Nah, he's so swaggy P to me. Can fill it up, but man I hate watching him and his irrational confidence.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Orlando had great incentive to lose, Milwaukee had every motivation to win. But this is what happens when the players don;t pay attention and play to win - they (the "tankers") tend to surprise us and win games on occasion that they have no business winning.

Kings are up on Miami by 15 mid-way through the 4th quarter.

More good news for the Suns if it holds up.

I think we're just about set in the bottom 3.

Orlando at 21 wins and an easy schedule from here out

Sacramento and Dallas at 22 wins(if Sacramento holds on) and have easier schedules than us

Chicago and NY have 23/24 wins, we won't catch them

Brooklyn at 21 wins and no reason to tank

I think Memphis is #1, so it's between us and Atlanta who gets the #2 spot.

And Miami outscores Sacramento 32-20 in the 4th quarter and it goes into overtime.

Suns legend Bogdan Bogdanovic with a huge 3 in OT! That 3 could end up being the difference between picking 1st and 15th instead of 5th and 16th.

McDonough is a visionary!

So McD send him to Sacramento to pull this off at this precise moment? Exquisite execution.

Sacramento wins (22-47), in overtime, now with 3 more wins than the Suns (19-50).
Orlando wins (21-48), now with 2 more wins than the Suns.

Milwaukee loses (36-32), now at 16th and one game behind Philadelphia (36-30) which would put them at the 17th pick and not convey their pick to Phoenix.
Miami loses (36-33), now at 15th and 1/2 game behind Milwaukee.

The HATERS are going to say he's a good player we shouldn't have traded, but McD is on a different LEVEL.

So we traded Bogdan as part of the deal that got us Chriss, right? Do we regret that? Looks like he is averaging 11.8 ppg on .452 fg% (.394 3pt%) in 27.7 mpg for the Kings, along with about 3 boards and 3 assists/game.

He's legit, and he plays a position were we need players. The regret is strong with this one.

Cap would disagree with you. He says Bogdan got paid too much, yet we have bums like Knight, Dudley, and Chandler on the bench making the same if not more.

Ever since we drafted Bogdan I've been saying he is a player. The guy has no apparent flaw to his game, defense included, and intangibles. The move was such an overpay...

I'm still not upset we don't have Bogdon. Chriss doesn't look like he's gonna pan out right now, but I think the risk at the time was worth it. I still wouldn't want to pay Bogdon the 9 or 10 million a year he's getting. Put it another way, if we used our cap space this summer to sign Bogdon to his current deal, would you be happy? I'd be pretty underwhelmed.
