Suns 2014: NBA Draft
Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I think we move up for either Gordon or LaVine.
Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I predict that LaVine drops out of the lottery.

I personally cant see that, his upside is tremendous.

I predict we will trade away some of our draft picks to Atlanta as part of a deal in which we acquire Al Horford.

I also think LaVine is there at #14.
I also think someone else (Stauskus? Harris?) slips to that spot.
I think we make at least 1 trade.

Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I predict right now we somehow either at 14 or 18, draft Warren. We trade away another pick as part of a deal for either a future pk or player and we draft a euro.
So...
Warren
Euro
Trade
So...
Warren
Euro
Trade

Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I wouldn't be opposed to moving up for LaVine (I'd probably prefer Gordon), but trading up for him is extrely dangerous. His upside is huge but the risk of him following a pattern in the mold of Gerald Green is certainly there too. And if the FO doesn't make big changes to the roster, Phoenix might not be the best place for him to start his NBA career.
I don't know who would want to trade down with us though.
Chalotte just hit their jackpot and has an extra pick anyway.
Philly also has two picks, and pairing LaVine with MCW could be awesome for them considering that LaVine is little more than a shooter at this point and MCW is the ball dominant guard.
Denver needs a SG too. Orlando also has two picks. And if he is not gone by #13, the Wolves would be crazy if they pass on the opportunity of putting him alongside Rubio.
Sacramento is probably our best option to trade up, but only after the stop the Love insanity, and it would require taking back salary. I'd be ok with taking Thompson, but Landry is a tough pill to swallow.

Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I think with Flip Saunders in charge, he won't be drafting upside/potential players. He'll be looking to get a guy like Doug McDermott (if he's still there), Gary Harris or Nik Stauskas. T.J. Warren and Rodney Hood would figure in as well. Dario Saric may be a possibility for them as well.

Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I think Ryan makes a play to move up to a spot 8-12 to grab Randle, who I think is going to fall a little on draft night. The thing about his foot probably really has Ryan's interest piqued.

Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
I don't think that risk exists. I wouldn't discount the importance of LaVine at least having one year of college.Ring_Wanted wrote:His upside is huge but the risk of him following a pattern in the mold of Gerald Green is certainly there too.

Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
Randle would be a tremendous addition IMO. If we got him, I'd be stoked.

INF hates everyone but Gerald Green and Euros not named Alex Len.
Re: Suns 2014: NBA Draft
Eh. Randle is OK. I don't think he or his agent are being truthful about his foot, which is concerning. I rate guys like Gordon and Vonleh ahead of him. And it depends on how much Ryan gives up to get him.
Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of trading up for him.
