He wanted us to take Jared Jeffries when we took Amare. He's a tool.

The Cards aren’t trading up for Rosen either.

Shout out to everyone who's posted on these boards for the last several years. It's been tough, and we've endured a lot. Hopefully with this pick, it really changes our franchise around.

Anyway...

FIRST: Don't forget that Gambo pushed for Kidd. Time to fire that clown.
NEXT: Sarver sells the team. Please screenshot this post :D

Doncic at times wears his heart on his sleeve, but dude's 19 years old and passionate. Would rather have that than someone who doesn't care. Gambo is a total clown.

Well most of us have....but from Gambo and when first heard it, also said it's the first we've heard that.

Ayton is the clear pick in my opinion bigs like him dont come around often, Doncic is a good player and should be the #2 pick but his lack of athleticism is going to be a much bigger adjustment for him in the NBA than most of us on here think.

Will throw my And 1's around later when I go to work. Told the guys there is a 46.5% chance I will be at work. 53.5% chance I won't be. I wanted to make sure I avoided any conflict today in the event the Suns dropped to 3 or 4. I can't have the Suns dropping like that and getting fired all in the same day ya know.

Ayton needs to be the pick. He is the literal definition of the Center position in this age of the NBA. There will be more Doncic's in the future.

Hope you get the next Ewing in Ayton but I think you'll draft Doncic, who will be a stud as well.


Several of us here noticed that similarity during the games


H2O and Spree were dubbed the two terrors at one point.

You can have the three terrors with Doncic there but I hope you guys draft Ayton.

A lineup of Ayton/Warren/JJ/Book and some PG will eventually take down the Warriors.

You cannot run Ayton off the floor. He is either too strong for his defender or too quick.

I agree. I think he will be our guy when all the dust settles. Question is, do we start hearing trades with the Spurs for Leonard?
