I was looking forward to watching our first game back from the All-Star Break but then I realized Knight is running the offense again and now I 'm probably not even gunna bother tuning in. Thanks for the reminder

Anyway, why does everyone think the Wizards will not make the playoffs. They are barely out of the playoffs and have John Wall. Not to mention, but the Heat might drop out of the playoffs now since Bosh is out for a while sadly.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Heat. I was saying Chicago or Indiana might drop out. I think Miami and Charlotte drop and Detroit/Washington get in. Two more ex Suns in the playoffs.

Some of you really like to suffer in advance. Those "perfect storm" scenarios are just...It would probably only cross my mind at the end of the season, if then.

I doubt Phoenix uses Wizards and Cavaliers' picks. We have a lot of youth, and we are still chasing superstars. Most likely they are used in trades in the future. And they are not strong enough to push us from, say, #4 or 5 to #1 or 2. Probably only the Nets would trade a potential superstar for 3 very good players in a draft, but they dont even own their picks, so...

So Markieff, on to play with his 4th Kentucky PG.

I dont think that happens. Heat will just use Whiteside more, and will get a bit worse, but they have like 5 games on Washington. Thats a lot with so few games to go.

Too me Tucker needs to go because he is the last step backwards. What I mean is he is one of the last players that represents the worst era of Suns basketball. He isn't this so called "leader" people claim him to be.

And let's be honest he isn't exactly a player to brag about. He is what he is. He is 5-10 minute guy on a good team.

I want to move on from the 2011-2016 era. Tucker IS that era.

Whiteside seems to be injured a lot (on my fantasy team). But Bosh was their best player, easily. Washington apparently has the easiest schedule left.

Gonna take at least 10 games for Washington mesh. So schedule don't matter much.

Ivan Rabb projected at our normal spot of 13 on DX.

Rabb is definitely not gunna last that long. DX just makes contrarian hipster projections

Rabb's not as good as some here think. But also Labissiere projected 10th, Hield 11th, Stone 9th, Korkmaz 14th.

Suns trade: this year's #3 Pick (projected), Wizzard's #13 pick (projected), 2019 Miami's unprotected 1st
Suns receive: #1 pick from Philly or LA.

Suns draft Ben Simmons

Great move by McD to get another asset to package with our existing assets in order to move up in the draft.

No one who has the #1 or 2 is going to trade it unless they get a superstar back. This is the second time someone has posted that another team would give up one of those picks.

Philly is shopping there #3 pick halfway through the first season. I definitely think they would consider moving up a couple spots if it gained them two additional (likely) lottery picks!

The NBA draft is all about quality, not quantity. The first pick in the lottery is as about as good an asset that exists in the league. It is the best chance a team has to get a generational player.

I've read that three times and I don't follow. I know they are shopping Okafor, but then you mention them moving up, not down.
