So the odds are saying there would be ~6% chance we draft Doncic.

The only problem is have with the Pumas is the upper lacing, same problem i have with Hardens adidas, no need to weird up the lacing on an otherwise good looking shoe.

They look pretty good. Better than Under Armour

They look good for teens street wear.

The sole looks inappropriate for professional players nor the sock like material.

I think I'll pass - I'm waiting on the Gelo3 to come out. :lol:

Or like the KD 10 Zooms?

I think going with Puma is going to result in these guys getting their own Signature Shoes next season. This year they wear the Clyde Disrupt's with custom PE (Player Edition colorways), and next season they branch out to their own Signature shoes, something that is very very very difficult to obtain with Nike, but would make sense in them signing with Puma over Nike.

Here are the Gelo3's

Perfect for the player that cant play and is stuck watching the games from his brothers couch.

If MPJ is selected before # 9 I know for a fact that the Suns Knicks have a hand shake deal. Suns will trade #16 + Bender + 2019 Milwaukee pick (If not conveyed Knicks will have rights to swap with 2019 Suns #1 protected) for #9. Confident enough to back it up with gold.

1 (Ayton) and 2021 Miami pick are off limits holding too much value.

It could be total bull, but worth reading the thread. Apparently he provided the same and deleted it after the person said they believe him now.

Well that pick will almost certainly be protected so it would be our first next year and Bender and 16 for Young. There is a good chance that will be a top 5 pick.

I used to be a sneaker collector and sadly still have about 50 pairs boxed up in storage lol.

And Nike ... Although probably have questionable manufacturing ethics... Similarly to all big brands... Have the best sole shock loading design.

Shoes in the late 90s with their bulkier soles and ankle protection are best for basketball protection wise... Although I really like Lebron's 2015 products with the ankle straps and also the Hyperflights. But the low cuts need ankle taping for me lol... Ankles are worn out so... Don't recommend them for anyone with ankle issues.

Ayton landing pattern is a concern to me already.... He needs that corrected ASAP.. Especially with these light protecting Pumas

Remember when we didn't draft Kawhi because of a bad interview? I'm sure no Suns fan would ever suggest that an interview should have a big impact on who the Suns select in the draft, right?

It does say rights to swap in 2019, not give up outright, so it'd only matter if we had a worse record and the Milwaukee pick didn't convey. I'd like to think we won't be bottom 5 next year, especially with McDs lip service about bringing in veterans and improving the team.

I would make that trade. Mikal Bridges or Trae Young (probably who will be available at 9)

Who would you rather take at 16 if one of these guys slipped?
