SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Why must the NBA convey picks in the way! It's excruciating!

Silly as it sounds, that felt like an out of body experience watching it. I couldn't process it. Like, there wasn't enough time to take in what had just happened. The next thing I knew, Magic was pumping his fist and I was furious.

I remember watching it at a bar and there were people yelling their disappointment about Magic not having died from HIV when they showed him dancing and pumping his fist. Some people take it way too far.

Yeah, me too. I am comfortable with any spot.


While I do think this is accurate, it's still hard not to prefer we can choose who we want.

I shall not jinx it. Here are my standards:

I’m happy at 2.
I’m disappointed, but alive at 3.
At 4 I start wrecking the house. That’s not a metaphor

I hope one of us has set up a non-profit lottery machine company that gives the NBA free rigged machines that activate in 50 minutes once per year.

I don't think it's intentional. It's basically 50/50 that we land a top 2 pick or a 3/4 pick.
Given how last year went, and the fact there are 2 supposed big names who separated themselves (so far) in this draft, and the teams history, it's hard to get excited.

I'm good with top 3. #4 and I'll riot so I'm probably rioting

Yeah, I kinda forgot about Magic's dance lol
Rewatching this made me furious again.

Everytime Devin Booker makes a 3 pointer we pick 4th.

Both 36%.
