Like I mentioned, he is a decent piece and a legitimate NBA player (which we are solely in need of). I just hope we have some lottery protection on the first round pick. Also hopefully this is in conjunction with another move that will bring up an athletic PF.
I agree. I hope a pick being involved doesn't mean Blake is involved but I'm fairly certain his name would have led the tweet that Woj sent out.
Looking at Detroits bigs, they also have Markieff Morris, which isn't even worth joking about, Thon Maker, who is a joke, and Christian Wood. I like Wood, he's been a solid backup PF for the Pistons, averaging 10.1 ppg with 5.3 rpg in 17.3 minutes a night. He's also shooting 57% from the field and is 6'10". If we got Kennard and Wood for our 1st, with top 5 protection, I could live with that.

Of course we need to make salaries work, Kaminsky and Okobo for Kennard and Wood works capwise. Kaminsky has a team option for year 2, so he's essentially an expiring contract. Okobo would be included to make it work with the number of players involved since the Suns have 15 under contract already.
If they traded Baynes in that deal instead of Frank then they're selling way too low on him. I don't think the Clippers have a 1st to part with for Baynes but I think the Suns can get a 1st from a contender for him. If that pick was flipped in the Detroit deal, that would be much better. Maybe even tying it to the protection, where if the Suns pick didn't convey then Detroit gets that pick plus a future 2nd or something. I'm just spitballing here.
