Silver needs to come up to the podium with a hairless cat and just go full Dr Evil.

Why did they draft Muluach then :lol: they are so soo dumb.

Could do worse than having 2 massive centers. Phoenix looks better.

So they got a 5 SG line up that feels too small, let's put two centers in to go bigger???

They can’t play together though. Suns gm is something.

True and Williams will probably be injured over half the time in Phoenix.


And Williams is in the final year of his contract. And they got him cheap.

I don’t think 2 firsts is cheap. Likely late firsts so not terrinble. So 2 centers and 6 SG for Phoenix so far.

A 2029 1st round picks is not cheap (especially if it's their own).

One of the two picks is the 29th this year. The other one is likely to be in the low 20s as well - from either Cleveland or us.

Queen, Jackucionas, Essengue, Bryant, Sorber go right before us, then we trade out.

Why? What happened?

Just a vibe I'm getting that the players we are most interested in will all be gone.

Atlanta just ripped off NOP.

ALT trades #13 to NOP for #23 and an unprotected 2026 1st (most favorable of NO and MIL!!!).
