So, Sacramento would much rather put Robinson next to Cousins rather than mess with Drummond, no?

Let's hope we don't trade the world to get Waiters from Cleveland.

If there is one team that needs vet leadership now, it's Sacramento... Cousins/Robinson is a hell of a combo.

Too bad Tyreke Evans doesn't know how to pass

Sacramento just moved past the Suns just by selecting Thomas Robinson.

2nd best player in the draft and most importantly for that team great character. Robinson/Cousins frontcourt will be tough to deal with for the Suns.

Cousins/TRob vs Gortat/Morris eek

Are we chatting somewhere?

Thomas Robinson/Cousins front court = best front court in the NBA

But how will Sacramento contend with our two-headed monster of Redd/Allen?

Lilliard going to Portland.

Or our 6'11" three-point shooting ace??

 

[Quagmire]

Suns should be on the phone with Toronto right now!!!!

Trade up for Harrison Barnes. Take on Calderon's contract, of course Nash wants to end his career up there...

 

[slinslin]

I wouldn't mind if the Suns traded up for Harrison Barnes. Pretty sure thing that he will be a starting SF for someone for the next 5-8 years.

LOL at the interview with the 9-year-old girl. Whose idiotic idea was that?

 

[JCSunsfan]

Wow. Waiters before Robinson. Cool. Interesting draft.

 

[slinslin]

Robinson and Cousins will probably outrebound our flat-footed team all by themselves.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Harrison Barnes next? He's also a player I am not sure I would want. Kind of a Melo type of ball hog.

Do you know Robinson's background story? I expected that from ESPN.

The biggest knock on Barnes is that he is not agressive enough. Absolutely not Melo.

 

[HooverDam]

Wow ESPN is the worst, reminding TRob of his dead family and then awkwardly bothering his sister

 

[slinslin]

Golden State will be interesting now. They were expected to pick Waiters.

Drummond, Zeller or Barnes now?

 

[JCSunsfan]

Lillard has some real potential. A KJ type.

I don't know the story, but what difference does it make? Interviewing the kid sister was stupid.

 

[slinslin]

I don't know the story, but what difference does it make? Interviewing the kid sister was stupid.

Basically his whole family passed away in a couple of months and he is trying to make it to the NBA to take care of his sister. So I was fully expecting ESPN to put his sister in the spotlight.

I'm surprised they didn't ask her if she misses her mother.

You haven't explained why it wasn't a stupid idea. The family story is tragic, and his sense of responsibility for his sister is noble, but interviewing her was terrible.

 

[slinslin]

So Drummond is falling, if there is a basketball god we will somehow end up with the kid and have a reason to be excited about the future, at least until Drummond possibly flops.
