Sorry, it ain’t better than 5-9 Nate Robinson spiking the ball off 7-6 Yao Ming’s head.

I knew the title would get pushback. It's like, his opinion, man. It is pretty funny that he blocked it inbounds and then threw it out of bounds off the blocked player. At first blush, I thought the blocked player was Ja Morant. But Morant would have pulled a gun on him.

Funny, but dumb. Could have had a five-on-four going the other way.

Same... I thought it was Ja also but know he's still out few more days. Still hilarious that he just chucked it at him . It's bad enough get blocked.. but by a guy who can't even leave the ground is just insulting.

Can't argue with that. Although, the big guy probably is lumbering and the guy on the ground might have caught up to him.

[Superbone]

Not around the league but pretty crazy.



I remember the Suns losing on a 4 point play to the Jazz back in the day.

[Split T]

Ringer put out a new top 100 players…top 15:

1. Jokic
2. Curry
3. Embiid
4. Giannis
5. Luka
6. Tatum
7. Booker
8. SGA
9. KD
10. LeBron
11. Butler
12. Haliburton
13. AD
14. Ant
15. Fox

Current and former suns:

37. Mikal
57. Beal
79. CP3
83. CamJ
90. [Redacted]

Beal at 57 seems very low, but hard to argue since he hasn’t played. Klay Thompson was 78 and it made me laugh. He’s not a top 100 player anymore. He’s done but no one(including him) is willing to accept it.

[wpmiller42]

I'm probably blinded by my Suns colored glasses, but I think Booker is better than Tatum and Luka. And I think if you offered a straight up swap of Booker for Tatum or Luka, Dallas makes that trade in an instant. Boston at least thinks about it.

[Split T]

I’d have Luka at 9, Tatum at 6, Booker at 5…so I agree Booker is better, but I think it’s more likely Boston says yes than Dallas to Booker trades. For better or worse, Dallas is all in on the Luka does everything strategy…I think Booker is more conducive to winning in general, but not if you’re trying to play that style. Luka can handle that better.

[Wally_West]

Been saying Book better than Tatum.

[TOO]

I'd have Booker 5 and I don't really care about the rest.

There is no way Dallas says yes to that trade. Need to get your prescription checked.

Wait, wouldn't that mean his Suns-colored glasses are working perfectly fine?

[Flagrant Fowl]

This is goofy.

[Superbone]

This is goofy.

Round two night would be riveting! Who’s going to be the 31st pick?!

[Flagrant Fowl]

Stupid takes are Nick Friedell's catnip.

[Split T]

I don’t mind moving the 2nd round to another night…not sure it’s gonna matter for viewers…probably helpful for teams and prospects. Let’s teams trade and target the guys they want more and gives players opportunities to target certain locations.

[ShadowHawke]

I remember the draft having a lot more rounds.
