Really? You should've noticed why he would post a photo rather than the actual tweet considering it's way easier to the tweet than screenshot something and upload that image.

Im on safari on my iPhone.
Resorting to safari on the phone because the RealGM Mobile app doesnt show tweets, which is worse than useless at this time of the year

McDonough's Skype handle should be NotGettingBooker.

Would give him an extra few hours to talk to people about Rondo.

At first glance you don't really notice if it's a screenshot or not. He got me aswell.

Is anyone going to the traction shop by tonight?

I honestly haven't been this amped up since 2007, when we were trying to go after Garnett.

Are we really gonna get screwed twice in one go
1. Losing out on Porgz
2. Celts pick Jackson and trade him

Life of a sun's fan :violin:

So are we getting the unicorn or not? Unfortunately I cant see the draft tomorrow so trading our 4th for porzg would be the dream scenario for me :lol:

And then for the kick in the nuts we draft that kid Tatum who is one dimensional scorer and can't play a lick of defense basically a worse version of TJ Warren

3. Sarver gets antsy, wants some kind of deal done. Suns trade #4 + whatever necessary for a two year Jimmy Butler rental.

Pretty cool to see us being singled out in every KP trade scenario. Who else is freaking out? Lets get it, McD!

No. The kick in the nuts would be trading #4 and Bender to the Spurs for Aldridge.

Depends on if you consider winning being the #6-8 seed in perpetuity. I am fine with the Suns taking their time and building a roster properly ala Golden State, developing their young guys rather than settling for average veterans.

If they are going to pursue someone in FA I want it to be a legit star, not an aging veteran who will eat minutes that could go to a younger player.

This will be McDs sixth lottery selection. His fourth top 10 selection and his third top 5 selection. How many more top 10 picks do we need?

Steph and the Warriors had 47 wins in his third season in the NBA.

Alex Len and his Suns had 48 wins in his first season in the NBA.

You missed the point. Steph and the Warriors built on what they had. Added vets like Iggy and Bogut that helped them win. Using GSW as the example for "the process" is misguided.

That would be getting the nuts cut off.

Pick Jackson, Fox, or Tatum and call it a draft. Trade Bled if it's Fox. The circus has died down and probably gone away.

I'm just probably draft day high but I feel like Jackson had pushed this KP thing pretty far. Maybe to far to pull back.

Say we get the #8 pick from the Knicks... If Bledsoe is shipped out, do you think Suns make a run a Dennis Smith Jr? (The reason I ask is because he was projected to be picked around 8-10 in most mock drafts from what I've read)

From everything I hear NY initiated the talks and who are we bidding against and what are they offering? I dont think many teams if any can offer a better package then bledsoe #4, and two more 1sts. not even sure it needs to be two. I would want to get a better idea of who else is in play and what they are offering before I go putting Chriss Bender and Warren in the pot.

28 teams called about him. 28. Apparently they aren't worried about the long history of 7'3" superstars falling apart.

Obviously you don't include more than is required to get him and what we are proposing in all likelihood is more than ends up being traded, but at the end of the day we should be willing to do anything short of including Booker to make Phil pull the trigger.

He's already missed 26 games in two seasons so I think there's cause for concern. And the history of really tall men having early health problems is pretty solid, star basketball player or not. I'd still go after him but obviously full buy in from our medical and training staff would be a necessity. I'd also insist on ending or at least restricting his international play and I don't know if he'd agree to that.
