    You got the Hawks and the Kings backwards.

    Glad to see someone else higher on Trent. He's slid down most mocks and I'm not entirely sure why. There must be something about him we're not privy to. Attitude issues maybe.

    I'd say it's a solid mix of both, but he's a better scorer than a passer. Here's probably his best game last season:

    As far as I know you're the first to ask.

    It went #10 to Philadelphia.

    In related news: all of our draft considerations have now been paid. We now have all our future picks starting in 2019 (although technically the 2nd we have in 2019 isn't ours, we still have a 2019 2nd).

    I'm glad we can finally move on from the Nash trade that has haunted us for years.

    Here is what the Suns ended up "getting"

    2013 #30 - Nemanja Nedovic.
    (Rights traded to Warriors for Malcolm Lee/Archie Goodwin. Lee would be included in a deal that netted them the pick that became Tyler Ennis. Goodwin lasted 3 seasons before signing with the Nets)

    2013 #57 pick - Alex Oriakh
    (Rights used as the obligatory throw-in for Isaiah Thomas, who would be traded to Boston for Marcus Thornton and 2016 #28 pick. Thornton would be let go as a FA. The pick would be included in the deal for Marquesse Chriss)

    2014 #36 pick - Johnny O'Bryant
    (Pick was traded in deal that landed Wes Johnson, Brad Miller, Jerome Dyson and two 2nd round picks (2016 #35 and 2017 #37). Wes Johnson was let go as a FA after 1 year. Miller/Dyson were waived shortly after the trade. The two 2nd rounders were traded mid-season to BOS for Brandan Wright, who was let go as a FA after the season)

    2018 #10 pick - TBD
    (Pick was traded to Sixers in deal that netted them Brandon Knight/Kendall Marshall. Marshall was let go as a FA. Brandon Knight was stupidly signed to a 5 year 70M deal and is now a salary cap albatross)


    The big winner is.... the C Bags.

    They acquired IT from the Suns at a small price, got great production out of him and then sent his hobbled body in the Kyrie deal.The two 2nd rounders they got for Wright. One was used in a deal where they are now owed a future Clippers 1st round pick. The other was Semi Ojeleye, a rotation player for the team right now.

    I'm with you. I hated the trade from the get-go and it had just as much to do with the contract as it did giving up 4 picks. Giving a 3 year deal to player with a history of back issues who would turn 39 midway in the first season was simply ludicrous.

    Of course this trade came only a few months after they gave up 1st round picks in separate deals to salary dump Derek Fisher and Luke Walton, so 2012 wasn't the greatest.

    I'd heard this was a possibility. It's thought he might be keeping himself a secret in order to be intriguing. He's likely to be pretty far behind his peers in terms of polish since he's been out of it for so long.

    agreed, I'd rather we go another route if we're reaching or drafting strictly on potential.

    The Kyle Kuzma of this draft IMO when it comes to versatility. Not saying he's going to be as impactful or have the type of summer league, rookie year as Kyle but you can put him in so many situations out on the floor.

    Kind of a bummer because I wanted to see his combine stats, but I understand completely why he would withdrawal given a promise from a team.

    I would now like to think ox has a dog like Baxter that he discusses with before he posts. That dog is really LTL in spirit.

    Baxter barks trying to tell ox Randle could be beneficial to our team...Ox is like what? No, I don't believe you Baxter, but you are wise my friend.

    Thank you, thank you very much.

    Hmm. I'm not that quick to anoint the green rat. So far he's produced one ring. JW and Red were on a level that no one has come close to. Red had 9. Jerry had 6 with the Lakers technically but the team he put together (Shaq and Kobe) won two more which he had the biggest hand in, then he won two more as team executive with the Warriors. So in my opinion he surpassed Red. Danny Lamege has a huge mountain to climb to be in their rare air. HUGE. This C Bags team hasn't done squat yet. They look good right now but they will most likely get toasted by whoever comes out of the west.
