In fairness Bogdan has played enough to be worth Chriss and then some IMO. Dude can play.

13, 28 Bogdan

for Chriss

Since they dropped PapaG, who was the 13th pick, then they essentially traded 28 and Bogdan for Chriss.

Yeah, and I think this is gonna make his adaptation to the team much better and faster.

I could actually see the Spurs getting Papa G and him learning behind Pau. If I remember correctly, he had pretty good footwork in the paint and had a feathery soft touch.

I've seen this logic thrown out a lot lately. Let's not forget people also trade for that players potential. Hell, we have a ton of players that we drafted on just for that. So don't act like they didn't trade for him. They did, he didn't pan out, but the potential was part of it and was part of the price. Just my 2 cents.

He has been trash, just a big body.

Have to think a team will claim him.
Hell, why not us? At the very least, send him to the D-League. Unless he's just that bad that there's no hope for him.

I could see Brooklyn taking a stab at him.

Please no. No. The guy is just big.

They should’ve waived Ulis instead...could’ve put an end to the buddy ball between him and Booker too.

The Kings ***** the Suns in that deal. It’s one of many, many trades that McDonough has lost.

Dann that's cold on Canaan...

Absolutely cold.


Dude probably ended his career or at least will be out a long time... Playing for your team...

Then you waive him as he sits down recovering.


Should have waived Ulis the useless.

I hope... Canaan comes back and plays again. Dude played hard and well enough to be in the NBA.

He just really has trouble navigating certain screens. Otherwise, he can stick in front of his man and can be good on switches with his size.

He used to be really handsy with guards (like Beverley) but his rookie/2nd year he would constantly be called for fouls and have to sit early, so maybe that's why he stopped doing it as much.

Acknowledge your points about defense but also, Tyler Ulis was our starting PG.


Wasn't he pesky last year for being so small? I remember him having some weird defensive style that was oddly effective. Maybe I'm misremembering. :lol:
That was the extent of his defense. Pesky. Which is fine when you're playing spurts of 10-15mpg but when you're playing almost 24mpg AND you're starting and playing against NBA starting guards, it's just not good enough.

Not gonna act like Payton is gonna solve all our problems but as crazy as it seems, he's probably a notable upgrade on our current situation (Starter: Ulis, Backup:G-Leaguer)

Disagree. Bogdanovic flat out refused to come over and play for us so we would've lost him for nothing.
