Again, his wording was a little weird. Anyway, he said PHX never improved their offer from Friday and began to lose interest.
I think the Nets reasoning would be:
-We can flip Dorian for a first.
-We can probably flip Spencer for a first.
-Both guys fill a need.
-Tremendous upside to an unprotected pick from Dallas that many years out.
Suns offer:
-Both guys fill a need but probably lesser than the two Dallas will send us.
-No way to extract value from them.
-The above makes "only" one FRP way less attractive.
Zero chance you'd get three FRPs from them though.
