Down by 2 games to the Lakers, the Suns reach for the NOS: http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/245319/Suns-Shut-Down-Eric-Bledsoe-For-Remainder-Of-Season
With 3 number one picks you should be able to trade up in the draft with picks alone. Get that 2 for 1 blue light special
I understand and like the idea, but.... 1) If it's a deep draft, shouldn't you use all 3 picks? 2) Moving up is a pretty rare thing, doesn't happen often (like once/year, with multiple teams with 3 picks).
At least the other two picks are coming down. Maybe if we combine all of them we can get a top 10 one
Our GM and coach played this perfectly. We "tanked", then gave the Nuggets the "missing piece" for their playoffs aspirations and got their left overs. Just to turn around and re-ignite the Daemons in us. The Blazers have just shown the league exactly how tanking is supposed to be done. Jusuf Nurkic is our first round draft pick for next season. Now, if we could just package the other 3 first round picks we have to move up this draft and select a stud PF or SF, this would be great.
Reality is we still need to hit big with whatever we decide to do with these picks, if we want to take the next step.
No problem in f----- the Tank....now that they are playing better. At the time, they were playing like a joke and needed all the help they could get. Making the #8 seed with a projected 35 wins would have been worthless. Now they are playing at much higher level and more at least like a Playoff team. Will likely still lose in the 1st round but there is a huge difference in how they are playing now compared to before.
Gotta stay on the attack still. We lose to HOU tomorrow, and we're right back with same # of losses as DEN. Not necessarily out of the woods just yet.
