Here's a list of high potential G league players that are producing very well. Maybe we can look at acquiring one or more of them perhaps. I really like Wooten personally. and perhaps Mariok?

If you want to take that and run with "I'll take Wood over Ayton in general", why did you join the board in the first place? Certainly not for constructive conversation, apparently.
As you mentioned before, 538's RAPTOR rating really likes him.

Players from multiple teams now starting to test positive for COVID-19.
Hopefully none of the Suns players/staff test positive but I think if they did, Cam Johnson likely gets it first imo.

Players getting it is the least of my concern. Quite frankly, these are some of the fittest, healthiest and top 1% of 1% of athletes in the world. They will be fine, especially with the resources they have around them, it's really not going to be much more than a minor flu for them.

Cam Johnson has SoftPlayerVirus
I am sure a lot of players will get it, but what you need to realize is they will have mild symptons, and not fatal.
We are seeing the case number grow, and the mortality rate drop ! This is because we finally have tests available.

Mortality rate is fluid and will likely stay low until America reaches medical care capacity and that's when that mortality rate will start to rise.

Not worried about the mortality rates among professional athletes who are all in the best shape. Issue is spreading it to others who are older and those that have significant underlying health issues.

I think Suns need to run this team again, and add a some depth. This would be ideal
Draft Halliburton or Anthony
Trade for Kennard
Rubio , Halliburton or Anthony
Booker, Kennard
Oubre , Bridges
Saric, Kaminsky (Get Healthy)
Ayton, Baynes
That would be a 10 deep team. If everyone can stay healthy

If the bulls aren't willing to move Markannen, Any thoughts about Wendell Carter Jr.? He's got solid size and mobility at 6'9 260. But has a ridiculous 7'5 wingspan, and decent mechanics to further develop his shot out to the three. Right now, The bulls are making him play the 5 spot. However, He insists that his natural/ best position is at the 4. He's averaging 11/9/ 2 assists. But I think he could have solid defensive potential in the post. Now he wouldn't be above Markannen and/or Gordon on my list, But if the Bulls are looking to move him, maybe we could snag him on the cheap??

I still think that a Markannen-Oubre trade can be worked out. It fills the needs of both teams. They need SF like Oubre. Especially if we take Felicio off their hands. Maybe there's a pick swap that can happen depending on who gets the higher pick but that still can work imo. I get the injury is an issue but he should fully recover. Kinda might depend on if their FO gets replaced or not this summer.

ESPN is probably pretty desperate for anything at this point

Yeah, I haven't even checked it. Haven't really checked much of anything on tv. I did notice on the schedule a lot of the channels are airing old basketball games.
