This is exactly what I've thought since March. Outside of Ingram and Simmons, Hield is the BPA and a Bledsoe-Hield-Booker lineup would be better than anything we've had in recent memory.
If we can't trade #4 plus anyone besides Booker for a true #1 guy then just take Hield and find a place to deal Knight.
Send me a PM if you're interested in joining the phx-suns.net fantasy basketball league.
There is 3 players I'm OK with us drafting, assuming Simmons and Ingram go in the top 3. Those 3 are Buddy Hield, Marqueese Chriss, and Dragan Bender. I'd absolutely love to package knight with 13 to move up and snag 2 of the 3.
the NBA has the WORST officials in any sport, Durant was getting held, hit, and pushed the entire game, Draymond Green is the new Vlade Divac, starting to really hate him.
The officials and Westbrook won that game for the Warriors. Klay and Curry are amazing shooters, but OKC should have won that game.
Thunder couldn't close it out. One of your set plays is a 3 for Ibaka? Really? And then with 40 seconds left and down by 7, OKC had a chance to foul and extend the game but half the team just stopped playing. Looked like there was confusion as to whether or not they wanted to foul and that led to the Curry dagger.
On a different note, I loved Draymond coming out of college and thought he was a hell of a player - still do. But I don't like when guys make it and start to lose their minds and act out and he's been doing just that. He wasn't playing this way at MSU, don't recall these incidents his first year or so in the league. Kinda similar to the M****s Bros. They make it to the league, prove themselves, get their money, and then start acting out. I've lost some respect for Green in that sense.
Now we'll see if the Ws have anything left for the Cavs. My biggest fear was the Ws and Thunder killing each other while the Cavs sit back and wait and that's what's happened. Too bad the East sucks.
Too much shooting in the second half for OKC to handle. I think that when Curry and Thompson got it going in the third it put too much pressure on OKC offense to try and keep up with their threes. Which lead to more hero ball from Westbrook and Durant. Not that I blame them, Ibaka was the only one who made some shots from the rest of the roster. Roberson who was fine offensively for most of the series was cold.
