Wormwood--you are crazy! You just said you expect him to be a murderer? Not saying it's likely, but domestic abusers are much more likely to escalate. In any event, suns are at high risk to have to deal with all sorts of bad legal and behavioral issues coming from him. The kid is trouble. You'd thi...

I agree in that Jackson is hard for me to get excited about. But I don't think there is a lot of evidence that he'll be violent or criminal. Let's give him a chance. "University of Kansas basketball player Josh Jackson was charged Friday with a misdemeanor count of criminal damage to property ...

Jackson is a s*** pick that we will regret. Even if he does actually develop a 3 point shot (which, on a team with crap 3 point shooting, makes him even less useful), the domestic violence thing says that he's likely to be a horror in the locker room, a blight on the community, likley to commit oth...

That would be awful.

We gave away 2 first rounders to rid ourselves of a good player like Kurt Thomas. This is a steal by comparison.

How much do we want Knight gone? I could see us offering Knight + #4 for Aldridge

My order of precedence, assuming they're still on the board:

1. Ball

2. Isaac

3. Tatum

4. Jackson

5. Markkanen

Contract notwithstanding, I don't see Knight as a threat to Fox's playing time. The carcass of Meadowlark Lemon would get court time over Knight at the moment. He plays enough D that someone might accidentally trip over him, or draw a charge. Seriously, though, I'm hoping either Ball falls to us, o...

Sarver and McDonough went to Vegas for a private work out with Isaac a few days ago and did not tell the media. Chad Ford has us taking Da'aron Fox at #4 right now. Barf. Just what we need: another undersized PG who can't shoot and can't pass all that well either. I would be very happy with Isaac a...

Why are we talking about Ball? He's going at #2 to the Lakers, almost beyond a shadow of a doubt. Frankly, I'm more and more up on the idea of taking Isaac at #4. He's passing the eyeball test for some sportswriters I trust, and the forecasting algorithms have him at the top of the field in terms of...

FT shooting is usually an indicator of one's ability to shoot. Even if they can't hit the 3 in college, but shoot in the 70s+ from the line, the form and consistency is there. Jackson's form is shaky and he moved his hand to the left side of his head when he shoots. He shoots well in rhythm, but I ...

I'd trade back, and take Isaac if I could. Home run potential, and my insider in the valley is really high on him. Last time he liked a guy this much was Russel Westbrook. Jackson is hugely risky as well. Domestic abusers often end up in very, very bad places, and put teams in terrible positions (a ...

I say trade the ****ing pick. The players available at 4 really are terrible fits for the modern NBA game and our team. Can't shoot threes, domestic abusers, tweener guards, lazy defenders.

Ugh. Just ugh.

Trade the pick for something unprotected 10 years from now.

I'm going to utter blasphemy.... If we don't get the first or second pick, I'd rather trade down and get Lauri Markkanen at 7-10. Jackson and Tatum's shitty 3 point shooting, and Monk's lack of passing ability are all the things that are already killing this team. We need distributors and shooters m...

Serious question...

Why doesn't A. Williams get more burn? By every statistical measure he is the best PF, on the team. He's also arguably as good a center as Tyson Chandler, and way better than Len.

Decided to do 100 myself: Jayson Tatum 41% Lonzo Ball 34% Josh Jackson 25% I'd prefer them in reverse order, Jackson, Ball, then Tatum. I think Josh Jackson can be an Andre Iguodala like player, not someone you want as your #1 option, but he will do just about everything well. I don't know about Ba...

I ran Chad Ford's draft simulator 100 times. Results as follows: Lonzo Ball: 43% Jayson Tatum: 33% Josh Jackson: 24% All Others: 0% Of these, I LOVE Ball. He's going to be VERY special. Like, Steve Nash or Russell Westbrook special. If Ball wasn't available, but Fultz was, he'd be next on my board a...

Knight isn't weighing the Suns down and it's not going to cost them a high first to get rid of them. What free agents have we missed out on because of his salary? What young player have we had to let go because of a salary cap issue? Bender is not a Tskishvili, that is a lazy comparison based on be...

My take on the team: Booker is the only untouchable, but his defense sucks. Bledsoe is good... but I don't know that he can lead a winning team. His 3 point shooting and passing are both average for a starter. Knight is a horrific defender. Second worst in the league per Adjusted RPM. It's gonna cos...

Which think tank, by the way, without giving away too many details? Work with a guy named Loren?

We have about 1700 employees. We're also biggest name in FFRDCs.
