If you had a first round pick that was just outside the lottery, would you give it up for Boki, Marcus, and a 2nd rounder?

Beat me to it. Terrible deal for Phoenix, no way they do it.

It’s a new GM but PHO is a small market with a history of valuing money over 1st rounders.

So where do they save/get money in this trade?
Marcus will make <span style="font-family:ARIAL"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%"><span style="font-family:ARIAL"><span style="font-family:Verdana Arial Helvetica sans-serif">$1,262,520 this year.
The 15th pick will make approximately</span></span></span></span> $1.3 million to $1.4 million on the rookie scale AND they take on a signed Boki, who would be a couple million dollars.

Yea, they value money over first rounders, and that point would be valid if we were talking about trading them cash for their pick. But we're not.

Also, another positive about Hickson. He fouled out of 0 games this year, averaging just under 2 PF's per game. He knows how to stay outta foul trouble.

Well this is phoenix a team that consistently gives away decent picks for cash and the like. How long has it been since they have actually used a draft pick lol? Not saying it's a great deal but the suns have shown a tendency to give away picks.

i didnt really follow ucla last season but if hes being compared to monte... omg i love monte ellis... hes so fluid and smooth on the court and lightin fast... but wouldnt it be too small to have harris and westbrook as a 1-2 combo? whos goin to guard a tall SG like a kobe, or a wade? bout an AI.... FROM PHILLY! or even a ray allen...

also to take into consideration lets say we do take westbrook and hes pans out really well and its the last 5 mins of the game and you want your best players in
it would be :

harris
westbrook
carter
jefferson
boone

would that lineup be able to close it out? cuz u have jefferson playin the 4 or even carter playin the 4....

They usually do it to save money and they wouldn't be saving anything in this deal.
