Heat traded the pick to Sixers and they'll pick Moultrie.

Yeah. Pretty good move for both teams. Heat gets a future first and a mid 2nd rounder. Sixers get a very interesting big man prospect. That team likes to run. Plug him in for Brand and get after it. Sixers have had an excellent draft with Harkless & now Moultrie.

It's hard to like the Suns on draft night.

PJ3 to Thunder

 

[SirStefan32]

Meh, I'm done for a while.

 

[HooverDam]

PJ3 to Thunder

it must be fun to cheer for a team that has a front office that knows what they're doing. If Im an OKC fan right now I'd be over joyed, PJIII seems like the ideal backup for Durant.

@chadfordinsider: Miami Heat trading pick to 76ers. a minute ago

@chadfordinsider: 76ers will select Arnett Moultrie according to sources

Suns AGAIN stand PAT....where are the morons on this board who are defending the Suns FO's decision to just draft Marshall and not get another pick??

His knee must be seriously messed up for him to fall this much.

Indeed. I'll be honest with you mate. I'm so so tired of watching the Suns be reactive instead of proactive. There's a huge difference in what teams like Houston, Utah, and even Cleveland have been doing and what the Suns are doing.

Yeah, where? Oh that's right, there aren't any. Did you post this same exact thing on the RealGM board, since you copy and paste everything you write on both?

 

[HooverDam]

Maybe, or maybe GMs are being overly cautious. he already had some 'effort' red flags so combine that with the knee and he fell.

But good God, watching Westbrook-Harden-PJIII-Durant-Ibaka, wow. Talk about athletic, long, young and fun.

Yup.

 

[sunsfan88]

How does OKC get so damn lucky??

 

[Mainstreet]

Is anyone from the Suns FO briefing the media. Are they done for the night?

Oh they were done before they ever got started. Hell, they were done five years ago.

If PJ3 hits his full potential, they will be the best team in the West even after Harden/Ibaka leaves.

I know. I just wanted to know when to tune out. Don't they care about the fan's interest anymore. I guess not.

Has anything Lance Blanks done show that he cares anything for the fans? This is now the most unfan-friendly franchise in the NBA. It's embarrassing.

You'd think they'd look right down Jefferson and see how the D'backs at least try and learn something from it.

Its just so sad to see the Suns becoming what the Cardinals were pre UofP stadium. We were so spoiled with Colangelo for all those years, sure we didn't win it all, but we were never a laughing stock. I just feel like this moronic Front Office is making the Suns into a team like the Clips, Warriors, Bullets/Wizards, Bobcats, etc.

@Craig620: (they would like to add a 2nd rd pick) RT @SteveBurdorf: @Craig620 any trades in the draft for the suns?

No.

Is there a live feed on the radio covering the Suns? This is pathetic.

 

[slinslin]

The Suns have been getting more and more out of touch with the fanbase since 2002.

No draft coverage, no local media articles.. I mean look how little even Coro has to write about the team.

The website today is 1000000000000x worse than it was 10 years ago. Why? Obviously Sarver cut some of the expenses.

Blanks is disrespectful and comes across totally clueless. Babby should be in a home for the elderly after signing Warrick and Childress and trading for Hedo.

Thank goodness the Arizona Cardinals have come around to the position they care about the team and the fans.

At this point I don't really care if they get a second rounder. Nobody left who I am jazzed about except maybe Quincy Miller, but even he is probably not going to be much more than a D-league star. At this I would be willing to take a chance on him though.

 

[JCSunsfan]

According to Coro, the Sixers gave up #45 and a future first for Moultrie. No way we could have just bought that pick. We did not have a second to give up and no way should we be trading away future firsts.

Teams were not just selling picks at the end of the first round.

I felt that even the first round wasn't very deep in talent. Seems like a year full of busts. And yes I think Anthony Davis is going to be a NBA bust too.
