    The Suns with the 2018 #1 overall pick select....

    Yes! There will plenty of momentum favoring Ayton so if our decision makers go against that for JJJ or Bamba they'll have to have strong reasons. If they're just trying to prove their the smartest people in the room well, screw them and I'll join the fire brigade.

    Now its about #16, 31, and 59

    I can see Boban having his uses but I don't want to give up Reed and Williams - they are both valuable for our second unit. With, say, Harrison at point, TJ on the wing, and Alex Peters rounding it out at PF, that could be a high scoring second unit and also pretty strong defensively. Against...

    The Suns with the 2018 #1 overall pick select....

    I haven't seriously considered JJJ because of his low amount of PT but on the basis of this write up & vid, I have to say he looks like a first rate defender and more of an offensive threat than Bamba. I'm not going to lobby for the Suns to take him but I'll be happy with either JJJ or Bamba if...

    Summer trades?

    Whoa. Why should we bail the Blazers out of that mistake. I am assuming you are answering the question of how much they owe McCollum.

    2018 EuroLeague Final Four

    His height is listed as 1.99 meters which converts to 6'6.35". Of course there no reason to believe the metric measurement is particularly accurate.

    Summer trades?

    It would be great to get Marcus Smart... our other guys could learn a lot about playing defense from seeing him every night. He might even inspire them. I'd like to see McD give it a shot. Like I've been saying all year there are a good number of young, unheralded PGs around the league right...

    PJ and Ariza led the Rocks tonight. One of keys to Game 1 was Warriors with only 5 TO - tonight 15 and subpar shooting on top of that. I'm guessing seven game series and Warriors eking it out.

    Summer trades?

    Hard to understand wanting Russell... he's a poor defender(5th worst PG on Drpm), he turns the ball over a lot(Ast/TO 1.7), and shoots 3's at 32.4%. He isn't even particularly good at shooting inside the arc or getting to the rim. If you wanted a PG who shoots a lot, on the cheap, I guess he'd...

    Summer trades?

    Where's SirStephan? He's the most likely person to have seen Doncic in recent games. I watched three full games of Doncic playing for his national team last summer and saw nary a post up move by Luka. In fact he was never at the point in those games though he initiated maybe ten percent of...

    Now its about #16, 31, and 59

    I'm glad you put it like that, Steve. I'm not interested in another Bledsoe! If he's also short just forget everything I said about him. I just hear strong defender and I stop thinking sometimes. Heck, I like Harrison quite a lot... he defends pretty well and he's 6'4 and he's on our roster...

    If Sexton falls below 8 we might be able to move up to get him. All three later picks and a sweetener might do it. The question would probably be whether to sacrifice TJ... I'd go Chriss in a heartbeat. We could also absorb a pretty bad contract as the sweetener.

    HOW MY TANK TASTE NOW?!?

    We didn't even tank. Triano just played the young guys as any sensible person would in the circumtance. If anything he should have played Harrison and Alec Peters more. I admit trading Bled could be construed as tanking but he forced his way out.

    The Suns with the 2018 #1 overall pick select....

    My preference for a PG is Colin Sexton in this draft. Plays good D, athletic as the devil, high energy, questionable as 3pt shooter. I see him as the kind of PG we need to put next to Book. I'm a little more inclined toward Trae Young since I've heard he's been hard at work getting stronger...

    D DAY

    Last year was easy... I wanted us to pick fourth to minimize the chances we'd draft Fultz or Ball. Three would have been okay but there was still a risk one of them had fallen there. This year I only fear Young and I'd rather not pick Doncic over a big but if I can live with it if Igor and McD...

    Free Agency 2018

    I thought Payton looked like a keeper his first few games here, then it looked like he decided to just mail it in. I'm not inclined to waste a lot of time or money on him - beyond giving him 20 bucks to get his hair cut. It would be nice if Kokoskov could have a go at him but I think we'd have...

    Boston won't go down without a fight in the finals - and I expect them to get there. They play quite good defense and team basketball on the offensive end. I wouldn't bet on them to win but I expect them to make a close series of it, going at least six games and probably seven.

    Suns reported to make max contract offer to Rockets Center

    One thing that does give you an idea about that is what he's doing during this slack time before the draft. According to an article post in the 'Draft Prospect Watch' thread, Bomba is working all day, every day with a coach, a trainer and a dietician to get himself ready. And playing chess to...

    Not blasphemy at all. I really don't like pairing him with a PG who is also a weak defender like Young or, to a lesser extent, Doncic. Guys like Caanan(if healthy) or Harrison would be passable on defense, IMO.

    Doncic gets Triple Double in 22 minutes. First in 11 years

    I'll give Doncic one thing, he has the highest floor in the draft. He could give his team a problem like Dragic did - playing for his national team to the detriment of his NBA performance. To be fair Dragic still played all out but his focus was still on his national team. Dirk and the Gasol...
