GIMME STEPHEN ZIMMERMAN!!!!!!!
SHAZAM!

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

But if we're again picking guards in the lottery, got to go with a big guy here and I really dislike what i've seen in Zhou Qi - just don't seeing him surviving in the league long term (even short term is a question mark), so gotta go with stash guy like Petr Cornelie. Yabusele is just too small and there' s no way we' re not going with stash player here.


Make sure if you want to vote for Cornelie, that you click on "Other" and specify that your "other" vote is for Cornelie.

I'm surprised no one has picked Yabusele. When you say he's small you mean as far as height? Because the guy is 6'8, 270 lbs, and shoots 43% from 3. I wish there was a blend of Cornelie and Yabusele.

Brice Johnson. McCoy can call him BJ and everything is right with the world.

Even though i like Zhou and Maker, Murray is totally BPA and should have been drafted much much higher.

I did mean height and length.
So my vote is for Cornelie

Didn't Coro say in his mock he has the Suns taking Murray with #13? I do not like his mock draft. :lol:

Yes, and many mocks do have him going in the 10-20 range.

If we drafted Jamal Murray, Timothe Luwawu, and Dejounte Murray in the 1st round without a single power forward this board would implode lol

Dejounte Murray it is. Thanks for playing.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I swung it for Murray. Think it was the right call.

Maybe Sarver thinks Dejounte Murray and Jamal Murray are brothers and he will force McD to draft them both :lol:
And then of course trade for Bojan Bogdanovic.

I would love to have Murray and Luwawu on board next season, they are really good prospects who are versatile, smart and can shoot the ball.

IMO you are giving to much importance to our needs. We have trades and FA like other options to get a good PF on our team, it has always been a big mistake to draft for need/fit and not for talent/upside.


Well I voted for both of those players that we took, so I like them. I am not saying draft for need over BPA with that post as I think Ellenson will probably be a better player than Luwawu and is pretty much higher on every board and mock anyway, so in hindsight I didn't vote for the BPA because I was too concerned with big unathletic white guy. This was before he came in and ran the court length 25 times in three minutes I believe, so my opinion has changed on him a bit.

I don't think there are really any free agent PFs that will be big difference makers that we will be able to sign. Trade for? Maybe.

Yeah, Ellenson is a good prospect too...but I would prefer Luwawu over him. Terrific defender, agresive and jumps out of the gym.

About signing a PF... Marvin Williams, for example.
And we can trade for someone like Thad Young too. Brandon Knight for Young can be fair for both teams.

Just two ideas of possible options at PF.
