I thought KD would be a target at the trade deadline at some point. Although after thinking about it and what it will cost, I am thinking that it won't happen. I believe both Gafford and PJ would HAVE to be included in any trade with all our picks to get PHX attention. Knowing it will take a lot more, makes me think it is a pipedream.
If you take the Luka mess away for a moment, you can see the team they are looking to build. With the age and play style, it needs to be a deep team. big guys inside and length on the wings. I really think they need to prioritze a deep roster and not cheap minimum type guys.
The issue, even if you think there is a path to contention, the roster is not there yet. I am having trouble to find that last guy who can be a third best player on a championship team. Ideally, we would have debates if the third best player is player X, Lively or PJ.
