If that would be true, would make it almost worth watching the draft (starts 3am where I am).

If we trade up to 4: I want Porzingis or Russell (assuming Okafor is gone).
If we trade up to 8-12 range: I want Stanimal or Turner.
If we stay at 13: Turner or WCS or Portis

I'm with you except for the WCS part. And I also wouldn't mind Hezonja at 4.

I like Hezonja. And his cockiness is entertaining to me. Just wouldn't take him over Porzingis or Russell. Definitely would be happy to have him anywhere from 5 on. If we traded to 6, for instance, I'd be all over Hezonja.

They're not credible at all.

Well they called the last two trades since yesterday before anyone. Hours before waj or anyone announced it. So regardless whoever they are havent been wrong so far.

So Boston trades the 16 and Smart to get the 3
Suns trade the 13 and Bledsoe and get the 4?! What am I missing? Bledsoe's salary?

If we trade up to 4 I hope its for Hezonja or Mudiay.....

The difference is Rivers can't shoot and Booker is Klay Thompson 2.0 in regards to shooting.

Well not really. Thompson can keep defenders honest by faking them out and driving to the rim, thus opening space also for his shooting. Booker can't, he won't get that space.

Maybe he will when he is 25 like Klay. Klay was a pure shooter when he came into the league, that's why he went #11 and not sooner. His game developed. Booker is a baby. I hate picking players on hope, but if Frank is gone and we are afraid of Myles and WCS, then Booker is ok by me.

Sunsdeuce · Post #2669 » by **Sunsdeuce** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 7:54 pm

I would like the trade to get number 4 but would love to snag number 9 somehow too. If we got both those. That would kick royal butt.

Actually Klay was more than a shooter. He developed his driving/slashing game, but he wasn't exactly new to it. He dropped in the draft because of some character issues, if I remember correctly he was caught smoking pot or something like that.

Didn't it say there were other peaces involved?
I doubt it will happen though, besides, last I read Lakers are going to go with Okafor.

Can someone fill me in on the rumors? I've been busy lately and haven't had much time to keep up.

Damn, some of you kats argue like the 2015 Phoenix Suns... LOL Excited about tonight, dont know witch direction we will go, there seems to be too many to track. I just hope we dont make a stupid move. There are atleast 5 guys that are going to possibly be there at 13 that I wouldnt complain about. Also wouldnt ming seeing the Suns aquire late firsts or early seconds and go after guys like Rozier and Jaiteh.

I hope Gambo is wrong on the free agent plans. Hate spending on those mid level fas.

It's so annoying you can't see embedded tweets on the app!!

In before realgm crashes :)

Fo-Real · Post #2678 » by **Fo-Real** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:16 pm

8-9 mil...... Dave West???

Sunsdeuce · Post #2679 » by **Sunsdeuce** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:16 pm

Yeah I agree, getting two midlevel guys means we are going to say hello to our #13 friend AGAIN!

letsgosuns · Post #2680 » by **letsgosuns** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 8:18 pm

I get the feeling whatever the Suns do today will not be reported by Gambo in advance.

Which three guys would you most like to draft if they are there at 13?
