Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
If we were to get the #1 pick, I think I would draft Zion and then throw however much money we possibly could at Kemba Walker. Or maybe it would be possible to work out a sign and trade with Charlotte?
Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
Kemba will likely get a max deal. But it could be possible to get the #1 pick and still clear enough space for a max contract to sign him outright.wpmiller42 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:50 amIf we were to get the #1 pick, I think I would draft Zion and then throw however much money we possibly could at Kemba Walker.

They have still been playing Dinwiddie off the bench. That’s why I’m thinking they might let Russell go, since they already signed Dinwiddie to an extension, plus they might need the cap space to sign other free agents.

An unconditional first round pick from this team? Way too juicy. I’m not giving up an unprotected pick for anybody but a HOFer in his prime.jonh wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:16 amWould you give up Tyler Johnson and an unconditional 1st round pick for Russell?

I like Rubio, but wish he could finish better and was a consistent outside threat.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:18 pmYou misspelled Ricky Rubio.wpmiller42 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:50 amIf we were to get the #1 pick, I think I would draft Zion and then throw however much money we possibly could at Kemba Walker.

You would have to trade a bunch for Kemba. I would rather make that trade for Lonzo.

I've been wondering if possibly that the future might may have Deandre playing possible pf alongside a shot blocking and rebounding center. If they win the lottery, I'm totally fine keeping him at center. If he develops a off the dribble drive game and extends his outside shooting to the 3 pt line, it wouldn't be the worst thing to have him play pf. He seems recently to play the dynamic athletic freaks well, that normally are able to bully their way into the lane.

Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
Oh Geez--wpmiller42, I don't mean to be offensive, but the if you are trying to spell "Ricky Rubio", and you actually ended up spelling "Kemba Walker", I would seriously look into that. I mean, the letters aren't even close to each other on the keyboard--I probably wouldn't have said anything you actually spelled "Rikcy Rubio", because that would be totally understandable, but man--you were way off on this on.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:18 pmYou misspelled Ricky Rubio.wpmiller42 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 11:50 amIf we were to get the #1 pick, I think I would draft Zion and then throw however much money we possibly could at Kemba Walker.

Just as an example, I personally type the letter "R" with my left hand, and "K" with my right hand.
Keep trying!

There are better options available on the trade market.Split T wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 7:40 amI agree, Russell won’t be available. I can’t see Brogdon being available either.

Mitchell Robinson would have been interesting.

Yeah, we're not getting Clint Capela or Mitchell Robinson.

Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
The guy you want next to Ayton is someone who can protect the rim, but is also a threat from the perimeter on offense. JJJ would actually be perfect. Keep an eye on Jamychal Green, he’s a FA and is hitting over 40% from 3 this year and provides a little shot blocking as well.
Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
I’ll just say this about Rubio...Utah fans...except the females...do not like Rubio. I live in Utah and they complain about him all the time. He’s just useless without the ball on offense and he’s not actually that good with the ball. I’d pass on him.
Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
Brandon Clarke in the draft his year could be really good next to Ayton.

Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
The Suns were rumored to be interested in him, I think, 3 or 4 years ago? He's a bench player but definitely rotation worthy.

I hate how inevitable it is that the Suns sign Rubio this summer. He’s probably already been on Zillow.

Re: Suns News: Week 20 2/25-3/3
Kemba is going to be a poor investment. Undersized, volume shooting point guards that shoot in the low 40s and average less than 6 assists is not a winning formula. Keep in mind he can command $30-40 million a year!JeremyG wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2019 12:25 pmKemba will likely get a max deal.

Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.
