Suns win in OT and the Ducks win the P12 title. Dana Altman is a fucking gypsy.
Kenny Wooten is the next Richaun Holmes.

I think I'm OK with going in to next season with Johnson/Morant/Melton as our PG rotation, provided we can upgrade the 4 in a big way.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 3:33 pmThis Murray St./Marquette game is the most I've watched of Morant in live action. I really like his energy and intensity. He's going to have some growing pains, but I see a lot of upside if everything goes well. I'd be happy if the Suns selected him.
He could probably start. A cheap vet might work in case he's not quite ready to handle the full responsibilities of leading the team at point. I would want to make sure we spend most of our cap space on signing and/or trading for a PF, though, if we draft Morant.
Yeah, same here on the TOs. I expect that even from good young PGs. Here is a list of guards with over 800 TOs by their Year 23 season.

Come on Indy, you know better than that. Obviously players with 800 total TO by age 23 are players who play a lot before age 23, and those are generally impressive players. The list of young players with high turnover rates is considerably less impressive (and does not include Booker!).
I would think about it, but even the Bulls would like Morant.wpmiller42 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:58 amI really love Morant. I was debating with myself earlier, "If the Suns got the #1, and the Bulls got the #2, would I trade the #1 for the #2 and Markkanen?" I don't know, but I would think about it a lot. I love Zion and think he's going to be a good player with a long, great, career, but I think Morant can be a guy who elevates a team to championships.
How do you crush something that’s already flat as a doormat?Marty [Mori Chu] wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 9:26 amThat is a funny idea for a trade. If we started all of:
Morant
Booker
Markannen
Ayton
That would be a horrendous defensive team. But that's a lot of firepower, too. You probably have to keep Zion if you get the #1 pick (a trade like that, if it fails, can crush a franchise). But it's at least a fun idea to think about.
