0/10. Would not recommend.

Fan rosterbators proposing a 4-team trade with 13 players and picks changing hands does not constitute a "bombshell."

I'm a clear homer, but I don't think I would trade Booker for #1, #3 and Ben Simmons right now.

Did you see his picture? Dude is a bombshell.

The more I'm thinking about this trade proposal and rosterbation, even if you took out Booker from the Suns side, I don't know if I'd pull the trigger on this.

So. Um. No!

That fake trade idea is horrendous.

It's ridiculous. An exercise in labeling, I guess.

When something that's seemingly very unlikely actually happens, that's a bombshell. When the author here calls his idea a bombshell, that's just another way of saying that, given the available information, nothing remotely like this is at all likely to happen. If he just plainly said that — "I just came up with a trade idea, the like of which is extremely unlikely to happen" — nobody would waste their time reading it. But he calls it a "bombshell proposal" and it sounds like something worth reading, and here we are talking about it.

It's sports talk radio put into writing.

"Hey ya Dog, Jim from South Philly. First time, long time. I want to get your thoughts on a 3-team trade. LeBron, Durant, and Curry to the Sixers for Simmons, Embiid, our top 3 protected 2024 first round pick, and 5 second round picks from 2019-2024. Who says no? Thanks Dog, I'll hang up and listen."

Anyone want to diagnose Fox's shooting stroke?

I'm no shot doctor, but it looks fine to me. Just needs repetition.

The video only shows makes, and his shot mechanics are consistent for the most part on makes. Like Split said, just needs reps. He has a better shot than Wall coming out of college.

My only negative would be that he isn't always consistent with his follow through. Sometimes he follows all the way through and holds it, and others he stops short and pulls the string. Of course, it only showed the makes so it's hard to tell if that's a problem consistently when he's on vs. off.

His left foot is ahead of his right foot when he shoots, but I'm not sure that's even a problem.

Not an issue in the least, as he's left handed. In fact, it's prefered to help line up the elbow to the basket.

What do you guys think we'd have to give up to swap 4 for 3 with philly? What would you be willing to give up?

Why would you want to give up assets to move up one pick? Both Fox and Jackson are deeply flawed prospects, and neither one makes us relevant. Plus, Philly has about an 84% chance to do something stupid with their pick, so we can probably get who we want at #4.

Deeply flawed? I don't think either are very flawed at all. They have shaky jump shots, that's about it. I think Jackson is the 2nd best prospect in the draft and he'd be worth moving an asset to insure we acquire him. He's not a great fit in Philly, but my guess is he'll go third. Either Philly will try and make it work or they'll trade down.

Back in the 90's, golden state paid a few hundred thousand dollars to move from 5th to 4th, I'm sure we'll have to give up more than that, but I'd happily move #32 if it guaranteed we got Jackson.

I have no interest in moving up, unless it's to get Fultz.

so who are you guys liking at 32??

If we don't get someone like Allen earlier in the draft then i would like to see us have Anzejs Pasecniks

He seems to have some decent pop for a euro big and can be a lob target. Is not super scrawny but could fill out a bit more. I just like his floor. Len seems to do some great things at times but then does some fundamental things very very poorly - especially finishing around the hoop. Anzejs seems like he has decent finishing skills and unlike Len looks decent with both hands. Also fills a position of need.
Would really like to have him or Allen on our roster next year, think either would add something straight away

sorry haven't been around much lately
