They will draft Ayton. I also think they will package that second first round pick with Marquis Christ and try and move up

Wow I hope Sarver's mouth piece is right. Sarver is the kind of person that would promise Silver he'd take Luka if we got 1 and he even hired the serbian coach from the Jazz to show he "would". But then he pulls a Sarver and takes the best prospect to ever come from his Alma mater. Please let Gambo be right. This is the last chance I'm giving the Sun's.

Don't fuck this up Sun's take Ayton he graduated hs in AZ and went to college here, it sells it self. Best storyline to make money and most talented player in draft at a position of need. He's a generational talent at C. His ceiling is though the roof.

Here's a fun question and I'm asking you because you're the zen master of this shit, what would it take for Vlade to give us the 2nd pick? Would 16, 31, next year's 1st, Milwaukee and/or future Miami pick be enough? Now if the Kings were run by anything competent I wouldn't even dare ask this question, but yeah it's Vlade, so do you think it's possible Phx can make a play at the 2nd pick and we walk out of here with Deandre and Luka?

Haven't watched a full Suns game in years. I was a religious follower during the 80's and 90's. Might have to tune in now.

He Sucks. He is annoying. He is dumb. Same can be said for everyone on Arizona Sports. But as JMJ said, he is the mouthpiece between the Suns and Cardinals and sometimes the D-Backs and the valley sports fans. If he is 100% on this, I trust that the pick is in and that it is Ayton and that is why the GM was so excited, because he got his guy, Ayton

Have not actively followed the Suns for almost 10 years after them being my 2nd bball love (after UA) since the mid 80s. Ayton in Phx would get me to give them another shot...

If I'm the Suns, I'd be trying to get in the 7th or 8th spot for Sexton. They'd have to pay too much for #2 and Sexton, Booker, Jackson, Chriss/Bender and Ayton is a really good, young starting lineup. I'm a Sexton fan, but I don't see a big enough difference between Doncic and Sexton to justify what it would take.

They might realistically get Sexton for Bender/Chriss and 16. Add 31 and I think they can do it.

Really happy for the suns and Ayton but man, I just feel this whole NBS lottery pick is anything but a lottery. Too much coincidence over the last several years. Oh well, go Ayton!!!! Cats will now have a #1. He couldn't get Miller to the FF but he got us something we have never had

1580 (By far the best all around station in Phoenix and the station with the Wildcat Country show which had U of A Athletics employees call out some of our fans which was amazing) just had the Suns rep for the lottery on and after hearing his experience, it is 100% clean.

Yeah I was just a little drunk and going off the the Doncic didn't want to play for Sacramento stuff when I brought that up. A more realistic option is for the Suns to move up from 16 and getting somebody else they really like. I'm not sure if Sexton is the guy I want next to Booker, but I wouldn't hate it either. As far as I'm concerned 16, 31, one of Bender/Chriss, TJ Warren, Bucks pick, Heat pick are all on the table for moving up for the right guy. If we stay at 16 though Chandler Hutchinson is my guy and I pray that Jalen Brunson is there at 31.

The perfect U of A fan storm would be to flip Chriss or Bender maybe Warren and the 16 to Orlando in a sign and trade for Aaron Gordon.

The Suns have two holes if they pick Ayton, PG and PF. Consolidating their remaining assets for one would be good for them.

Twitter and other web forums. Primarily the rhetoric is that Ayton can't defend, has a low basketball IQ, and are centers even important in today's NBA. The first two are so dumb.

I’m right there.

#1/#16 on 2018
Bucks Future 1st
Heat Future 1st
Warren
Dudley

For

Towns

Then draft Brunson with #31/2nds (if needed to trade up)

Then, waive/stretch Chandler, making up roughly 45 million in CAP.

Max offer Capela
MLE Exum

PG: Knight, Exum, Brunson
SG: Booker, Exum
SF: Jackson, Daniels
PF: KAT, Chriss
C: Capela, Bender

That actually looks like something.

The Suns are just throwing out smoke screens in order to hide who they truly want. That way no team can grab that player ahead of them. :lol:
