PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE--if we pass on Bender for Chriss, I think we'll look back in 3-4 years and go 'welp, that sucks; we blew that one!'

who the hell is this guy

Looks like he does a sports radio show in Minnesota. Still won't believe it until I see it. Also, wouldn't we have to give up #4 too? If not then sign me up.

I wonder if he was just warming up Chriss telling him to be ready to be picked by us because McD was preparing him to be the fallback option if Bender was taken at 3.

From that article

The Suns are spending part of their draft day exploring what teams might be interested in securing Providence point guard Kris Dunn by making a trade for the Suns' No. 4 pick, azcentral sports has learned.

If Boston passes on Dunn to select one of the draft's other top guards, Kentucky's Jamal Murray or Oklahoma's Buddy Hield, or Croatia's Dragan Bender, there could be a growing trade market Thursday evening for the Suns at No. 4 if a team desires Dunn.

League sources also said that the Suns have been open to trading guard Brandon Knight.

Since when has Coro broke a story?

he's usually not first but he's the most accurate IMO

if Coro says it I believe it...if Gambo says it, I'm like "ehhh"

ridiculous. as a shot blocker alone, never mind his ability to stretch the floor and ability as a roll man, he's one of the best role players in the league. he could be more than that if we asked him to be.

Look at his per game blocks the last 5 years...if you don't want to look at the link...3.7 to 3 to 2.7 to 2.4 to 1.9. His 3 pt% from 38.3%, 37.6% to 32.6%. His overall fg% from 57% to 53% to 47%. Something's not right with him. Still rather have him than most PFs we could get, and more than Barnes, but he's probably going to keep declining...

And not worth a lotto pick trade. Maybe 28, the right to swap picks with us next year, Knight (not all, just one)...IDK what they'd want, but 13 is too rich for my blood.

I like the other one with the not yet credible Minny radio host, unless he missed the part where were are giving up #4 too.

I don't understand why they haven't already decided who they're going to pick instead of flipping back and forth at the last minute.

My guess is they know who they want and the other is a fail safe...hopefully they told Chriss they really like him and to be ready because they will take him if Bender is gone, but in fact it was Bender all along. You don't need to tell Bender anything in that situation....and if Chriss leaks it, then everyone thinks you are after Chriss and thinks Bender will drop and don't try to trade up to 3 to get him.

Gambo saying that Bledsoe is not on the block. He talked with the Suns...no way we move him.

But he said that Knight is on the trade block already, he does not want to come of the bench.

I doubt this guy is legit, but I have done similar trades in the trade machine a bunch of times.

I like the idea of Rubio + shooters while we rebuild.

Is their a pick swap involved?

Who do you most want at 4?
