The sooner this is over the better.
Glad I'll be asleep and wake up once it's all over.
Not having access to much college ball this year I've no real opinions on players, but want us to make a decision and stick with it. We've started a youth movement to be competitive in 2-3 years, we should continue as such and move Bled. Get a new starting point guard and fill in the gaps we have on the wing. If some of that can get done tonight then great. Just don't throw it away for a short term chance at the 8th seed for the next few years.

Make it easy...take Jackson and don't play around with it. Draft JOSH JACKSON Ryan...

Gambo also saying we're talking to the Pelicans about sending Dudley for 2nd round pick(s).

In a few hours I'll need to sell myself on JJ. I'll be disappointed unlike last year but it's cool.
Go Suns!

Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
I'm fine with Jackson and makes the most sense. I think DeAaron Fox may be the BPA though. I'm worried about his ability to play a certai position in the L, but the kid has the most star potential I think of Him,tatum,Jackson.
I'd go
1.Fox
2.Jackson
3,Tatum
BTW....I hate it that the Lakers are going to get the best player in this draft:( I'll be rooting against him, but I think Lonzo will be a better NBA player then Fultz. I'm confident in saying it too.

Would be an obvious precursor to something else. Something Unfortunate such as Aldridge or Love for #4:(

I think it would be more about freeing up playtime for Jackson/Bender. Or that is what I am hoping. I tend to think the whole "Dudley as a great veteran presence" thing is overrated as well. If he was setting such a good example for the young guns, he wouldn't be 30-pounds overweight all season. Plus, getting out of the remaining money on his contract would great.Sunsfan4life wrote:Cap wrote:So would Jared, I imagine.

Does the fact that over the past 48hours Rumors of the suns trying to "unload" Bled after him being Ryan's boy shock anyone? I mean I think it's definitely the right move, but could De'Aaron Fox be the pick at #4?

I'm open to most trades involving Bledsoe.
If Bledsoe is moved it most likely means we stay with the youth movement.

Re: 2017 Suns NBA Draft (4th, 32nd, 54th)
Feels like Fox is the pick if we're really shopping bled. No interest in Mudiay. Would love Mitchell at 13 or Ntilikina if he falls. Anunoby would be interesting too

I've seen that fox is sarvers guy, so he could absolutely be the guy at 4.Sunsfan4life wrote:Does the fact that over the past 48hours Rumors of the suns trying to "unload" Bled after him being Ryan's boy shock anyone?

Fox has "it". Although if we draft Fox why would we want Mudiay? Got to think Ulis and Fox would occupy the point.Split T wrote:Feels like Fox is the pick if we're really shopping bled. No interest in Mudiay. Would love Mitchell at 13 or Ntilikina if he falls. Anunoby would be interesting too

I think we'd look hard at Adebyo and J Collins. Strong athletic bigs that can get out and run. I also like Ferguson or Mitchell.Split T wrote:Feels like Fox is the pick if we're really shopping bled.
