Lol I am not super stoked on Mark Williams OR Maluach, let alone both. I guess we’ll see if both end up here or if Maluach is on the move…

Just traded for a center and drafted a center. This is insanity and stupid!

Maluach is not a win now move. He's absolutely a project to be ready 2 years time minimum.

Ask me the worst situation the suns can make. I present the last 10 minutes to you.

Wait so the Suns drafted the Duke C AND traded for Williams?

Whoa Mark Williams. I’ve wanted him on the Suns for a while now. Was the injury stuff real or just the Lakers using it as an excuse to back out of the deal? Why is Charlotte getting rid of him? Maybe he’s not as good as I was thinking he was

I'm hoping they have good intel that KJ will be there at #12.

Then you have Beal/Maluach for Vuc/KJ/filler ?

Are we trading back with the Thunder?
SHAZAM!

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