Bledsoe/Vasquez
Knight/Goodwin
TJ/PJ/Hollis-Jefferson
Gibson/Patterson
Len/Wright

Could use another 1/2 and a 5.

Would love to get Meyers Leonard, but I doubt Portland gives him up. INF beat me to it by a couple years. Think he'll be back before the draft?

That's the worst shooting lineup in the league by a mile.

Patterson's a stretch 4. Knight's a tremendous 3 point shooter, and my bet is that TJ improves. Insert PJ for TJ and you're right where we are this season, in terms of the starting line-up (only Knight will play, hopefully). Vasquez is a superior 3-point shooter to Goodwin and should be getting the majority of the minutes in the back court. Compared to what we were trotting out at the end of this season, we're adding Knight and Vasquez as shooters and replacing Marcus with Pat.

So do you object to not getting a stretch 4 or to starting TJ? I would suggest losing Bled, but Coro seems to think we're sticking with him. That team has vets and should be more defense-oriented. Any way you look at next season, we're looking for Brandon, TJ and Alex to step up.

I would think so.

The combination. I'm agnostic about style of play, but I don't think you can win with only one reliable 3 point shooter in your starting lineup. Especially if that player is also tasked with initiating offense half the time.

Capette would also like Meyers Leonard.

I just want big guys. I'm tired of the 6'9 power forwards. I feel like guards are a dime a dozen. Getting an okay guard is easy. Overpaying for a slightly above average one is a waste especially when you aren't contending.

I would love to get Gobert, Nurkic, or Vucevic. Even someone like Olynyk would be nice although he is a step below the others probably. Of course their teams are unlikely to trade them but hell I would throw a lot of our assets to get another big to play next to Len.

Do whatever it takes to get good young bigs and then worry about the rest later.

Does anyone know if the Suns can sign Boban Marjanović this offseason?

His NBA out this year is really high. Someone said $5M. I assume we won't see him til '16.

Wow, that is a lot. You're probably right then.

Marcelino Huertas announced that he's coming to the NBA next year.

MarcelinHo, Bazz. Same as Leandrinho!

Inho means "little", "Little Marcelo", "Little Leandro".

BTW, I thought you were talking about Bogdanovic, the guy the Suns drafted and just butchered the name. I was unaware there was a player named Boban Marjanovic. So I have no idea on that player's status contract wise.

I thought they just made him up...

Sell my soul for LaMarcus Aldridge.

Kind of like that Simpsons episode when Homer sells his soul for a donut.

You can draft a player like him.

Yeah, it's a real guy. I thought he might be a good backup center. He's 7'4" and set an all-time record for most rebounds in a Euroleague season with 256.

He kind of looks like a character out of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but who cares. I could see him doing well in the position.

Who cares?! That's even better. Make it so!

Meh, I'd rather have the real thing and draft a shooter like Booker.

To be fair, that isn't hard because Odo can look like anything.
