Cheick Diallo, Denzel Valentine, Joel Bolomboy, Malcolm Brogdon too.

I would never trade the #4 for Love, but I would be in favor of moving Bledsoe and a future protected to the Bulls, Butler to the Cavs, and Love here. I think Love's rebounding, passing, and stretch ability can help foster a brand of basketball that will help the Suns develop their young players.

I don't necessarily think that's a good thing, but could help Brandon build his value back up in the league. It seems like the Suns are half way ready to pull the trigger on a big deal, but without including almost all the young core talent.
It is a possibility.

Sounds good to me. Our basketball viewing experience would improve immensely.

I've cooled on Love. I don't see how he DOESN'T stunt the growth of our young guys. Need as many mins for Chris and Bender as possible. We still have Chandler and Dudley who will once again "need" mins to start the season if they are still here.

I am not in favor of adding Love to this team, as is. But if there was a way we could swap Bledsoe for him, sign me up.

To ruin the development of our young forwards and get mired at 35-40 wins for the next decade?

Someone talk some sense into me, I'm slightly intrigued by going after Blake griffin this off-season.

Draft Jackson, sign Blake

Bledsoe/Ulis
Booker/Reed
Jackson/Warren
Griffin/Chriss
Chandler/Bender

Someone tell me I'm crazy

Please no. Blake is always injured and doesn't play well in 4th quarters or big games.

Me too, but I still dreaming of Porzingis around here

Bledsoe, Love, Miami's '18 & Chriss and to NY (Maybe swap the Miami pick for our #4)
Melo to Cleveland
Porzingis and Noah to Phoenix

The Knicks are in talks with Melo to buy out his contract. This will help another team get him on the cheap. The only way I see Melo traded, was if there was something planned to buy him out or just release him by the team he is going to. This would free up cap room for NY. Cleveland wouldn't do something like this because of what they are losing and they don't have the cap room to bring him in. They want to add him on the cheap without losing anything. Also, the Clippers want the same thing.

Listening to the podcast reminded me of all the variables in play tomorrow , I'm suddenly a lil nervous now lol not to mention Woj reiterating the fact that the success of most young teams comes down to type of owner and type of coach #theawfultruth :?
Well fingers crossed 8-)

This guy has been tweeting quite a few things this morning about us. Take it with a grain of salt.

If true though you pull that trigger.
