Which was worse, passing up on Tyrese Haliburton or Luka Doncic?

I do think it’s interesting to think about…and even beyond the obvious question of would we have won the 21 or 22 finals with him. What would the team look like now? Would we have traded for KD? Beal would almost certainly not be here.

What do you prefer?

Haliburton/Booker/Bridges/CamJ/Ayton or
Haliburton/Booker/Allen/KD/Nurkic

CP3 could still be around too

No fucking shit, but can’t do anything about it now.

You must not have seen the Smith highlights tonight.

Tough choice but prefer the KD/allen option if it’s a win now situation but Ayton team at least keeps all of our picks. Both teams would be a lot of fun to watch but don’t think the young guns win a ring before the KD/allen team does.

True but sometimes it’s just fun to imagine.

It’s worst than drafting Ayton over Luka.

I screamed at my TV when they announced Jalen Smith's name on that draft night. I knew. A lot of us knew. But we didn't know Hali would be THIS good. Devastating. Maybe the worst single Suns personnel decision in a decade.

Has there ever been a time when this community had a solid consensus about whom we should pick, and turned out to be wrong?

Maybe Ishbia should tell Jones to keep an eye on us, and if a consensus emerges here, that’s our guy.

FINALLY! About time someone says it... :P

No but it would make a great Disney movie if we won a ring based off that. :lol:

Who did we want the Bender year? I feel like there was a decent amount of Bender fans on here

Bender was admittedly my pick ( :oops: ), but it was far from a consensus. The only consensus here was that it was a crappy draft.

Ya we were probably all over the place. Can’t say I was much better. Hield was my favorite player outside the top 2 but I knew we weren’t picking him. Of the guys we were looking at I wanted Chriss

Yes. Jared Jeffries

It’s a tough call. I mean Smith is clearly taller but Halliburton doesn’t need goggles to be able to see the ball, so toss of the coin?

Was there a consensus on Jeffries? I can’t remember if I was on this board yet but I was all in on Amare
