Maybe it is for the benefit of confusing possible trade partners.

I hope so. I have no faith in our Suns.

Boston asking for too much

Denver tried to move up to three, but like everyone else, for now, felt Boston wanted too much for the pick(s)

Sacramento has been heavily engaged in trade talks all week and sources say one player they've tried to land is the Lakers' D'Angelo Russell

Maybe it is for the benefit of confusing possible trade partners.

It also *might* mean that's the impetus behind trading for #5, so we can get both.

Normally that might not be good, but with everybody being a seller in the draft (as evidenced by the HUGE list of purported teams wishing to trading their first round picks), it might be possible and not too expensive.

An additional way it would make sense is McD has long said he wants to have a group of guys together along the same age/rights lines. With Booker and a bunch of draftees, and possible departures of Knight and/or Bledsoe, he'd be reloading that idea for another try.

I don't think the Suns would want both Chriss and Bender but who knows.

Bulls have held advanced discussions w/ Celtics centered on Jimmy Butler and No. 3 pick. Bulls love Kris Dunn. But Bulls don't love Cs offer

ESPN sources say Philadelphia is offering Nerlens Noel, No. 24 and No. 26 in tonight's draft and Robert Covington for Boston's No. 3 pick

Sounds like Celtics are talking to both 76ers and Bulls about No. 3 pic

Of course. Just potentially putting some square pegs in some square holes... though they may be round

Source?

If true not even a 2nd round pick imo.

Didn't see your post till now. Saw this tweet:

Celtics will select Jaylen Brown

There has to be more.

 

[Mainstreet]

Maybe the Jaylen Brown selection by the Celtics opens up some trade options for the Suns.

 

[Absolute Zero]

that seems like a reach, the pick that is

 

[Fenkin]

Dragan please.

 

[CardsFan88]

Well we have our choice of Chriss, Dragan, and Dunn.

 

[sunsfan88]

Dragon Bender is the one I'm not a huge fan of for us so I think he's probably going to be the pick.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some fans are not going to be happy.

 

[slinslin]

This is the absolue low point

This is Len at 5 all over again, a top5 pick wasted on a guy that will never wow anyone..

 

[sunsfan88]

Damn it's Bender.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Some fans are not going to be happy.

Always is that way

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Len now Bender??? Unfrickenbievable!

 

[Mainstreet]

So the Suns draft Dragan Bender at #4.

I was hoping the Suns would trade down here.

 

[CardsFan88]

Wow, Bender.

 

[Fenkin]

Don't worry guys. He is my brother from Croatia. He'll gonna be a franchise player for us.

 

[Finito]

What a joke what a freaking joke.

I honestly can't even express my disappointment
