You could have filled out the starting lineup for a title team with just the picks we should have had in that draft. But hey, why do that if you can give away control of your draft picks for a decade?

True. We wouldn't have our merry band of mercenaries plus Book otherwise. Lucky us!

Would a team of Luka, Mikal, SGA, Brunson and Robinson been good enough to make the playoffs? Silly me for looking back on that draft.

20/20 hindsight drafts and trades always build championship contenders it seems.

I still can't believe the Suns didn't trade up to draft Michael Jordan.

The Suns did pass on John Stockton to take Jay Humphries in that draft.

Must be rough carrying Giannis luggage around.

Probably stepped on a rock while getting Giannis his continental breakfast.

Say it ain't so, Big Baby!

Lock him up! He made way more than any of us and he tries to pull this crap?

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. He's got a pattern of going out of the NBA season suspended.

I hope his career is over, nobody should pay that man anything to play in the NBA.

The kind of guy Isiah would sign for his toughness and edge. Zeke gets off on stuff like that.

Bigs anybody? Nurk and Val would be huge. Literally.

Wonder what his market is. I'd doubt we'd have the money.

Is he better than Nurk?

Shoots 3s better than him.

Seems unlikely he come here at all, I’m sure somebody will pay him decent money somewhere. maybe if we unload Nurk for a wing, he be willing to sign for the minimum knowing he’d be our starting C because he’s probably a back up for most teams right now. Unlikely still tho.

Yeah, especially if you wanna spread the floor with your 5.

I have them in the same tier of Center. It's splitting hairs to pick who's better.

I don't really consider his 30% on 1.5 attempts per game as shooting 3-pointers better than Nurk. Technically it's better, but that doesn't mean he should be doing it often, so it's basically irrelevant.
