Meaning..."I don't want to give up any of my precious or put myself out there if it doesn't work out". I will be very disappointed if the Suns don't make some significant changes this off-season when they have the opportunity and means to do so.
On the other hand, I don't want them to be making moves just to make moves.

True, I agree with that.

What is the point of stock piling assets if you aren't going to use them. Cash them in before your next contract, Ryan. Put it all on the table.

This draft is just so stacked with high end talent it would be a shame if we were willing to move up for Chriss but won’t do the same for an actual elite player. The likelihood of any of our future picks bringing a return as talented as a top 8 pick this year is very low

To be fair, its far easier to obtain a turd like Chriss in a weak draft than it is to go get one of the top guys this year.

Sure it is. But we absolutely have the assets in hand to do it if we want.

I guarantee us as Suns fans value our assets much more than most. That Milwaukee pick? Nobody is gonna be over the moon for that, the Heat pick could be really good, still no guarantee, 16? Meh, decent. Now if you wanna move Jackson, I think that opens a lot of lines up, Warren less so. Our main avenue would be eating a terrible contract in concert with giving up our stocked up wares. Really depends on where we wanna get, empty it out for a Doncic? Use a few to move up 6 or so picks?

If Memphis is serious about getting rid of parsons I can’t see how they don’t take Warren + 16 + Mil + Miami + our own 19

four first rounders and a solid player is a big haul to dump a bad contract even with the #4 going back. I would totally say yes if I am the Suns, so that makes me think it won't happen.

SUNS back on the clock. This pick will make or break this off-season.

Ha ha. I just figured out who Joshua Jackson is. I blame you, 'Bazz if we're not great. ;)
