As a Suns fan, just want thoughts on the upcoming draft, we are currently projected to be 4th/ 5th pick, if we end up with that pick, would you either
1) Currently stick their and draft one of the stud PGs (best available)
2) Try to move up and select a particular stud PG
3) Draft another position SG/ SF/ PF/ C and keep Bledsoe as our starting PG

I think an option four is warranted. Try to trade Bledsoe to open up the PG spot for one of the young PG's.
I like Bledsoe, but the Suns are not competitive currently, and though he's only 27 right now, a younger asset (s) for a building Suns team may be the way to go.

I'd keep Bledsoe he is still young enough to build around, and the only glaring future weakness on that roster is the SF spot which can be filled at 4/ 5 with either Jackson or Taytum

IMO. Bledsoe would be a great 6th man. He can fill a stat sheet and can be like a "shock trooper"off the bench. He's not a "real" PG. and, that is what the Suns really need. Now, if Bledsoe keeps playing at the high level he is currently, his trade value before the Draft will be pretty high. Move Knight. then. we'll see.

If I'm the suns I look to making drastic changes.
First I'm trading knight for a big man or future draft pick.
Second I like Bledsoe booker but nothing else on the roster screams keeper to me. Even chriss and bender could be had. I might consider a deal where I trade knight my first this year and bender or chriss for a very good to great player. Cousins maybe had for that assuming the Celtics don't wake up and make a deal for him.
Then in the off season I'll sign a star.
Bledsoe booker, star signing, bender or chriss ( whoever is left) and cousins.
I think that be a dream offseason for the suns.

Random question but wondering what's everyone favourite NBA 2K My Career? 14, 15, 16 or 17?

I like 15. I think the movie-esque storylines they've tried to develop in the most recent editions is a bit much and pretty pointless as its a linear story and you have no way to impact the outcomes. I understand partially why they did it (in an effort to improve park) but I'm also not a fan of the new leveling system and the archetypes where you can't increase specific stats but only classes of stats and there are arbitrary caps. It limits uniqueness of customization and everyone just goes after cheesy 7ft 3 outside centers and things like that.

Think the trade is possible, I like Chandler as a veteran, think the Suns should keep him around for the young guns to learn from.
08 Feb 2017 08:04:05
Butler would only get in the way of Booker development, the Suns are rebuilding, they trying to get younger not older, they definitely won't give their picks up.
08 Feb 2017 08:01:57
I think Rubio to NYK would be a smart decision regarding off the court aswell, the NY teams have bit of a following in Hispanic followers, look at David Villa in NYCFC.

Booker is un-tradeable, most exciting thing going in the Suns in the last 5 years, trading him would cause big upset within the fan base.
06 Feb 2017 13:34:53
I hope so, I wouldn't complain if the Suns end up with the first pick and draft either Ball or Fultz creating the new splash brothers in Phoenix.
09 Feb 2017 07:56:43
Rumors are CP3 is going to re-sign with the Clippers.
31 Jan 2017 20:35:15
The Bulls like the Knicks are in a bad management situation, the team have too many bad contracts and bad pieces, I would try my best to keep Butler but knowing that they probably going to rebuild this off season and be bad for 2 seasons, maybe they can trade for young talent and picks, also going for them is that it's pretty easy to make the playoffs in the East so even if they become a rebuilding team they could easily still make the 7 or 8 seed
Rondo is definitely gone this off-season, if Butler goes then I think Wade will stay, vice versa if Wade goes
Don't think Timberwolves are willing to part with Wiggins or KAT, be more likely Ricky Rubio and maybe Zach LaVine
31 Jan 2017 20:26:53
Any team that are under the salary cap and can afford to take the bad contract, they probably want a draft pick aswell, mostly rebuilding teams that not going to be competitive for a few years aswell

Pelicans ain't trading Anthony Davis
