Had heard reports of Kings F/C Marvin Bagley III in a walking boot & crutches yesterday.
I can relate.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

I think the darkest timeline for Suns fans is the one where we landed #2 in that draft and took Bagley over Doncic (which is what I suspect we would have done).

Bagley could still turn into something, but it’s been a rough 2 years.

Are you assuming that whomever got #1 that wasn't us would have taken Ayton over Luka?

Yes, and that's a fair assumption. 100% of the top 3 teams in that draft preferred other players to Doncic. The idea that another team would have taken Doncic #1 is pure speculation, unless that team is Dallas.

I thought the Kings had Bagley as their #1. And yeah, Dallas for sure.

I think the Kings also had Ayton as their #1.

The Heat have really done a nice job with their roster. Good depth, the pieces fit, and they are getting a lot of mileage out of just one star.

During Monday’s practice, Justise Winslow fell after absorbing contact during an intra-squad scrimmage. Medical evaluation revealed a hip injury, which will cause him to miss the rest of the season.

Winslow is expected to make a full recovery.

He has really struggled to stay healthy.

There is nba basketball happening right now. Magic vs Clippers. Just a scrimmage, but good to see.

I really liked Bol Bol as a player to get in the 2nd round with that pick that the Suns gave away to dump TJ. Kind of sad it didn't happen, as a defensive PF that can block a shot at the rim, bring the ball up the floor and hit a pull up 3 might look decent next to Ayton. I think INF also thought he was interesting, IIRC.
