Who is Gambo? Any link?

He has said that on his radio show.

So Gambo is saying if Ball is on the board the Suns are still taking Isaac?

IDK exactly. He said the other day that we like a lot Tatum, Ball and Isaac.
Fox and Monk not real options for us.

I actually kinda like the idea of ball and booker backcourt.

Ah, irony.


First if they want Jackson - you call their bluff and say - "you take Jackson and we will let the Sixers decide if they want Ball or not"

Second, you do not help the Lakers by both taking a bad contract and giving them a player like Jackson

If the Lakers want to do this deal - you make them take Brandon Knights contract. And by the way, I looked at Dengs contract, its a joke. Deng has like 54m left - Knight has much less left. Do not make trades with the Lakers that somehow benefit them like taking on a Deng contract. I would rather say give them TJ Warren and the 4 for the 2 than this deal

This has to be total BS - the Suns are not doing this

Before I got on the Isaac train, I was calling for Ball. Hmm, interesting. I'd rather just take Isaac but we'll see I guess?

Then you bring Aaron Gordon back to Arizona so you can start building a team of light skinned brothas. :lol:

Can you imagine the Ball's reaction if he gets drafted by the Lakers and ten minutes later traded away :lol:

They were talking about it on Burns and Gambo a little bit. Burns was calling BS on it as well.

I like Isaac as much as anybody, but you absolutely do NOT make a promise to him at 4. There are too many question marks right now among the 2nd and 3rd picks to do that. I personally, as much as I like Isaac, have no idea how you would pass on Ball for this team at 4. I also can see the argument for Jackson over Isaac. Either could be available at our pick, and we shouldn't lock ourselves out of having that option this early. On top of that you have the Kings who are rumored to be desperately trying to come up to take Fox, which would ensure one of those 2 fall to us at 4.

This was just a dumb theory from a week ago on the ringers podcast that they happened to mention that scenario from the week old podcast. It wouldn't totally surprise me but this isn't anything new and isn't news.

Melo + what asset or Durant/Giannis hybrid (upsides mentioned in articles used)

Which players do you prefer?

Gambo is a loudmouth radio host in Phx who likes to talk a lot but doesn't know too much. If none of you fans have heard anything about a private workout taking place then it didn't happen. On twitter he said

I would be happy with Ball at 4. Trade Bled for another 1st and pick up Collins.

PG - Ball
SG - Booker
SF - Bender
PF - Chriss
C - Collins
Bench - TJ , Ulis

young core that can grow together and compete after Golden State is done.

Considering Durant/Giannis hybrid would be the greatest player in history...

Btw good job locking cesspool threads on the GB. One of my pet peeves is ppl starting ridiculous comparison threads to get everyone to bash a certain player.

Dream scenario. I think Sac really wants him and frankly they need him. I'd even consider taking him and instantly getting on the phone with Sac to work that out. If we could snag the #5 which would either be Tatum or Issac (good with either) and take the bpa at 10 collins, Smith, Lauri, etc would be incredible. Mcdonough would have pulled highway robbery on kings back to back drafts.
I like Draft Picks/Cap Space, long walks on the beach, and short youtube clips.

Right now, my board is:
1) Ball
2) Isaac
3) Tatum

If it gets to the point that Ball is taken by the Lakers and the 76ers take Tatum, for example, then we should absolutely trade with Sacramento for the #5 and #10, still get Isaac and then get Collins or Markannen with the #10.

If we end up just going to with Ball or Isaac at the #4, I think it would be a good idea for us to get a pick in the late 1st and get Jordan Bell. If that happens, just sell one or both the 2nd's and use whatever remains as a draft-and-stash. Done.


You should post more. What's so great about ASFN?

Yeah, no good was going to come out of that and it was a stupid thread.
