IT IS THE MOST DUMB SPORT STRATEGY IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS .

On paper it's only 5 spots in the draft, but Chriss is a tier above anyone else available in the draft at this point.

I just worry about a possible miss on an international we're high on later on.

This is probably the end of our night, but you gotta admit, I doubt a lotta could have saw this coming

I'm in the draft party right now, when they announced we traded for Chriss the place about erupted.

Maybe Suns could get Markieff back to mentor Bender and Chriss.

There's no possible way we're done this off season, we didn't address the log jam at guard and we created another in the front court. Something has gotta give, and that something better be Brandon Knight and Tyson Chandler out the door.

haha love that reaction to the Maker pick on ESPN - "Thon Maker is.....perhaps...the most traveled player in the draft...."

I don't think we're done yet... Knight or Bledsoe might be moved still

Don't forget about Zhou Qi at #34.

Getting both Chriss and Bender while basically giving up the #13 and a Euro stash player is a great deal. McDonough killed it in this draft. Two more major pieces for this team to build with. Bender can contribute right away while they can develop Chriss over time. Both have very good upside.

Both guys are big time upside guys, but big time gambles at the same time. It's like a 50/50 roll for us. And Bender contributing right away?? I highly doubt that, he's gotta get ALOT stronger before he's gonna be ready for The NBA. A season or two at least Id before either of them really start to contribute. I think both these guys are more future orientated guys as in 2-3 years down the line.

He didn't want to come over this upcoming season and we didn't want to pay him tons of money

Don't get me wrong, I like the trade. I think it's an amazing deal for the Suns.

I just think people are underrating what we gave up in this deal. Bogdan is a great player.

Well, sure, but Bogdan wasn't coming over this year, we still have Booker, Bledsoe, Knight, Goodwin, Price, Jenkins, PJ, and Warren for 1-3, and now have Len, Chandler, Bender, and Chriss at 4-5.

We weren't selecting 4 rookies, s trading 13 and 28 to get a top 5 prospect that fell to 8--you have to make that deal.

If we can somehow grab Bembry, Payton II, Felder, and oh my, what if Valentine slides down to 34???

We have a lot of choices at 34, but the BIGGEST piece that people need to remember is that we went from ZERO at PF to 2, top-8 prospects at he position. Just look at our Depth chart now:

Bledsoe/Knight/Price
Booker/Goodwin/Jenkins
Warren/PJ
Bender/Chriss
Len/Chandler

And we still have 34...this is freaking amazing!!!

I made that great point two pages ago!

Bledsoe
Booker
Warren
Chriss
Bender

That's in the future...but great for small ball...and it's not really even small, and rebounding is a huge problem for now...but still we have so many options for lineups in the future.

Maker & the Freak will be something.
