Can someone in the know please post a list of what picks the Suns have over the next 5 years? I know that have traded a lot of their picks to get rid of players and it would be nice to know how that breaks down.

I for one am in favor of blowing up this team right now. I am a fan of the Phoenix Suns and not individual players. My only goal is to win a Championship. With that being said, the Suns need to lay out a 5-year plan to try and get back to the top. Item #1 on that list has to be to fire D'Antoni. After that, no one on the roster is safe, well, except Shaq and his untradeable contract. I would lean towards keeping Amare but I would definitely seek out any reasonable deal for Nash, Barbosa, Diaw and Bell. Anyone who looks at this roster as a Championship contender just doesn't know what they are talking about. This team will be a fringe playoff contender next year with Portland and the Clippers improving. I would rather see 20 wins and a shot to rebuild than an 8th seed next year and a Sweep at the hands of the Lakers/NO/Spurs.

2011 : Suns 1st round pick, probably Cavaliers 1st round pick (top 10 protected until 2011) [Rajon Rondo trade], Suns 2nd round pick

The Suns already used the Cavs pick this past year. They sold it for cash.

My bad, that was the pick we used on Rudy Fernandez and sold to Portland.

Thanks for reminding me another smart front office move.

Didn't the Suns pick up a conditional 2nd round pick somewhere during the KT and James Jones trade fiasco. I have never seen a further explanation about this other than it was conditional. Does anyone have any recollection about this?

That's the KT trade.

The Suns picked up a conditionnal second rounder from Seattle. That's the Magic second rounder Seattle got by signing and trading Rashard Lewis to the Magic.

But that pick will eventually go the Heat, as compensation for Stan Van Gundy. The Heat were allowed to swap either their first rounders or their second rounders with the Magic, and for obvious reasons they choose not to swap their first rounders.

Thanks. The Suns are so good with draft picks. They treat them like toilet paper. :rolleyes:

So, wait, the Suns got a "conditional" second-rounder for which the condition is, "You probably won't get this pick"? I'm confused.

haha makes sense, that makes the trade legal without having to spend any money.

Are you referring to the 1st round pick last year?
The one they sold to Portland was the Cavs 1st pick we had last year where we took Fernandez.

They still have the Cavs 2nd round pick for this year as Ollie stated in his post.

Unbelievable, uh ? :D

I can't wait to see what will be these "future considerations" we traded James Jones for.

Actually I messed up the first version of my post (I thought for some reason we still had the Cleveland first rounder). That's fine now since I edited it, but newfan was right by then.
