The sooner this is over the better.
Glad I'll be asleep and wake up once it's all over.
Not having access to much college ball this year I've no real opinions on players, but want us to make a decision and stick with it. We've started a youth movement to be competitive in 2-3 years, we should continue as such and move Bled. Get a new starting point guard and fill in the gaps we have on the wing. If some of that can get done tonight then great. Just don't throw it away for a short term chance at the 8th seed for the next few years.
What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

Make it easy...take Jackson and don't play around with it. Draft JOSH JACKSON Ryan...
I'd love it. He's a great fit.

Gambo also saying we're talking to the Pelicans about sending Dudley for 2nd round pick(s).

Luke Kennard looks like a banker.
I hope we don't select that fourth guy off the bus.
How I know someone would beat me to it lol
This video was great for getting a look at how some of these guys actually looked next to each other heightwise

In a few hours I'll need to sell myself on JJ. I'll be disappointed unlike last year but it's cool.
Go Suns!

I'd support that move.
So would Jared, I imagine. And Dragan should be happy with the move too.

I'm fine with Jackson and makes the most sense. I think DeAaron Fox may be the BPA though. I'm worried about his ability to play a certai position in the L, but the kid has the most star potential I think of Him,tatum,Jackson.

I'd go
1.Fox
2.Jackson
3,Tatum




BTW....I hate it that the Lakers are going to get the best player in this draft:( I'll be rooting against him, but I think Lonzo will be a better NBA player then Fultz. I'm confident in saying it too.
“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.”

Would be an obvious precursor to something else. Something Unfortunate such as Aldridge or Love for #4:(

I think it would be more about freeing up playtime for Jackson/Bender. Or that is what I am hoping. I tend to think the whole "Dudley as a great veteran presence" thing is overrated as well. If he was setting such a good example for the young guns, he wouldn't be 30-pounds overweight all season. Plus, getting out of the remaining money on his contract would great.

Does the fact that over the past 48hours Rumors of the suns trying to "unload" Bled after him being Ryan's boy shock anyone? I mean I think it's definitely the right move, but could De'Aaron Fox be the pick at #4?

I'm open to most trades involving Bledsoe. :)

If Bledsoe is moved it most likely means we stay with the youth movement.

Feels like Fox is the pick if we're really shopping bled. No interest in Mudiay. Would love Mitchell at 13 or Ntilikina if he falls. Anunoby would be interesting too

I've seen that fox is sarvers guy, so he could absolutely be the guy at 4.

Fox has "it". Although if we draft Fox why would we want Mudiay? Got to think Ulis and Fox would occupy the point.

I think we'd look hard at Adebyo and J Collins. Strong athletic bigs that can get out and run. I also like Ferguson or Mitchell.
