    agreed…Suns are a well rounded team with multiple ways to attack the defense and multiple guys that can at least do something other than spot up three

    Cade can play multiple positions, playmake, score, shoot, post up, and has high BBIQ…he might not ever be a great defender, but he at least has length with his 7’1 wingspan

    i always care
    that's why we're fans

    Trevor Ariza was irrelevant. It was clear as the 0 for 12 playoff performance.
    Chris Paul tells me everyday that State Farm is the best insurance, but Allstate has been far superior.

    Fair points, but there's a lot more scenarios to the draft than to trades. With every single pick, there's probably dozens of scenarios that Stone will have to decide on within a few minutes. A lot more nerves will come to play.

    Nobody has said Green is a sure thing - even the most devout fan. Injecting superlatives and hyperbole only further fuels the division IMO. Ben McLemore was on the best college team in the nation that year and benefitted from the spotlight. He was docked for being passive in his draft bio on "negative" traits and guess what? That pesky observation is what has doomed his NBA career. Most of the 2013 NBA draft flamed out other than who Giannis and Gobert? Comparing Jalen Green to Ben Mclemore is just mudslinging. I do not want to see the word "passive" when alluding to a top 3 pick.

    Sigh. I really, REALLY wish Jalen Green would have teamed up with Penny Hardaway in Memphis.

    If there was a re-draft Luka wouldn't slip to 5. He was not by any means a sure thing, IMO.

    Cade or Green I’m good either way.

    Hopefully Stone is not a Mobleymobster.

    Yeah, and i am actually not that high on Hayes... even though a LOT of people were last year.
    And obviously when you're that bad, it doesn't matter who you have, take the guy you like the best.
    Just seems like strange to add Suggs when they just took Hayes.

    I like Suggs a lot, too.

    It's funny that this would be a good draft to have the top 4 picks all with one team magically drafting it. You could draft 4/5th of your future starting lineup lol.

    Had a dream the other night where we got him and he instantly became a star and the franchise was saved.

    Yes, I understand where you're coming from. No one knows for sure about anyone. No need to say sorry at all. We're all here for the Houston Rockets.

    Doesn’t really matter what the Rockets like or want since they aren’t picking first. The only thing that matters is Detroit’s willingness to trade the #1 pick or not take Cade. Both of those things seem HIGHLY unlikely.

    Hopefully it happens. I think the team is set up perfectly to do very well.

    I'm reading the Pistons reddit and they're asking for #2 and 5 additional FRP.
    I don't even know what to say.


    Poverty franchise, poverty fanbase.

    I could see why you would think this, but to be clear the 2018 Rockets would absolutely demolish this Suns team, IMO.

    Imagine if they pass on Cunningham because he doesn't make his bed.

    Ugh. No, not really. Atleast not me.

    I'm not delusional.

    People are acting like Cade is 3 tiers above the other top 4 guys. He just isn't.
