I appreciate the sentiment but I've got news for you, Bronny...

Of course Jones is looking at his phone and not at prospects.

He's probably googling who everyone is.

If he really means that, he should ask his Dad to announce that he will not be signing with Bronny’s team. That’s the only way Bronny will be evaluated on his own merits.

Is that Bronny's real account? I can't tell anymore and I'm not on Twitter.

Anyway, I'm not going to roast a kid for saying the right thing. I do want to roast whoever wrote that tweet for quoting the interviewer and not Bronny himself.

Bronny actually says "I don't think a GM would allow that. I've never really thought about it. I think I've put in the work to get drafted for the person that I am." We could read a lot into that, but I won't because he's a kid.

That's a good point but I think it is his account.

What do you think of Tristan da Silva?
Very solid option at 22. James Jones type of player too.

Can Edey play in our system? We don’t throw the ball to a low post big. Can he screen and roll? Is he a lob threat? Can he catch a bounce pass? Can he dribble or pass out of the short roll? Can he play up at the level on defense?

I don’t question his ability to be at least a decent low post player, are we going to change up how we play when he comes in?

I’d rather just get a known, athletic rim running lob threat that can also protect the rim. Or get me a true stretch 5
I don't think the Suns had a system this season; we'll see what Budenholzer is able to implement.

But I do think a low-post center is a bad fit with three ball dominant scorers. I do think Edey is going to be a good player though.

Then trade 31 and Little for Tari Eason.
Houston isn't moving Eason unless it is for a high level impact player, or in a move for a star.

For those who don’t seem too thrilled, would you not trade the 22nd pick straight up for LeBron?

Ya if no LeBron, then drafting Bronny at 22 seems very dumb…but if it means LeBron comes? It’s a steal. More likely it’s just an agent favor.

Sure, but LeBron has to walk away from 50m to sign for peanuts, he's not gonna do that.

Curious how much mileage FLEX gets out of this all summer long.
