NBA 2017 Draft thread. 5th pick and 10th pick.

[kalenclayton]

I don't feel that from him at all. I think the one thing with Nick Young went down and he got some bad press. Nothing to do with his play on the court.

Your entitled to your opinion & If others agree with you then so be it .

A few questions you may or may not have answered already...I just don't remember

Does your source know you are posting this info on message boards and is that the reason they are giving it to you(to be posted for fans and whoever else to see)?

Do they tell you all this over the phone or email or in person?

Hey BenchMobbin02, have you only asked dozencousins this question in this thread or is it a rivalry/beef you have with him/her? I'm honestly curious because he hasn't responded to you so I was thinking you might be just heckling the dude.

Is Ainge taking Tatum though? I don't think it's a safe bet he'll make it past the Suns at 4.

At This point I don't even care who he takes. He already went full crazy.

Also he's likely to wait to the draft anyway and have the deal contingent on who the suns pick.

There's also the possibility the suns may make a trade to get Jackson if thats their guy to prevent the kings from jumping them.

Just trying to weave my way through the mess danny created

It's all nice and pretty sitting at 1. Welcome to our mess at 3-5. Been this way for weeks

I remember how this feels from last year. I wanted danny to trade pick 3 and he didn't and worse he picked brown who wasn't in anyone's projected top 7.

I haven't even bothered to get to know Tatum or Jackson or Isaac. It was fultz all the way.

Needless to say I needed a few recovery days. My own peers on my board are way more supporting of the trade than I am

Sac fans interested in 3 for 5 and 10?

Fantasy for us celtic fans? You can have rozier lol

My guess is the Suns are happy with any of the three wings. My gut actually tells me they prefer Isaac over the other two. He shut down his workouts after his second with the Suns and said he wouldn't work out with a team past 4. The only other team that worked him out was Boston. I think Jackson might be slipping, after blowing off workouts, not working out for teams, the off court issues, etc. You already wonder about his shooting and how that translates with the horrid FT%

I'd give him some credit. If he does walk out with Tatum, he might be the one laughing last. I might be higher on Tatum than some though and I do think he's exactly what Boston needs long term.

I'm guessing Ainge is happy with Jackson, Tatum or Isaac which is why he might trade down to 5, because one would be there. But I doubt anyone knows. Probably not even dozencousins.

Really you a Mod being sarcastic about me . You don't know me and you attacking me is uncalled for .
I doubt this is the type of nonsense a mod should be doing . You have something you want to say to me then PM me .
You are more than wrong for the disrespect you are given me .

Maybe. They all could fit pretty well for them in different ways. If I were them I'd pick Tatum because he has star offensive potential and should play defense well enough to suit Ainge's demands on that end.

Danny said we needed more scoring so I was shocked to see him trade fultz for what many of us believe to be Jackson.

All for potentially pick 2 or 3 next year.

Yeah, there might be something to that then. I haven't been hearing much about Isaac or Tatum in regards to their workouts so there may indeed be something going on here.

[benchmobbin02]

I'd have to say no to Russell as well, just a bad fit. But I would also be shocked that they would entertain the thought of moving him for Kennard. The Lakers are dumb if they think by taking Ball they have to move Russell. Those two are actually perfect compliments to one another.

What make Russell a bad fit in your eyes?

I am not attacking you. We have an insider on the Suns forum as well, but if he does know anything about what the Suns think, I doubt he knows anything about what other teams are thinking.

I'll guess.

*Needs the ball
*too similar to buddy
*bad defensive pair
*and something in his PnR game isn't right


Hahaha it's all love SacKingzzz

Yeah, throw Bender in there with them and you have a nightmare lineup from 3-5 that can all shoot 3's and defend multiple positions with Chriss and Isaac. Booker could become the next James Harden if those guys get a consistent spot 3 down. That's an easy 3-5 more apg right there.

No beef on this end. I just want answers to the questions to help understand the relationship.

So much this. The idea that an insider has a source not only connected to your team but that the source also frequently has inside info on all the other teams in the league is one of the more glaring reasons why so many of us have "doubts"

Not a fan defensively next to Buddy and I think his game also translates to that of a volume guy on his best days. If the Kings were starting from ground zero and he was an option I'd be more open, but they aren't.

He has been a jerk to me for years and he keeps posting that message to bother me and though I have never personal messaged him he has harassed me with at least 6=7 messages with the same post for the last several days now . He is always causing trouble .

Yes, I love that lineup as well. They can all switch, block shots, hit 3s (Chriss and Bender haven't done it at a good rate yet, but I think they are capable). I think with those three, Warren as a traditional 3 and having one traditional 5 to hold down the frontcourt, they could avg 29 minutes each. I imagine the traditional C would get maybe 20-25 minutes and some of the others to get more. I'd love it.

By the way, I don't imagine you guys listened to the Vecenie podcast today, but it's interesting...they discuss our draft trade last year, and they both talk about your players and how they think you won the trade. Many Suns fans wouldn't agree, but I found it interesting as I follow the league as a whole. I'll find it if you are interested in hearing.

Danny said we needed more scoring so I was shocked to see him trade fultz for what many of us believe to be Jackson.

All for potentially pick 2 or 3 next year.

Ainge has already come out and talked about him naturally tilting towards defensive minded players. If there is 1 player to have concerns about defensively in the top 6 of this draft it's Fultz. He could always improve and certainly has more physical tools than him but I envision him as being a bit like Kyrie Irving defensively. It will be interesting to see how much a Fultz/Simmons combo scares teams on that end of the floor.
