Paul's dream shattered, triggering the Sun to swing!

The NBA preseason has already started, but there are some teams that have already given up on the new season, such as the Jazz, Spurs, and even the Suns, all of whom may choose to strategically give up on next season, and the reason for this is simply because of a young man named In Banyan.

Some NBA general managers see him as the next "Curry"-type character, and think he can also change the way basketball is played. One general manager of a team likely to compete for the top pick said: "He's a 7-foot Durant, he can cover, and he's not even close to his ceiling, he's going to be the hottest player since James." There are also some managers who think he'll once again start a swinging war like we've never seen before.

This speculation was largely confirmed during that recent showdown between In Banyan and Henderson, a game that drew 200 scouts and executives from 30 NBA teams to watch, although the Lakers' first-round pick was no longer available, still allowing James to make the trip over to watch, along with the Suns' Booker and Paul, which also illustrates In Banyan's impact.

Zimbabwean also unleashed himself in this game and played an extremely high quality game. He scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 5 caps, shooting 11 of 20 from the field and 7 of 11 from 3-point range. basically, he has locked up the first prize. Henderson, the opponent, had 28 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, shooting 11 of 21 from the field and 2 of 3. He is basically a lock for the top spot.

Given their excellent performance, some NBA managers, fearing that Embankment would get hurt, suggested snowballing him before the draft, but was rejected by Embankment's agent, who believed that for Embankment, basketball came first and everything else had to take a back seat. This also shows how high the heart of the prospect is, he has absolute confidence.

Stars are rare, think of the Spurs and Warriors are rebuilding teams, it is because the right players were selected to remain competitive, these players, but also to help the parent team won more than one championship, compared with the future, some teams strategically abandoned the new season, there is nothing surprising.

As in the off-season has not been quiet for the Sun, they also seem to have something different in mind. For the new season of the Sun, they have faced many problems in the off season. The first is that Aston's contract extension was delayed, and eventually the two sides were successful, but for Anton, it was just the Sun's last resort, not a real respect for himself, and also let Aston lose a lot of salary. After that is the problem of the Sun's owner, after being punished by the NBA, the Sun's next owner still has not surfaced. Crowded applied for a trade and refused to play in the preseason, and Paul's disputes with Booker and Anton have been ongoing to this day. In the preseason is lost to even Zhou Q can beat the 36 people team, these are the Suns away from the championship, seems to choose to compete for the first prize, but also a good choice.

Some experts in the foreign media suggested that the Suns make a 6-for-1 trade with the Thunder to send Booker to the Thunder, with the following specific possible trade options

Get from the Thunder: Alexander, Osman Deng, first-round picks in 2023, 2025 and 2027, and a first-round pick from the Jazz in 2024.

Once this deal is done, it means that the Suns enter a complete rebuild, stockpiling enough first-round picks so that the next owner can build the team to his liking and take control of it more easily. The two players acquired have a lot of potential.

Alexander, who was drafted by the Clippers in 2018, with the 11th overall pick, and then sent to the Thunder in the George trade, has shown more potential and fight than his contemporary, Paul George.

After Paul joined the Thunder, Alexander played 19 points per game, and with Paul's departure, he began to pick up the burden of being the Thunder's big man.

He has very outstanding athletic ability and consumes the ball well while still being efficient. He doesn't shoot many threes, choosing more mid-range shots and playing with high efficiency. On the defensive end, he has a height of 1.98m, an arm span of 2.12m, and an extremely fast crossover speed that allows him to keep up with the ball handler's drastic changes of direction and not be easily shaken off, allowing him to defend the vast majority of defenders.

After suffering an injury last season, Alexander has played against the Suns since his return from the All-Star weekend and has shined, shooting 13-of-22 from the field for 32 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists. He has already left a lasting impression on Suns fans.

Osman Deng, the No. 11 pick in the 2022 class, grew up playing point guard all the way, so he can fluently combine physicality, ball-handling ability, passing, ball-handling offense with the potential to double as a 2-4, and start fast enough; with the passing awareness and vision to cover half the court and catch teammates in open cuts. Last season, he averaged 8.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in the BBL. His potential is huge, and after the Suns get him, he may not be worse than Paul in his twilight years after patient development.

The deal also gives the Suns four first-round picks, enough to give them more options in the future. Once this deal is reached, then Paul will also be traded, if he goes to join forces with James, then the Suns will also be able to get the Lakers' first-round pick, plus Aston will also be able to trade for the first round, only needing a well-thought-out deal that can help the Suns get the first-round pick, once a player like Duncan or Curry is selected, then what can a year of patience count for. The only pity is still Paul, the championship dream will break again.

This deal is absolutely right for the Thunder in the reconstruction, the Thunder's debacle began with the trade of Harden, after that although also selected players with potential, but luck this thing is not always able to have, so until now, the Thunder did not slow down, so they need to change their team-building ideas again, choose to play out the All-Star players, but also a good choice.

Last season Booker can average 26.8 points, 5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 caps, shooting 46.6% from the field and 38.3% from three, he is the youngest Mr. 70 points, and he also has the finals experience, with his ability, enough to show the direction for the Thunder's players and lead them to create another glory.

Overall, the deal has strong interoperability, whether it can be reached, let's wait and see.
