It's pretty evident that Mike D'Antoni is not a Marquese Chriss fan.

Because he’s a bum who’ll be playing overseas next year.

What a horrible, horrible draft that was for us.

All the more reason not to trade current and future assets for higher picks. There were legit players taken after we drafted both guys.

I don’t agree with this...there is always players taken later that are good. The higher you are in the draft, the better shot you have at getting a good player. Should dallas not have traded up for Luka?

Book needs to start wrappping it up or keeping it in his pants....might be a little NSFW.

He was clearly a top player. You move up for him. Did anyone think Chriss was a top player? I don't think anyone here was clamoring to take him.

LOL I didn't even read thru. It's a slideshow and I got annoyed.

Chriss' red flags were well known by most going into his draft. Earl wanted to be his daddy and make him his pet project.

Gotta stay away from those THOTs. That should be a class at the freshman orientation program for the NBA rookies. Hell, they should do that in college.

I wonder how much money an "Instagram model" makes, if any. Pretty amazing that that is a career you can list now.

I would assume more than a magazine model. IG pays the best for CPM, from what I hear.

If they have enough followers, they may also be able to travel or stay in fancy hotels for free so long as they promote them.

oh I just deleted my post about Book in the Suns News thread, didn't realized it came up in here.
did anyone take a look at the full scoreboard across the league last night. I don't think I have ever seen so many games in one night be blowouts , four teams losing by 30+
guess the Warriors were super locked in for the "best team in the West" and sent a message last night

I noticed that too. It helps the Suns, since no one was talking about that game other than Suns fans. Even Pacer fans just shrugged.
