Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
GTFO with that nonsense. Bridges is a stud.But the Miami pick was our best asset?!?!

Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
I just wonder if the Suns could have held firm at the MIL pick + #31. Love Mikal though.
Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
The big question is, why would philly offer mikal to phoenix in the first place?
Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
I cant get bent outta shape over a pick thats 3 years away. What a waste of time. Bridges fills such a huge need for this team on the perimeter, him and Jackson has dynamite potential defensively, they will help cover Booker on that end and ease some of the scoring on the other. Bridges also makes space for Ayton to operate because he's an elite shooter. We got our Battier, you're gonna see his value day one.
Fire Frank Vogel.

Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
Mikal will be the one that plays PF. I'm not willing to proclaim Okobo a starting PG yet (obviously.) I do like him though.
Go Suns!

Add Okobo to the list of guys we've drafted who are two years away from being two years away. If he's ever something solid in the league, it probably won't be until his second contract.

He can shoot now..he may never develop into a PG but I think he can be a useful bench scorer during his rookie dealFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 10:24 pmAdd Okobo to the list of guys we've drafted who are two years away from being two years away.

Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
There's still a thing called free agency.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
I hope you're right, but I need to see him in Summer League before I'll believe he can reliably contribute anytime soon.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 10:26 pmHe can shoot now..he may never develop into a PG but I think he can be a useful bench scorer during his rookie dealFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 10:24 pmAdd Okobo to the list of guys we've drafted who are two years away from being two years away.

Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
This is a problem in terms of assets management. If you are calling me about your homegrown kid freshly drafted at #10 and you are offering to trade down all the way to #16, I have to know that you value the prospects basically the same. I have to stay strong and not give up a premium asset, period. You want the MIL pick or a lottery protection on MIA pick? Fine. But surrendering the unprotected pick is an overpay no matter how you slice it.
I won't fault the GM for taking this gamble, though. The prospect could be worth it, but you are putting him on a tough position, especially since we have a number of players taking his space, so you have put yourself in a corner and now you esentially are forced to make a move to send out someone, even if you truly believe Bridges can play PF.
Re: Mikal Bridges, Welcome to Phoenix!
I am really interested to see who initiated it. Curious if McD called them about Mikal when they took him and asked who was their second choice, and if he is there at 16, can we make a deal. Especially considering all of the turmoil in their FO.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:57 amThis is a problem in terms of assets management.
