Booker is not skilled beyond his shot but his deep range has boosted his stock. He has good court acumen but lacks the athleticism of most NBA wing players.

Ugh. I`d try to avoid one-dimensional future role players in the lottery range.

Whether that's Enes Kanter, Greg Monroe, Draymond Green, Tobias Harris, Nikola Mirotic.
McDonough's picks fill the other positions - Bledsoe, Knight, Warren, ____, Len.

If your goal is mediocrity then it's a good plan.
I'm sick of trying to make the playoffs and failing every year. Of course young guys don't get many minutes as making the PO is more important than developing the youth. And in the end it leaves us with another 13th-14th pick. Yay!
With so many teams wanting to trade their pick and compete it's good occasion for rebuild. If McD and Hornacek can't live without dual pg lineup then trade Bled for 4th and pick Mudiay who is better playmaker and has sg size.
Although I personally would take Winslow. He can be next Kawhi, Butler, Paul George. I would play him as sg and Warren as sf.
Of course I would like Towns or Russell but I don't think we could get them.
Mayby Okafor could be available but he couldn't play together with Len.
Kristaps has great potential but is very risky.
Mario looks a bit like a rich man's Gerald Green. Very similar strenghts and weaknesses.
I will be very disappointed if the Suns would keep the roster only adding next mediocre players and not giving minutes to TJ and Archie because it may possibly lose them soem games.

I'm sure Hornacek would love to add a shooter. As he would simply try to inprove the team incrementally. But McD is still in star-search mode.
The question is... Does Knicks need a player like Bledsoe. Can he play in the triangle.

You guys are pretty down on Bledsoe huh. I think I'd rather just keep Mudiay/Russell, whoever falls.

Some are. More of the complainers or people that have superstar expectations of all draft picks are out in more forces these days. Personally, if the Suns did trade Bledsoe for the 4th pick, I'd take Porzingis.

Well that'd make sense since you have Knight. Just surprised at all the Bledsoe hate on here since I thought he was one of the better 2 way guards in the league. Still needs to take the next step and he has some personality/leadership issues I see, but not someone you should be trying to trade I'd think. Do you value him or Knight higher?

I am not sure Booker is a better prospect than Reggie Bullock. Instead of wasting a lottery pick on a role player just give minutes next season to Bullock and we can potentialy have a tall, 3 and D guard.

He's a significantly better prospect actually. Bullock at 19 was nowhere near the player Booker is.

Not if we get a guy like Winslow or Russell. I like Bledsoe, I really do, but we are going nowhere with him as a leader, primary ballhandler and a first option, there are no stars we can realisticaly get via trade so we should draft one. Winslow will be one hell of a player.
