'll give you expirings for Bledsoe."
"No that's silly. We'll give you Len for Boogie."
"You sure you don't want another point guard instead?"
"is that a mean joke?"
"no, you're trade idea was *click"

The only Suns-Kings trade that will happen is Knight for Collison + filler.

And even that is something I don't want to see happen. The guy has been a net negative the past 4 seasons.

"...but it needs to be said that these talks occurred prior to Christmas and Sacramento hasn't had any major discussions with any other teams since announcing they intend to re-sign him."
kind of an important bit of info that they leave at the end of the story. must be a slow news day when they bring up "talks" that occured over a month ago that went no where, especially when dmc already agreed to an extension the kings said they will give him.

Actually Gambadoro has a pretty good track record on these kind of things. But my bet is that the Suns called the Kings with the offer, and the Kings said no. So it's possible that both teams did have a conversation about a trade, but that it went nowhere. I can't imagine that trade without either Booker or Bledsoe being included along with Chriss. Ridiculous!

Odd how the Kings are always on the short end (very short) of these "rumored" trade talks.
If there was even the remotest possibility that Boogie could be had for such a pathetic package, LeBron James better get in Dan Gilbert's ear because they could offer something better than that and all but guarantee LeBron another title in the process.
