Nice turn around. Parker Jackson-Curry with that long 3 :lol:
SHAZAM!

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

It will be nice to pull this out, but it's going to come down to the end. The interesting thing to me about Markaanen is that it is extremely rare to have a guy at his age and that height, to have that much muscle. That's impressive. I mean, that alone will help him be able to play in the front court immediately in the nba. And of course the rebounding and 3 pt shooting from a 7 footer.

Edit: HUGE WIN! Love Kadeem Allen.

Exciting game. Kadeem going coast to coast for the win.

I was impressed with Markkanen. I didn't expect him to start. Should be a good year for us. Hopefully everything's alright with Zo and we can get him back soon.

Not sure. Didn't see him play tonight. I'm not worried about either one of them. They both are very good.

Jackson is also a year older than Wiggins was as a freshman.

Lonzo's jumper looks like Marion's but it goes in for them.
Fultz with a 30/7/6 opening game.
We should get a point guard this year and move on from bled and knight.

Lauri Markkanen is a stud.

I guess I should have realized I wasn't the only Markkanen fan around. I know a lot of college studs fall short in the pros but this is the kind of draft where I think it makes sense to really roll the dice. I'd like to see us trade whatever combination of Bledsoe, Knight, Tucker, Miami pick 1 and Miami pick 2 that it takes in order to acquire at least 2 more lottery picks in this draft. Walk away with Marrkanen, one of the better point guards and another big man and we could be looking at a very fun team for years to come. I'd be quite pleased to see a rotation of Ulis, Booker, Warren, Marrkanen, Bender, Chriss, Len, Monk, Jones Jr and someone like Johnathan Motley or Omer Yurtseven. I really think this is a great year to cash in those Miami chips and cash out on any player that isn't in our longterm plans, if necessary, to make this happen.
