Everyone will get over the disapointment, i was disgusted as well, once we find out philly is targeting fox. I'm anxiously waiting to hear some talk from philly first to confirm, but with simmons, jackson makes no sense for them.

If that leaves us with jackson at 4, thrilled, i had him equal to fultz.

They need to get rid of the lottery. It makes no sense how a 1 seed is now getting the number one pick.

Sixers will take a pg, they desperately need one. I say the Suns get Jackson.

Take Fox and trade Bledsoe for another top 10 pick. The lottery feels rigged for real. Although I could see three PGs going in front of us and Jackson falling in our lap.

It would be a huge win if Fox should slide to the Suns but I do not think this happens. He will probably go #3.

That could very well happen.. Suns have ammo to trade up as well

There is nothing the top 3 team will want. Maybe swap Len for Russell. But Philly has Okafer which is better and Philly gets their PG.

This is just such crap!

This is no consolation, but #4 is better than #5 which I thought might happen.

This is why the Suns needed to lock up the 2nd spot so they could not slide more than #5.


Yeah right. We get first pick of the second tier of players is one way of looking at it.

Arguably Boston was going to get the first pick, BUT why do we drop and not them? Or the Lakers, etc!

Can the Suns please never send Devin Booker and a special needs kid to the draft ever again please?

Booker was drafted #13 which is generally considered an unlucky number.

Special needs kids are obviously unlucky in general.

Yeah...they need a system where the Suns don't get hosed every year...it's a conspiracy.

I'm actually OK with this. No temptation to take Ball (don't want to deal with his crazy father). Would be happy with Jackson, Fox, or Tatum.

I would take Jackson, but I don't think we are going to get him. Sliding to four would have been OK if the Lakers lost their picks, LMAO!

If we hadn't tanked and Lakers won five of their last 6, we would be #2.. the basketball gods frowned upon the tank

This will be four years in a row that the Sixers have a top-3 pick, and the third year in a row that the Lakers get to pick #2.

Honestly I thought that very thing. Ball and his daddy are too much of a gamble. I'd rather take Fox.

I gotta say it again, sliding to four would have been OK if the Lakers had slid to 5 or 6, and lost their pick this year, and the Orlando pick, too! :rolleyes:

Not only that but 2nd year in a row the Lakers would have lost their pick if they lost the lotto.

I've never been a rigged person, but I am now.

Screw THIS keague.
