Who are we going to trade Bledsoe to since Irving was so special in the Cleveland Championship run?

The other likely landing spot was the Knicks, now they have Rose.

What other team would want his bad knees?
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Who do you want?
Dunn, Hield, Murray, or Sabonis.

Chriss I'd grab at 13, but not 4. Way to low of a floor... He's either Tyrus Thomas/Stromile Swift or Amare Stoudmire/Shawn Kemp.

Dunn is Mo Williams to John Wall.
Buddy Heild is somewhere between Tony Delk and Mitch Richmond/Glen Rice.
Bender is Raef Lafrentz/Channing Frye to Dirk.

I'll take Dragan.
Chriss reminds me of Hakim Warrick. That's my most accuarte comparison. I could be selling him short and I hope I am, I just get that feeling.

Dunn's most accurate NBA comparison to me is.....Eric Bledsoe haha. I always thought he was EB with a higher Bball IQ. He has the same question marks as EB does to with decision making and what position he best fits.

I'd be pretty surprised if the traded Bledsoe. Coming off injury so his value isn't where it could be, seems like he's in all their off-season stuff they post on social media, has been throwing tweets at guys about coming to phoenix (harison barnes oddly enough haha). I think all that trade talk about him is overblown. I think there is much much more likely hood of Knight going. I'd be open to anything at this point just my feeling.

My final choices in order for each draft slot are still pretty much the same.

#4: Bender, Hield, Murray
#13: Ellenson, Skal, Valentine
#28: Hernangomez, Ulis, Jones
#34: Ulis/Felder, Petr, Qi

I want to move Knight and 4 for Gay and 8. I'd select Bender if he fell but probably Ellenson.

Bledsoe/Ulis
Booker/ Valentine
Gay/Warren
Ellenson/Hernangomez
Chandler/Len
Go Suns!

I don't know anything for sure, but I will guarantee this: Bender will be a player other NBA players go out of their way to try and dunk on.

warrick doesnt handle the ball much and is more of a finisher.

The NBA TV mock draft had Bender going to the Celtics and then us grabbing Chriss.

Chriss is my least favoured player of the ones we've been strongly linked to at #4 so I fully expect the Suns to draft him

AZ Central preparing us for Chriss to be the pick at 4:

http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /86274176/

Apparently, he's only worked out in Phoenix so it would make sense.
“That would be a blessing,” Chriss said Wednesday at a league press conference. “I’d be very fortunate to go that high. They (the Suns) have a good coaching staff that is willing to develop players.”

Good coaching staff...so he's delusional as well! All this chatter could all be a smokescreen. Not long now til we know for sure

I think Bender will be picked by the Celtics, so my vote goes to Hield. He's the best shooter in the draft.

Buddy and Booker would be very fun to watch. I am also warming to the idea of Murray and Booker. Although you still don't have a true PG in either of those situations.

Chriss fouled out 15 times in 34 games at Washington. 1 time he fouled in 15mins. His team underachieved despite having 2 potential top 20 picks on it, and he averaged 5.4 rebs per game. I hope they know what they're doing, because everything seems to be pointing to him. Oh and his desire has been questioned...

Rumor: Hornets offering #22 pick attached to either Jeremy Lamb or Spencer Hawes.

I mean why not take a flyer on that, I realize it gives us 4 1st rounders, but that could be Denzel Valentine range. I say this without knowing anything about Hawes and Lamb's contract situations...

Another big word. We need to devote ourselves to growing this young core; we shouldn't be making moves to free up space to sign big free agents. We're not getting them, nor should we.

DEAR SARVER, I would much prefer to watch a team full of young players growing and learning to play together every night - and surprising us every once in a while - than watching a team of players that have peaked scratching and clawing their way to the 8th seed. GIVE US HOPE, NOT CERTAIN MEDIOCRITY!

Lamb earns $7M/yr for through '18-'19. So it would be a $7M backup 2 guard when you're talking about drafting Valentine who would be a back up 2 guard.

Another rumor on twitter. Nets offered Thad Young+more to Phx for Bled. Suns declined.

How many starting point guards in the league are considered "true"? I don't think teams from the conference finals have one. Or at least use them as one.

Are you talking about Jamal or Dejounte?
