2015 NBA Draft Thread

There has to be a trade in the works....they have too many PG's.

We've been saying that for two years.

I hope there is something in the works or prepare for small ball... the smaller version.

 

[Phrazbit]

lol, Harrison. He probably has a high ceiling for a 2nd rounder... but I'm sure with a few posters the **** is going to hit the fan.

He certain checks all the boxes for Suns silliness.

Just look at his weaknesses.

John Gambadoro ‏@Gambo987
Harrison to Grizzlies for Jon Lauer

Decent value at this spot. He´s a big shot maker despite all his flaws. A 6-foot-5 Kentucky point guard in the second round? Hard to take issue with that. Reportedly headed to Memphis in a draft-night trade.

 

[Covert Rain]

John Lauer thoughts? I don't think I have seen him play that I can recall. Doesn't appear he gets much playing time. Another potential guy or someone to fill out the bench?

I guess this is the Suns effort to strengthen their frontline.

In case anybody is interested in his D-League stats:

19.5 PPG, 12.3 RPG, 1.8 APG

I guess the team might see some potential if he gets more time? He is not seeing the time right now.

 

[overseascardfan]

Why didn't they just take Christian Wood, he would have been cheaper.

PHX was hell bent on getting a Wisconsin big man on draft day....they succeeded.

 

[CardsFan88]

Well I guess a guy playing good at a position of need in the D-League who might be closer to contributing was better in their eyes then a 2nd round point guard.

I'm intrigued by his size but D-League stats do not mean much.

Maybe a back up to Len? Hopefully, this means we move one of the thug twins. Or perhaps if by an act of God that the Suns are in play for a star, they can move tucker to clear more space.

Sup Main St.? long time!

 

[Mainstreet]

Jon Leuer's salary is a team option for 2015-16 for $1,035,000.

 

[TJ]

Would've rather taken Vince Hunter or Brandon Ashley, but whatever.

 

[Mainstreet]

Welcome back. Now the Suns need to persuade Amare to return to the Suns.

 

[overseascardfan]

Non PHX related but it looks like POR is stockpiling young big men. POR has traded RHJ and Steve Blake to BKY for Mason Plumlee and Pat Connaughton. POR just acquired Noah Vonleh from CHA yesterday.

Ashley would have been intriguing and available at #44.

Thanks. Yep let's get Stat and his one good knee back. I am getting tired of watching Wheezy running around AWA, I want to see some dunks.

Gambo was floating trading for Frye, not too excited about that.

Some teams just know how to get better and Portland is one of them. Getting Mason Plumlee was a steal. Pat Connaughton was a target for the Suns in the draft and Noah Vonleh is a young talent.

And the Suns get Jon Leuer. I hope the Suns have an ace or two they haven't played but I'm not holding my breath.

Aldridge told them he's leaving. I don't know if it's been posted, but I found it on cbssports during the draft...

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...idge-has-told-the-blazers-hes-not-coming-back

according to the Columbian's Erik Gundersen.

A Western Conference executive with knowledge of the Aldridge pursuit has told The Columbian that the free-agent has already informed the Blazers that he will not return to the Northwest.

…

Another league executive told The Columbian on Wednesday that the trade of Batum looked like "a rebuilding move," and league sources say that the Blazers are "not done" dealing.

…

Sources have also said that the [Nicolas] Batum trade could be a cap-saving move in order to pay swingman Wesley Matthews or to pursue Cleveland free-agent forward Kevin Love in the event Aldridge leaves.

I so agree, say no to Frye. However, I would like to have Amare back. He represents a better time and he can still play.

 

[Mainstreet]

So the Suns intend to keep Jon Leuer on their roster.
