Suns Offseason Thread (Now Collecting Unwanted Vets, Youth and Return of the Dragon)

[Dissonance]

^Agreed. Hope they got something up their sleeve.




24 hrs away - Henson, Rivers, Lamb, PJIII, my realistic wants at 13. Unless someone maybe unexpected slips.

Do not want. Ross (though I could live w/it if they're all gone), Marshall, Moultrie (don't know much about him though).


Not sure how I'd feel about Leonard or Zeller.

I like that list, and I personally would add Ross to it. I would be thrilled if Drummond is falling and we move up to get our guy. Being aggressive in the draft would be a nice change of pace for the organization.

[chilltown]

Pipe Dreams!


I would REALLY be ok if we ended up taking Perry Jones (doubtful) or Henson, or if Drummond falls snag him... and then trade back into the bottom of the first round and take Tony Wroten (big athletic PG from Washington). I would piss myself.


OR Take Lamb, Rivers, Ross, and trade back into the bottom of the first and take Fab Melo, thus releasing Lopez since Melo is at LEAST Lopez and has potential to actually become that defensive/rebounding beast that someone thought lopez could be.



sigh.. ok I'm done dreaming.. and I'll expect disappointment.

[Hyperion]

I'm ready for us just selling the pick and trading for a future first rounder (lotto protected though) and some burnout from last year's draft that was a top 10 pick

I'm ok with either of these. But instead I'm preparing myself for drafting Sullinger and then doing nothing else.

According to Coro's responses to ?'s on twitter, Suns favor Lamb over Marshall and Ross but not to rule out Marshall (ugh). Ross refusing to workout for us taints him but it may not absolve us from taking him. Also, sounds like we'd take Rivers for sure if he fell but he says he's a top 10 lock.

Unlikely we move up but doesn't rule out us getting another pick somehow.

God****ingdamnit.

lol nice thread title

[chilltown]

smh... I can't tell if I get so frustrated with this team because I am a big fan of them.. or if I am legitimately starting to hate this team for becoming everything that I don't want my team to be.

[chilltown]

When the Kings go to Seattle.. I will be a sonics fan.

Marshall is a pretty good offensive player, but he's not a good athlete and he's going to get lit up by NBA point guards. He really just doesn't guard well. If you were taking him to be a back up that's one thing, but he is going to have really trouble matching up with starting caliber PG's.

Trade Gortat for Drummond and a future pick

Hell if they were hard pressed to take a pg out of shortsightedness.. they would have been better off trading down a long way and taking Tony Wroten. Wroten is going to be a good player whether he plays PG or SG.

Detroit got their wet dream in Drummond. Only we'd deal Drummond for a dumb package like on other end in their position.

Gambo saying Zeller was next on our board. Wow.
