The Suns/Raptors were going back and forth re: Ochai/Richards on whether they would include one or two 2nd round picks

1. Richards is genuinely awful. Suns would rob us

2. This remind me of raptors trading for someone like Khem birch. I’m sorry, I just don’t see how this trade is going to move the needle and propel this team forward.

3. I thought Nick Richards was the last resort. don’t tell me Bobby went for him as plan A 😭

4. Im good on that tbh shoulda kept Robinson instead of trading for this bum

5. He’s big and can grab a rebound I’m down

6. “Also going below the luxury tax, which is something in the periphery for this franchise…”

   Way to bury the lead 

   This is a money move.

7. not only do we take a bum for ochai we also have to give picks for the bum? Keep GM’ing Bobby we love what you are doing for us.

8. Honestly this sub reddit kind of has it backwards. This isnt a big 3 assembling like we have seen in the past with teams or this isnt a borderline 1 or 2 piece away from championship contentention team.

   This is a team on year 3 of a rebuild with a lot of moving pieces past 3 yrs. It’s too early for this sub to turn into the 41-41 choked against bulls in playins. 17-13 alot better than 7-21 like last yr this time. Its really lame when the doom and gloom crowd comes up

9. two for RIchards? Find anyone else dawg

10. what a sad franchise smh . two picks for a fucking bum. my god if this happens bobby needs to be fired. horrible management. in what world is richards worth more than ochia?both are trash but atleast ochai was alright last year

11. we’re all dreaming about the moves we can make to compete now and move towards contending, while really the directive is probably to just duck the tax at all costs.

12. Give them 5 firsts atp

13. Giving up two srps just to save billionaires money is ultimate Fandom depression

14. They should try getting Jock Landale from Memphies instead of Richards

15. Bobby ain’t it

16. At the end the day it does not move the needle (either way) but two seconds rounder plus Ochai for Richards feel like an overpay to me .

    I mean it’s not that dramatic but I am not sure why the second 2nd rounder would be necessary.

    But I also kinda understand that a playable centre even if only a second / third string while also getting under the tax can come at a premium cost

17. I’m sorry Richards is not that good that you have to give up multiple seconds

18. We spent a FRP on Ochai just to trade him for Nick Richard’s. And we gotta include a 2nd
