I don't know if we were agresive enough, but we NEEDED to change the picks with The Hornets. We would have selected Winslow, who has All Star potential. Give some picks, give some players...whatever. ..it's a big difference between Winslow or Booker.
What a shame.
Well, hopefully Booker is better than expected and he surprise us.


I wonder what the Hornets were asking for from us to move up to #9. They probably refused to deal with us outright because i they suspected we where targeting Kaminsky by reports. Whatever the Suns FO thought wasn't worth it for Frank (lol obviously) would have totally been worth it for Winston even if he had to give up Warren, future firsts, etc.

Winston? I think you mean Winslow? I'd take Warren over him every day.

Leuer to Rockets for T Jones?

Rockets can decline Leuer's team option and save cap space for FA's.

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 57s58 seconds ago
The Suns will keep Jon Leuer, who they acquired for their No. 44 pick. Leuer, a 6-10 spread PF, has a $1M salary that turns guaranteed Tues.

Ya we didn't draft the next MJ in the second round. Truly basketball hell...

Oh no, what a waste of roster spot. Tolliver is a HOF compared to Leuer. I was hoping another trade or something.

Knicks are in win-now mode and Phil chose a project player. Did you see Stephen A. Smith on ESPN?

man I wouldn't trade a warm glass of piss for John Leuer... he is now a non starter on a team full of non starters he would be a backup to Tolliver!!! basically we have decided we're going to roll with the Morris twins and Tucker into the season. this is f*****

Shot 78% and 47% respectively in the prior season. He might be a decent addition for a back of the bench guy. Not sure what people were expecting to get in the mid 2nd round.

So happy the Suns didn't move up in the draft. This pick is good. Suns did great tonight. Don't know about trading for Leuer. That might get flipped eventually. So far good.

Their best player is 30 years old.

They are likely to sign David West, Greg Monroe and some other veterans.

They need a legit PG though.... hmm
