Ayton clearly wanted out, but now he’s on a tanking team.

They got depth, which they heavily needed. Ayton was never going to be the player that he wants to be in Phoenix and the Suns were never going to use him in that way either.

At this point Suns are not even the favorites anymore. Dame Giannis? WTF?
thayungsavage
Wish there was a way for us to grab Jrue

These guys can’t guard a beach ball
How long does it take Nurk to get 4 fouls vs Jokic or AD

AD gonna gain so much weight off this bbq chicken

Dame and giannis are fr scary ngl

We will see how the bucks defense holds up losing 2 of their main on ball defenders

Pelinka needs to get on the phone with Portland now and get Jrue.
LoveTheHustleBud
Nurkic, Grayson Allen, nassir little and Keon Johnson.
I think ayton>nurkic, but for what aytons role is gonna be, nurkic can absolutely fill that for them. They’re now a 3 star team with very solid depth.
Ranieboy
The only good thing the Suns get in that trade is Allen and maybe Little. Nurkic is just so washed last season especially on defense like I don’t understand this trade at all.
They say is for depth but is Grayson Allen really worth it for you to sacrifice your Inside and pick/roll defense?

They filled out their bench with NBA players

We need to get jrue! Send them dlo and something
CabbageStockExchange
They downgraded from Ayton sure but Nurk will do his job and not need touches. Also they got some badly needed depth. This was a better trade for the suns than it looks. Especially since it seemed clear Ayton wasn’t happy in Phoenix
Bigpoppalos
I guess they wanted to get weaker at defending bigs. Cool with me
Lucieddreams
Is Nurkic really worth creating the most stacked team in the league? 😂 Do they just WANT the bucks to be better than them?

Feels like the Suns gave up more for Nurkic than the Bucks did for Lillard
lebronjames1024
They are so poorly constructed, no defense, no size, no real point guard, Three isolation heavy scorers, what a mess.
wldtiv
Wait til pelinka grabs jrue for a second round pick lol

I would argue PHX offense is they defense cuz who can guard them 3. Its the same argument Kyrie woulda helped beat Denver. Or Dame would help Miami beats Denver. Cuz now Jokic is on an island. Murray now has to play real defense and he gets burnt out trying to guard them dudes.
gleamgrl
Their roster is more injury-prone than ever, KD and Bradley Beal missed 246 games combined since the 2019-20 season adding Nurk to this is like adding gasoline to a fire 😬
TorontoRaptors34
Suns have zero defense they gotta pray for health and that KD BOOK and Beal can get 40 a piece

Tyler Herro becoming the new Myles Turner

This also feels like a pretty weak return for Portland. I don’t really get this from any perspective other than Milwaukee

Suns been tired of Ayton and vice versa

This was a W for the Suns. They got rid of Ayton’s albatross contract. And they added depth.
NordicLard
Should we try and get Jrue?

Lowkey think the Suns did a great job filling out that roster after spending on Beal.

Getting a better defensive player for no assets….
