NBA draft picks trade rumors

[Sunburn]

Me too but seriously I'm tired of worrying about the money part. One day you'll read about the teams financial problems then a few months later Forbes will report that they made a gazillion dollars.

I don't care how much it costs. I just want a good young team. If they make a trade like this then that tells me they can afford it.

I'm not worried about Sarver's pockets. I couldn't care less if he made another dollar the rest of his life. I'm worried about roster flexibility around the time we're expecting to ascend in competitiveness.

Yeah, it's a tuff call. Some teams have made huge strides by taking on salary in these kinds of trades. Others have got themselves into cap hell.

You'd think the Suns would be ok given the fact that were BELOW the min cap last year.

If true, so much for the 76ers not wanting to draft a PG.

Still a good chance PGs go 1,2 and 3.

How do you figure?

Fultz, Ball and Fox. I think Fox is right there with the other two PGs if a team wants to go in that direction.

If the trade goes through the Celts are picking 3rd and will likely pick Jackson or Tatum depending on what LA does.

I think it's more likely only one PG is taken top 3.

Could be but the Celtics drafted Jaylen Brown in last year's draft.

I'm still thinking the top three players in the draft are PGs.

How do you figure that? Right now, there is no real reason to think the Lakers won't select Ball at #2, regardless of all the "reports".

They also have IT, Smart, and Bradley.

What I was saying is I think Fultz, Jackson, Tatum is more likely than Fultz, Ball, Fox.

Of course, after I write the above, I find this:

If I'm the Celtics and the Lakers offered me that, I would jump all over it.

I'm still liking Fox a lot.

Who knows, maybe they draft Fox for another team, e.g., Kings, Magic and trade down again. LOL

I think you had a similar trade-down idea for the Suns but I'm inserting the Celtics.

The tradition of putting on a team hat is going to be killed this year.

There may be several in hand.

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42

Boston would create $1.4m in cap space in 17-18 for swapping #1 for #3. #1 pick= $7.0m
#3 pick= $5.6m

Why can't the Suns be in the #1 spot just once.

The Celtics and the Lakers trading? What's happening to the NBA. Red Auerbach is probably rolling over in his grave.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Wow. So The Magic Johnson really wants Fultz, and McD would draft Ball #1 if he could. Ainge wants Tatum in the worst way and BC would be happy with Monk, but maybe not at 3.

Everyone can have what they want if they can all just get along! Go back to the '60's dude. Make love not war!

Isn't there some way we could throw Bledsoe and our number 4 into that mix and come out with Ball and Jackson?

Auerbach: I just traded Rick Robbie for Dennis Johnson.

Reporter: What else did you have to give em?

Red: Nothin

Long silence

Everybody busts up laughing themselves silly

Old news, but it still bothers me the Suns cannot get the first pick in the draft just once.

I feel your pain. It is too bad that luck hasn't been kind to the Suns with ping pong balls/coin flip.

 

[pokerface]

I don't know guys...still seems like a four player draft and we are at #4. We get Jackson, Ball, or Fox no matter what. Compared to what we got previously with Bender & Len (at #4 & #5) that don't seem too shabby.

Rick Robbie is right. We were robbed. The worst deal in Suns history.

But something interesting came out of it. With the lightweight Alvan Adams playing Center, our starting Power Forward was our de facto Center.

With Robey moving into the PF spot, we actually had a Center on the floor. A 3rd string Center, but a Center. Which means we were still robbed.

Really? I think Julius Randle will be a nice player, but that's all.

I think they can get more for that pick.
