  1. I know Nick doesn’t have a ton of trade value, but what is it with this team and second round picks?

  3. tell me that second pick is not one of the great seconds we have but

    LETS FUCKING GO BYE RICHARDS

  5. I like it, Okogie is only on a 2 year 16 mil deal so we aren’t taking on a ton of salary next year and Moussa gets his minutes

  8. Well some suns fans are sad to lose Okogie so I guess that’s good, plus it means our teams collective bbiq just quadrupled so that’s always a plus.

  9. Absolute fleecing lol. We get the best player in the deal too. Okogie a very legit defender on a tradeable contract.

  11. Great.

    I think the Suns only had exactly 3 2nds to trade, so I know what these are based on process of elimination.

  15. Suns fan here – whether he gets minutes or not you’ll love Josh Okogie. Always hustling. Great defense. Good rebounding – especially offensively – for his size.

    He has historically been one of the worst shooters in the NBA which stops him from being a great player, but he’s out there trying hard and doing the little things every time. Never giving up. He’s fun to watch.

  17. Now all of you can finally start complaining about please get rid of… *checks notes*… Josh Okogie!

  19. I hope we’re gonna get Moussa out of the G League and into the permanent 2nd string center spot he deserves now!

  23. Why the hell are we send a 2nd though? That’s my only real concern with this.

    Taking the Okogie contract to match salaries is a good idea because next years money is non-guaranteed, which means we are still setting ourselves up to be one of the few cap space teams.

  25. Yall are going to love JO. He is limited offensively, but he’s got that do Dog in him, plays 110% at all times is is a great team mate/bench hype guy.

    As a suns, what can I look forward to with Nick?

    Also, what am I going to be yelling at the TV about?

  27. Suns fan here—what’s up with Richard’s? I hardly know anything about his game.

    Okogie is awesome. He’s not just hustle, but steals, ball pressure, and maybe one of the best rebounding guards I’ve ever seen. He blocks 7-footers with regularity when he’s on the floor. You got a real one 🤙🏽🤙🏽

  29. Good trade. Eventually, we are going to have to pull the trigger on something big to get Melo and Miller some help. Can we do it? Or are we just stockpiling 2nd round picks? That’s the question.

  30. Nice, we got rid of our worst 2nd this year (we had 4 picks) and got extra 2nds for the future. We lose two seconds if the Spurs 1st doesn’t convey this year. Got the better player too and freed up minutes for THE MOOSE.

    Another massive Jeff Peterson W imo

  31. Congrats Hornets you fleeced us of one of our best defenders and an absolute dog with hustle. Fuck. Hype me on Richards please?

  33. Excellent. Now do Josh Green for Nurkic straight up and everyone wins. As far as I’m aware – the Suns can’t send multiple players in the same trade due to being over the apron. Otherwise everyone could have been packaged together
