TJ won't be giving up that spot too easily.

That's why I was ok with trading next year's Miami pick. They will probably be the 4 or 5 seed in the East next year. They're not going to start that bad again.

Re: SPOILER Draft Thread
Still can't believe the twolves got the 16th pick in that trade. What a great trade for Minnesota. They are a playoff team next year surpassing Portland I think

Don't doubt Gambo ... I know he has been wrong in the past but he his money this year !!!! I know Reeds agent !! Suns absolutely love him ... I will dramatically surprised if the Suns don't take him somewhere in the second via 32 or trade !!!!!
I'm not doubting Gambo, it would be a massive reach to take Reed over Ojeleye, Bell, among many others.
I think they take Reed with 54 and Ojeleye or Hart at 32 - but I guess a lot depends on who is there
would love Bell -

Re: SPOILER Draft Thread
I really like what the Kings are doing so far. As for us, if Giles or Bell are available you have to take them at 32.

Re: SPOILER Draft Thread
Love what we've done in the draft so far.
REALLY loved the idea of not moving Bledsoe for peanuts to draft Fox - I've been against that for a long time now.
Jackson was THE pick of the draft - to me a better one than Fultz as was thought by other GM's in the league outside of Philly.
If he can even slightly improve his outside shooting and translate all his other skills, he will be a Jimmy Butler type for us for a decade to come.
Now we need to address our bigs. Bender is too far away still and after 4 years I'm still not sold on Len as more than a backup.
Can we move Warren for a mid/late first to pick up John Collins or Jarrett Allen then pick up OG Anunoby with the #32 if he falls that far?
I also love what the Kings and Hornets have done thus far this off season - excellent moves from both franchises that have had a history of questionable moves.

I don't know - Suns don't have that many roster spots atm. So I think 54 is going to be stash guy

This will be the best thing to happen to TJ.

You may be right !!! However, every guy you mentioned works out together in the same workout. Not single workouts like the top 8 picks.
From what I am told Reed outshined them all in phx ! What happens from here remains to be seen but don't be surprised if Reed is our guy or we trade for Reed .... Maybe knight or Dudley for a second rounder !?
Well, Ojeleye and Bell likely will be long gone by then.

Bledsoe is a candidate for Jazz... once George Hill leaves.

Re: SPOILER Draft Thread
I smell a Rubio + 16 for Bledsoe incoming - no reason for Minny to draft Patton with Towns and Dieng on board, right?

I think we can get Ojeleye with our first 2nd rd pick.
