Agree. Phoenix is still just one serious CP3 injury away from being out of playoffs.
To be fair, we can honestly say the same thing about any team in the league without their top player(s). Even a LeBron led team missed the playoffs because he missed too many games; we all know what happened to GS last year, so on and so forth.
A KP injury is as much as a possibility, do we make the playoffs without a significant KP presence next year?
The move doesn't make PHX a contender but they got a lot better, on par with DAL but their youth upside may be the difference; people forget Ayton only played 38 games last season.
PHX went on their undefeated bubble run without Oubre so doubt they'd miss him too much with Mikal Bridges (better 3/D potential) waiting in the wings. Oh and they got pick #10.
