    If Steven A lived in Chicago, everyone would want to be a Bull.

    I hate to go against the almighty statmuse because I use them all of the time to find all sorts of info but the Suns have the 22nd pick in this upcoming draft. I don't know if that will be valuable enough to package with a contract or contracts and change the makeup of their roster but it is one pick that they can trade the rights to.

    Then there's the Stepien Rule, so next year their pick is going to Brooklyn but the year after their going to get the worst of three picks because they owe swap rights and that goes back and forth for until 2031. One year their pick will go to Brooklyn and the next they'll get the lesser valued pick in a swap.

    They definitely don't have any tradeable future firsts though so none of them besides the 22nd in this year's draft can be moved and that one has to be technically selected by the Suns and then have the rights moved to another team.

    "It's like Looney Tunes around here," a Suns source told Hoops Wire. "It's felt unstable since [Mat Ishbia] arrived. He's a good guy and everything, I think, but he's just very involved. Too involved. I know he played (college basketball at Michigan State), but I'd venture to say he has no idea what he's doing when it comes to basketball. Yet he's making a lot of the big decisions."

    Patty Mills got some run. We don't have to hate every Heat player.

    I think Neil Olshey is in Miami. After that Jaylen Brown mega dunk, someone in the crowd was flipping him the bird.

    Drew is an end of bench player. If the Blazers have room and a roster that will allow him to sit then sure.
    Unless they are planning on tanking from the beginning next year? Then that would be fine as well I guess.
