Okafor is out for most of the season and their bigs other than Nene (who will miss 15-30 games again this year) are Seraphin, Booker, and Vesely.
Good trade for the Wizards, Suns don't give a fuck which is probably the right move even if it means Alex Len playing until he fouls out (since that will lead to Randle probably)

I like the trade for Phoenix. They could have four firsts in next year's draft now.

Wall's first worthwhile big man.
This should be interesting.

Seems like a good trade for both sides.
Suns will get a decent draft pick and the Wizards are desperate to try to gain some respectability. Seems like a smart play for the long haul, hard to get actual marquee free agents to sign with you if you suck - which was going to be the case playing the stiffs they had in the rotation.

Yes, and in an abnormally strong draft class.
They literally don't have an offensive system and never have.

I could see us making a run at the bought out Emeka if we move Asik. He's from Houston.

There's only so much tanking that Charlotte and D.C. can do. At one point they gotta show the fanbase that they're serious about winning.
wait
what?
the same teams that just overpaid for al jefferson and traded away useless okafor?
Get rid of gortat, manage to give Len all that time at the 5 that he wants and to develop? and acquire a first and an expiring?
Suns are setting themselves up to have so much cap space the next few seasons, and more and more picks.
I'd like to know the full details on the pick though, like how protected it is in 2015 etc.
McDonough seems to be doing a pretty solid job on this rebuild working with what he had.
I'd be sad to see Dragic go, but there seems to be more weight to him being traded. Which, IMO, is the wrong player to trade, I'd rather have seen Bledsoe traded as I don't think he's as skilled as Dragic.
I wonder what the Jazz would give up for Dragic though. They need a good point, and he can also shoot really well from 3 giving them some spacing...
Also, it gives the suns 4 first round picks this year
Their own
Minnesota: top 13 protected
Indiana: top 14 protected
Wizzards: top 12 protected.
And then 2015 they have
Own
lakers: top 5 protected.

Top 10 from 2015-2019 and then unprotected.

i can't believe kendall marshall was a lotto pick
Hopefully the Bobcats trade for him or sign him when he's waived

Mitch should have traded Pau for that Wizards package.

It had a ton of guys who showed immediately that they had no chance in the NBA, but the top of that draft is great if Drummond and Henson develop good defensive awareness. There's already Davis and Beal showing incredible potential.
I don't think drummon and Henson will be that good personally.
Davis and beal are though, yeah. and MKG and Lillard are good, and so is barnes. But i think everyone after Barnes will be fairly bad.
Scroll up bruh.

Good trade.
We're a swim or sink type team. Never been the type to be in the dead zone between lottery and the 8th seed, so we're either making the playoffs or likely getting our pick back. It's a gamble that i think pays off. This is the type of year where you can go up a few spots in the draft just by losing one or two games, so if we're sitting around that 14th pick range towards the end of the season, it won't take much to tank one or two games to keep the pick.

I think they'll need his salary on the books to make minimum, and just let him expire naturally. Could happen though, depends on whether or not the suns have minimum number of players too.
i dont mind this trade when I saw that the wizards center got injured I knew McD would be on the phone.
Pretty much the best I could hope for we got rid of brown, marshall, and had to give up gortat but we get picks back so im satisfied. Great tank move too.
It could happen or they might try and fix him up and get some value. Our medical staff needed a injured vet to work on this season so its even better when you put that into account.
Hide your wife hide your kids cause McD is taking everyones 2014 picks.

They must be pretty confident that Pau hurts himself sooner rather than later. Risky move.

It worked great for them on the Curry contract. If Bogut can put in a healthy season like Curry did, then it will have saved them probably another $15 million.

Utes getting paid!
That is one terrible contract if he gets injured again.

It could also cost them Klay when he's up after next year.

Maybe they can trade Klay for Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb.
