I can almost assuredly be in the minority on this subject, but I think the Suns would be smart to start looking at trying to trade for more draft picks in THIS draft. I think it is much deeper than most. I like several players in this draft and think they could be significant in rebuilding/additions to what we have in a hurry with youth for the future. With that said, There are 7 teams with numerous first round picks and 4 teams have numerous second round picks. Now the question, is who or what could we trade to pick up maybe 1 more 1st round pick and maybe 1 or 2 second round picks.

Cavs - 2 firsts
Wolves - 2 firsts
Jazz - 2 firsts
Wizards - 2 firsts
Bobcats - 2 firsts
Rockets - 2 firsts
Bulls - 2 firsts
Cavs - 2 seconds
Kings - 2 seconds
Clippers - 2 seconds (no 1sts)
Lakers - 4 seconds (no 1sts)

What could the Suns look to trade that other teams might want (that we'd be willing to trade...no Dudley or Gortat IMO)?

Nash
Lopez
Future 1sts/2nds (Suns 2012 1st....Kings 2012 2nd) *Suns 2012 2nd to Hawks in deal for Childress*

Players I really like for the Suns (IMO I'm looking at PG and PF mostly (in order of preference). I think we are set at the 2/3/5):

PG: Irving/Knight/Fredette/Walker/D Morris/R Jackson/Shumpert/McCamey
PF: Williams/Kanter/Biyombo/Vesely/Tyler/Farried/T Thompson/Singleton/Morris twins/Thompkins/J Johnson/Reed

Depending on how many picks they could end up with and where, I'd like to get at least 1 PG and 1 PF from that group. I know some of those bigs are projected as centers, but I think all of the ones I listed have the game or the projection to be very strong at PF next to Gortat IMO.

No I agree with you too.

I think Pietrus combined with Lopez could maybe get an early 20s pick.
