Hear is what I have from New York today - "We aren't trading him." in regards to Porzingis. "Unless we get something too good to turn down".

I find it interesting that the national media is generally claiming that everyone wants to trade into a top 5 spot to draft Josh Jackson, but that the Celtics, left to their own devices, are likely to take Tatum.

I am fine with making the selection, but it seems to me that each of Fox, Jackson and Tatum are worthy picks.

I just don't want the Suns to get impatient and reverse course. I'm encouraged to see that we're interested in moving Bled. I don't want to overpay for anything - especially when it looks like so many big names are available at a discount.

DO NOT MAKE A MOVE JUST TO MAKE A MOVE. BE LIKE THE CUBS, RYAN!!

LMA is better team guy wise than he looked for the Spurs and I would still be more open to him coming over Milsap or Love, but you net nothing in the area of value from me for him. Knight + Duds or Barbs, or something like that. Not one pick and not one young kid for the Spurs from us!!!
Maybe something in the area of two deals, one contingent on the other. Knight and barbs for LMA, and sign and trade Len (somewhere in the area of 10 mil a year) for Green, as a vet back up for Book with only 3 years left on his deal.

Yeah this guy isn't legit at all, no way he's beating Woj/Gambo with info about the Suns.

Plus he's using the term 'sources' way more than he probably needs to.
A buddy of mine, who is a Knicks fan, says some Knicks boards are freaking out over it so he sent it to me. It's not even a verified account so i can't imagine he has much credibility. Maybe some joe-schmo who has a podcast.

Someone even asked Gambo to comment on it but he hasn't. Probably knows it's not worth his time.

Let's say the trade can happen with Bledsoe, the 4, and one of Chriss/Bender.
Who would you be ok with losing between Bender and Chriss?
I feel like Chris is the guy to keep based on what we've seen. Any reason to want to keep Bender around?

Chriss has shown more so far but also had more playing time. Bender is more younger and more raw despite having more "Professional" experience. I also think Bender has a higher ceiling. I keep Bender and trade Chriss.

If a deal isn't finalized by 11AM local Phoenix time, it'll have to happen amidst the sound and fury of the draft itself...

I would keep Chriss based off his development, attitude, the GRIT he already has shown and his durability (Bender was straight up frail this year while Quese was in the trenches every practice and game) kid was ready to go and fight every game. Not to mention that it seemed that out front office seemed to leave Benders name off a lot of the praises of young kids this year.

Which is going to have to happen. It all depends on Jackson being there for us. I don't expect anything to happen until then, at least not officially.

I bet McD has about 3-4 things set up or in the works, depending on availability and other variables. As much crap as he gets, I still trust him to be on his toes and ready for whatever.

If I'm the Suns .....

Another scenario I would try to play out is plucking Porz from the Knicks and then drafting Lauri Markkenan. Could you imagine the size and athleticism on our front line?
