about 3 hours prior to the draft I offered up my (stretching it) two cents worthy hopes..

I'm hoping McD can come out of this draft with Bender & Brown...*somehow not trading Knight in acquiring Brown.

*Knight asset used later this summer/fall


Thanking McD bigtime. He pulled off almost exactly what I wanted to happen. Will it pay off? F@#k if I know...and no one does.

Kudos Ryan McD! Sound tactic. Odds should be in the Suns favor that at least one of these risk/reward prospects pan out. And Knight still available for trading down the road.

WTF happens next...the next FA or trade move?...I've no clue.

Like today's moves

Luwawu
D. Murray
D. Jackson
Davis
Labissiere
Korkmaz
Ulis
Johnson
STone
Jones
Diallo
Qi
Whitehead
Onuaku
Brogdon
Payton

we'll get somebody good

If we could get Onuaku at 34 that would be crazy. I'm guessing we go guard or wing though.

We traded you, fair and square.
We asked your brother to be professional.
You told him to wreak havoc on our chemistry.
You got him traded.
You made this mess.
You're adults.
Grow the heck up already.

Could Luwawu/Korkmaz fall?

I think the only other team who's done really well and probably slightly better than the Suns is Nuggets..

Murray and Mudiay, Hernandez, Jokic, Nurkic

They have BIG men who are "skilled" rather than "athletic"... with team oriented mentality. Then they have a nice fitting back court.
Not to mention they have a high motor player in Faried still... they have a DEEP team.

The Boston fans in the crowd are not happy and I don't blame them haha. Are they really going to only have 1 keeper and 7 stashers? No trades?

Word is that they are falling for a reason, and thats because teams are looking for Draft&Stash guys and many of the 1st round Euros want to come over now instead of waiting years to.

There's so many interesting players still available, I'd consider trading down with the Bucks for #36 and #38.

Hope we draft and stash a C... Eventual Chandler replacement at backup C.

Bledsoe, Knight, Price
Booker, Goodwin
Tucker, Warren
Bender, Chriss (maybe Teletovic?)
Len, Chandler

Could probably bring back Jenkins and Budinger as 3Rd string wings if need be.
