I said probably, which I would have thought it would be a clear sign that I wasn't saying anything definitive. And last time I checked, judgments usually are definitive.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
Nice. These are a bunch of the players that will be available at 14.

According to my latest mock drass, the Suns are taking Harris #14. LaVine is gone at 9, Young goes #15 and Hood falls to the Thunder at #21.

Business just picked up
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
Re: Suns News: The Offseason
I would trade up for LaVine.Ring_Wanted wrote:LaVine is gone at 9

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
Of this latest list, who would you want the Suns to pick, if they are all available at 14?
I am intrigued by LaVine, but if the Suns don't move up in the draft and/or trade the 14th pick, I think I would take Young out of this group.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
On second thought and re-evaluating Young, I'm changing my mind. Thanks, INF. I guess I thought he was a better defender, but he's not really very good. I'm going with LaVine, then Harris.INFORMER wrote:I really don't have any interest in James Young.In2ition wrote:Of this latest list, who would you want the Suns to pick, if they are all available at 14?

"It's really hard to win that way and also the roster spots are limited. You only get 15, so you can't I don't think (have) more than half your team be either first, second, or third year players and also try to be competitive and make the playoffs and advance in the Western Conference."

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
It sounds more like he's thinking of these picks more as assets to improve. He's technically right, that would put too many young players on the team over that time, but I hate to see him say these things and paint himself into a corner while devaluing the picks/assets.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
From his interview today. It's not surprising. Capela is athletic and he can be stashed in Europe, thus preventing the cataclysmic presence of THREE rookies being added to the roster.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
Lol. Yeah, I can see that. I'm guessing he would try to get him later in the draft and not at 14, unless he moved up.INFORMER wrote:From his interview today. It's not surprising.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
I really wanted the Suns to get a pick and take Ibaka back in the day, but they didn't listen to me. Capela would be a good candidate for draft and stash.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
I think he would be in play at 18.

Re: Suns News: The Offseason
I agree Capela is high on the Suns' wish list, just reading between the lines. I also wonder if McDonough talking about picks like this is a way of shaking the tree, so to speak, to gauge what teams would give up for one/some of the picks.
