2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
I heard that, but I don't think it will transfer next year. You never know, but with Giannis there, you gotta think Milwaukee should be getting better. I feel like we get the most value out of it if it transfers this year.
Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
You may be right, but it doesn't sound like the Suns want to actually bring in either of these mid picks. They only want the Miami pick and want to trade it for a player.Split T wrote:I heard that, but I don't think it will transfer next year.

Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
I wonder if they think the pick would be more easily traded for a vet if it hadn't transferred yet. Once you take a player with the pick, it loses value unless you pick the guy the other team wanted. We'd have to do a draft night trade to get the most value out of it and my guess is more players will be available in the summer after free agency has started than on draft night.

Blake Griffin must be super glad he sank the Pistons last month, or they would be in danger of making the playoffs.

Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
Don't the Bucks have to pass one more team before we lose the pick? I thought we get it if it is #17, and right now Bucks / Heat / Wizards are pretty solidly in the bottom.In2ition wrote:I guess McD said he would rather have the pick next year instead of this year.

Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
I'm pretty sure it's 10-16. The Heat are keeping them at 16 right now, I believe. I'm not sure how I feel about McD's hopes.O_Gardino wrote:Don't the Bucks have to pass one more team before we lose the pick?

Washington should be able to win out. The Boston game will be tough, but they are pretty banged up. If Miami and Milwaukee both go 2-1, we'd be set.The Bobster wrote:The Bucks have to pass both the Wizards and Heat.

Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
I really hope the pick comes to us this year. How to use it is another story, but I want it asap because as long as Giannis is there they won't be in real danger of missing the playoffs in the East.
Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
We should lose the next two and that just leaves Dallas who I can't see us losing to. They are starting a g league team, although we are too. Hopefully Memphis sneaks out a win and we won't have to worry. Even still, a tie with Memphis isn't terrible, we'd split the odds.The Bobster wrote:Also -

Totally can see us beating Dallas. Believe or not, but I'd be way less scared if Len doesn't play.Split T wrote:We should lose the next two and that just leaves Dallas who I can't see us losing to.

In Dallas game against Orlando on Wednesday, here is the guys who had the most minutes for Dallas:
Aaron Harrison
Jonathon Motley
Kyle Collinsworth
Dorian Finley-Smith
Jalen Jones
No dirk, no Matthews, no Barnes, no smith, no Powell. Barea played 10 minutes, Ferrell played 17. Are those guys all hurt?

Finishing alone in last place gets us 250 ping pong balls. Finishing in a two-way tie for second gets us 224 or 225.Split T wrote:Even still, a tie with Memphis isn't terrible, we'd split the odds.
224 isn’t terrible, but I’d rather have 250.

Re: 2018 Phoenix Suns Pick Watch
I just did tankathon sim 20 times. Is it bad that it makes my stomach turn when I see the Suns get the #1 pick only once in that time and 2nd only 2 times? Or that picking JJJ makes me sick? Hell, I've seen the Cavs, Celtics, and even Nuggets rise to 1 or 2 more often.

Anyway, I’d prefer not to cough up a tenth of our ping pong balls for a meaningless win against Dallas or whoever. 250 or bust!
