Honestly don't know who I want. I've changed my mind a million times. Right now I got Doncic at the top but I feel good that we control the draft. If Ayton blows us away, we can take him. Same with Bagley or JJJ or Bamba or Porter. Or we can just take Doncic. Or maybe a trade presents itself and we do what Boston did last year, trade down, add an asset and still get our guy.

Maybe Atlanta wants to move up for Ayton. Would SAC take Doncic 2nd?

Let’s go all in, take Doncic with the 1st, get that 4th from Memphis and take Best Big Available. They could use a reload with #15 #31 # 59, Warren, Chriss and Dudley for #4 & :shock: Parsons. A man can hope. Can we?
Just no.

I said it months ago, I had irrational confidence that the Suns were going to win the lottery this year and I couldn't explain why, no matter their odds.
Hugs all around! So happy to be able to celebrate this historic day in Phoenix Suns history with you all.

This is freaking fantastic. It feels a little weird as a Suns fan to have something fall our way

I'd look to trade the pick to Sacramento for #2 and assets.

Good for the Kings, by the way. They lose their pick next year to the freaking Celtics so they need to make a leap this year.

That is the question, isn't it? And we will be discussing just that up until June 21, 4:00 PM .

Lets just do the draft tomorrow and give the boys the summer to work out.

What a great opportunity!

I have a feeling the Kings #2 pick might be traded...

You don't hire a coach to make your picks for the organization. You don't pass on generational talent for a dice roll on a Euro.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Take Ayton and go get Doncic too. Figure out how to do it. Trade Sac boy and Warren along with picks and make it happen. Build your team around Booker, Jackson, Doncic and Ayton. Fill out the FAs around those guys.

I'd like to see the Kings figure it out. Doncic might be a decent fit there at the 3. Fox can defend, hield can spot up and Doncic and fox can both run the offense. Just need some big men. They've been drafting bigs for years but none of them have really panned out. Cauley-Stein has flashes I guess.

There is no way we get Ayton and Doncic without giving up Booker.

Quit thinking so small, Indy. It can be done.
