Yep...this is so important.


We should all add it to our sig just like Miyagi did to remind people. Because jdiddy and others will go crazy every game.

Wow, you've been missing for awhile. Where have you been?

Moved from my ne house to another, and have been renovating for the last three months. I've been reading here and there, but just haven't had much time to post, plus I didn't have much to add.

Yeah, I see the remaining basket over the head avatar and understand it's been embarrassing to be a Suns fan as well. Hope all is well.

Oh, I still wore my Suns gear everywhere I went, even going into this summer. I hope all is well for you too.

JMac likes it...but he was on Bender...just loved Hield too (but who doesn't like Hield?)

Cactus Jack - not around

ginobili - not around

I usually can remember who all liked who but my photographic memory is failing me because I often confuse some posters.

Though there were a few that rarely post that hated the picks...like Dambo, SteveNashidis and maybe some others.

I am high on Buddy, but he is a natural with the Pels. He is from the islands and has a little voodoo vibe to him. Its a really good fit for him.

I liked him a lot. But then I soured on everyone and now I'm high on BENDER, CHRISS AND ULIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHAZAM!

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

Dunn, Lavine, Wiggins, and KAT is sick! I can't wait to watch them play, about time.

They have length, defense, and athleticism, but if our guys pan out, we aren't too far behind.

I like him a lot too. But I really like Booker and Warren and thought we could address needs instead of depth.

Poll Added

Vote away everyone. I'd like to see what the general sentiment is, especially from those who don't or haven't posted

Yep, it will be fun living here in Minny and being happy for that team and the city. I had a ticket guy call me the other day, and we talked for a bit. I told him I'd root for the Wolves except when they played the Suns.

I Was hoping for Dunn/Hield over Bender at 4. But solid pick. Time will tell. I'm okay with Chriss at 8. I think both will be good players in time. I don't necessarily see All-stars. But, it wasn't a great draft anyway. So, the team ends up with two solid starters with potential. I would give the draft a B/B+ grade. Btw, I like the Ulis pick. Too bad, they gave up #28. I like Skal.

Trade knight in July and what a offseason by McD. His draft record is pretty damn good so if ppl have questions on bender and Chriss that should give you faith

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

I'm still hyped. It was a very good draft for us, and I'm excited that it looks like we're going to embrace developing the young players. This is definitely a confidence move by McDonough on the last year of his contract to take on 2 high ceiling project players in one draft with a rookie coach. I'm pretty optimistic right now, which I can't say I've been in awhile.
