Plz God go with Tatum Ainge.

Hey, no public praying, it gives you an unfair advantage over all us atheists that want Tatum instead.

Don't trade the pick for anyone but KP! Bledsoe+4+Mia 18 for KP+Noah. Send Chandler off for anything and we are in a really good spot for our rebuild.

Otherwise take whoever is left of Jackson and Tatum.

Is KP an 'established star player'? If so, I'm down.

Since when did Fox get in the conversation?

Not sure what you mean... I've always had Fox over Tatum

Oh, I just haven't seen anything, from anyone of any consequence mention that the Suns like Fox. They didn't even bring him in for our important workouts and all that. Or any PGs for that matter. You'd think if we were thinking PGs we would have brought some in, or something.

I mean we've brought two of the top guys in for two workouts, watched one in Sacramento and one in more of a public workout.

Exactly. And like I said the Suns will take Tatum, which will not make me happy.

I was anti-Tatum early on too but he really impressed me down the stretch, I don't see a better clear-cut prospect out there. So, while I'll be happy with Jackson or even Isaac, I'll especially be happy if we draft Jayson.

Suns won't get KP or JJ you just know it

Music to my ears....anything outside of jackson or fox is meh! Their explosiveness and athleticism gives them potential star power.

It would just be very nice if those guys could shoot, since this game is all about shooting a basketball through a small hoop.

"Since this 'game' is 'all' about shooting a basketball through a small hoop."

Respectfully disagree! Scoring is 'all' about shooting a basketball through a small hoop. Winning is 'all' about scoring the most. However, the 'game' itself has many elements and is not 'all' about shooting. ..but shooting is a big part of it

"It would just be very nice if those guys could shoot,"

Agreed 100%! But they are both ultra competitive, high motored kids with strong BBIQ's, i have confidence they will improve. It will be difficult, but teaching someone to be ultra athletic and driven by an intense competitive fire deep in there gut is even more difficult.

I think that intense competitive flame is what the great ones have in common....some couple it with great shooting, some couple it with great athlecism.....some, the greats amongst greats, have all 3....only one of them is teachable and with the number 4 pick, I'm at a Vegas slot betting the max!!!

Tatum is going to be solid.

I just don't get excited about him adding to our young developing front court of Warren-Chriss-Bender. Jackson's play making and defense push him clearly ahead of Tatum in my book. Fox coupled with a Bledsoe trade that leads to a defensive wing pick is also far far more exciting than adding Tatum.

This is what I am deathly afraid of. With KP out there why wouldn't Ainge just take Jackson and control the deal for KP?

However, guessing the Knicks want more than just #3. Given Ainge's pension for winning deals he may be turned off by the while situation.

Hopefully Celtics want butler more to win now and get a 3 way trade going is the only way I see it working out for us

Sounds like you are talking about Michael Kidd Gilchrist.

Ainge has been trying to get Butler since last season. Porzingis is not even on his radar.

Just repeat the first and last sentences over and over while you are trying to go to sleep tonight...you'll wake up content.

You're talking about Michael kidd gilchrist; I'm talking about Jimmer Fredette!

...one of these guys can shoot, one of these guys can't, one of these guys is still in the league, one is not.

So much for the game being 'all' about shooting!

This is a very sad story about KP. I wonder if Knicks already has some medical red flags on him.
Doesnt make any sense.

ImNotMcDiSwear · Post #678 » by **ImNotMcDiSwear** » Thu Jun 22, 2017 3:04 am

It's possible Phil deals with us so he doesn't have to see KP four times a year. Take some of the sting out.

So what you are saying is that you used to be a fan but now you are an air conditioner?

More of a swamp cooler

I love his attitude, speed, length, and think he would be great in the open court.

But he breaks my longstanding rule that I dont want pgs who can't shoot.

He'd be a fun player but scary.

The NY press would be a frenzy those games.
