never gets old

I still call it America West

 

[BC867]

so, does Sarver just have atrocious taste in hiring these designers over the years or is he too cheap to pay for a good one? ALL of these uniforms have just been atrocious over the years.

I know we're not supposed to introduce politics into a sports board, so I'm not going to.

 

[Mainstreet]

The message from Suns and Mercury players is to vote!

Rumor: Golden State interested in Suns’ Kelly Oubre Jr.

Enter the Golden State Warriors, who have interest in Oubre, something ESPN’s Nick Friedell talked about on “The Jump” (hat tip Bleacher Report).

Sounds like a made up rumor with GS.

It's a persistent rumor that won't go away, Oubre for #2.

This rumor does not include the Suns #10 pick which makes it more attractive for the Suns and saves Sarver money.

Because from what I understand it’s very real. They just brought it up on the solar panel and Espo was saying it’s a real rumor, but thinks it will end up being a 3 team deal that’s much bigger

If the Suns can get #2 and keep #10 while losing about $15 million in salary that's something I can see the Suns doing because of the money factor.

Now if it expanded to a three team trade the Suns might be trying to get a player and a pick.

That I could potentially get behind, depending on who they select at #2 and #10, and depending on what they do in free agency, though I always cringe when a deal is made that saves Sarver money, as I fear that the deal is motivated by money and that we are returning to the days of assets being sold off to put money in Sarver's pocket...

I need to see what the deal looks like as well.

If the Suns are intent on trading Oubre this might yield a decent return. It also shows the value of Oubre if the Warriors to do it.

Oubre straight up for #2, draft Toppin or the best PG in the draft, go BPA at 10 and sign Serge Ibaka and I think we might be looking at a solid playoff team next year while still cultivating young talent that lead to the Suns rising to contender status in a couple years (if those pics pan out and Booker doesn’t do us dirty and figure out a way to end up on the Lakers).

I still think Sarver could reclaim some fan capital if he at least brought back the same music for the intro video.

It would certainly help. I have Sirius and Eye In The Sky in my music downloads from The Alan Parsons Project.

As a matter of fact Sirius is playing right now. Go Suns!

Agreed, and I could get behind this. My fear is that it ends up being Haliburton at #2, Bane at #10 and no free agent signing.

The Suns could also could trade down from #2 or #10 and pick up another pick if they really want Bane or Riller.

Do we really want three rookies in the rotation for a team that really needs to make the playoffs this coming season, though?

If such a trade were made for #2, at least the Suns would be getting something in return not that I agree with the strategy.

If one player can start at power forward, maybe.

no we don’t even want 2 rookies. It’s time to move forward and do something

 

[Mainstreet]

I agree it's time to move forward but it's a 15 man roster not to mention the two-way spots.

A couple of rookies plus a key free agent would help. Rookies are cheap talent.

You need rookies if you are going to sign a max or large contract!

It's a way to add talent and cheaper contracts always help.

 

[Proximo]

So if we got the #2, who are we picking - Ball?

I admit that is a deal we have to seriously consider, but whoever we pick at 2 is going to have a big contract for a rookie. Is there even somebody at 2 you can feel confident is worth 9+ million a year?

I do that deal without hesitation.

Turn #2 and #10 to Toppin and Haliburton. Maybe trade down a few slots for Toppin while trading up a few for Haliburton. To me both those players are low risk types. They are not swing for the fences superstars, but they will have very productive NBA careers and could easily be solid starters. That is what this team needs.
