Trading Up In Draft Might Be THE Solution To Suns Problems

Trading Up In Draft Might Be THE Solution To Suns Problems

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] does trading up in the NBA draft fix all the sun’s problems and who knows basketball the best it’s PHX Suns and it starts now MCO what’s up everybody it’s pH andx Sons I’m ASO he saw that’s flexx and that is Gerald gentlemen I’ve been thinking about our trade machine Tuesdays a lot over the last few days and Gerald this is no slight on you because I know you slave over a hot trade machine uh every every week for us but I’ve been thinking does the option of trading up in the draft actually potentially help fix the Suns more than anything else we’ve looked at getting a young Talent under under contractual control that can help now and build for the future uh moving up higher in the draft I mean it definitely can if there’s somebody that they like in particular and that they don’t think is going to fall all the way to number 22 there are a lot of teams in this draft that you look at and they have multiple picks and if you can find a way to entice them and swap there maybe move up a few spots or or move up even further depending on what you’re willing to give up um my thing is you you have to know which guy that you really want and they have to be you have to hit on that pick as well because can’t trade up for a guy that doesn’t come in and contribute for you with this team’s window being what it is and doesn’t grow into something longterm that’s really special so I think if you are trading up you got to know exactly what you’re doing and uh you’ve got to really like that player but isn’t the same thing to be said if you stay at 22 you got to hit on that guy to help you now too I mean your percentages technically should be higher if you get into the top 10 of the draft of hitting on a on a good Prospect versus 22 so yeah if they trade up you’re damn right they better know who they want man yeah I mean it’s it’s if they trade up and you get into top 10 you better not take Jaylen Smith again yeah you know what I mean you got I don’t think he’s draft eligible still you got to know what you’re trading up for you have to mean that there’s not another jayen Smith out there oh I’m sure there is another oh there’s there’s probably about 10 Jaylen smiths in this draft so the chances of you running into another one is high un select Jaylen Smith oh man forward South Dakota State yeah no this this is a tricky draft I I I don’t like this draft at the top so I think trading up in this draft is very risky because I still still think some of the best talent in this draft is going to be later um I will say I I believe the suns are really looking at significantly moving up in this draft which is an interesting Dynamic um but I also think there’s there’s other ways to look at it that you know is there a possibility of trading up in this draft and then maybe using that leverage or that ammunition to do something else later um that could be a possibility too so there’s a lot of options on the table um I know if I would GM with the Phoenix Suns there’s a couple guys that I I would be very comfortable taking in the top 10 you mean you think that there’s a possibility that they would trade up to get into the top 10 draft a player only to turn it around to get somebody different yep interesting that’s a lot of work yeah I mean if you if you can trade up from 22 and maybe move a contract and then get into the top 10 and there’s a team that loves that pick in the top 10 could you potentially trade back and take two it air picks uh for for one and still get one guy that you really like and maybe somebody that uh m a project yeah maybe a project a little more potential so you know could this be a kind of a you know we’re going to sacrifice 22 in a player to potentially be in position to get two picks in this draft and have a better chance of hitting that uh so yeah I believe there’s a lot of things they’re looking at I believe they they are looking to moveing up there’s a possibility to stay where they are and I think they’re intrigued also with the possibility of moving back so I mean I do like the fact that from what I’m hearing no rocks on turn they they’re looking at everything and they’re not rolling anything out which is why you can’t Can’t Ignore in this draft because I believe they could be in position to get one of these guys I would say that the Suns would have a better chance of trading up in the draft if they’re not offering 22 but instead they’re offering 2031 because you would think that somebody that wants to move out of this draft is just not in love with any of the prospects as much um so they’re willing to trade but trading within the same draft probably doesn’t make sense so like I would think that TW that 2031 pick would be more well you know Expendable what if you’re a team that’s around 9 to 12 and you have come to the conclusion that I’ve come to that some of the best players are going to fall to 18 to 24 and you’re saying you know what if you’re willing to give me a player that’s on your roster right now that I like that fits my system and I can still get a guy that I like down the road it’s a win- win for me instead of just sitting at eight and selecting a guy because because I think a lot of GMS in this spot the one thing they don’t want to do which I I can’t stand I I can’t fathom why people think this way but um you hear the word reach all the time and they’re terrified of at eight taking a guy that they love because the draft board has him at 18 like if you love a guy take him um James Jones has no problem doing that James Jones doesn’t and I don’t and I actually that’s a that’s listen if you’re it matters how it ends up playing out mhm cam Johnson was a reach and then if you redo that draft it wasn’t a reach now Jaylen Smith was a miss right but I actually I lean towards the guy that’s willing to do that I don’t like guys that just stick to a board and say well yeah I’m I like this guy more but I I like Saul more but I’m gonna take Gerald because Gerald on all the draft boyss is ranked higher like as a basketb evaluator that [ __ ] bothers me because I’m like yo just take the guy that you think is your guy so I I I agree with that I also think though that if you like you’ve been talking about if you can trade back and still get the guy that you love and maybe pocket an extra asset you like you have to be able to read the room in terms of like do these guys think that he’s as high because if these guys behind me don’t think that this guy is that guy and they’re not interested in him I can get him for later and I can Swindle an extra pick or something out of them so you don’t want to be that team if you’re trading up but you do want to be the team that’s like yeah this guy is a sure thing we know that we have to sacrifice something to get this guy um because we talked about some guys that are probably going to go in the top 10 or the top you know the lottery probably not going to be there when the suns are on the board but if they could find a way to get some of these guys yeah it might be worth it and the other problem is I I I get what you’re saying Flex about you know if a team identifies a player on the Suns that they would like to be able to take in a trade because it makes them instantly a little bit better than relying on a draft pick but the suns are kind of in the similar position where they can’t really sacrifice um players that can contribute at a high level so your window is kind of narrowed to about two or three dudes on this on this roster right now that you don’t feel confident can contribute at a high level that maybe another team might so you’re looking at n or little you’re looking at nerk maybe Royce O’Neal if he gets signed beforehand you can’t trade him though can’t trade Grayson either so like there that’s basically it just those two guys just the usual suspects yeah and so like that’s that’s kind of a um a hope in the clouds for sure i’ deal 20 22 and then the 2031 pick because to me what has everybody said you need to get younger you need to find a cheap talent that can help you but you also have to have an eye to the future if you can get the right guy say you wind up in that 9 to 12 range that you said or even higher whatever and you have a guy that you feel like could be a quality bench player now and grow into a guy that could either be that next Generation to be next to Devin Booker or be an asset that that you can then trade come 2026 to find that next guy when a Kevin Durant’s gone or and a Andor a Bradley Beal’s gone I think that’s the kind of calculated move you can make because you’re not finding that guy in a vet minimum you’re not finding that guy in a trade for naszi or little like this is that’s the calculated risk I think that you can take this offseason that we haven’t really discussed to try to find that talent because you’ve backed yourself into a corner we’ve made that very clear with our veteran minimum Mondays and our trade machine Tuesdays and you brought Matt telman to try to get creative this may be the one loophole in in your CBA second apron is to try to find that guy on a controllable contract that you believe in it’s also this is why when everybody talks about like when we talk about trades and like really the last couple days and last couple weeks every time we’ve talked about trades I swear I see the same comment about oh you’re just going to man you’re just going to leverage the future for right now and blah blah blah I’m like no guys like listen this is the NBA I maybe Devin Booker does but he’s probably the one out of everybody else on that roster eventually these dudes are either going to be gone in free agency or they’re going to be traded like that’s just the reality of the business so you’re G to get back some draft Capital at at a certain point you know if if if the Suns don’t get very far in the playoffs this year you’re looking at you know a couple different scenarios where you might have to trade some some key ass assets right now for draft Capital uh coming up and so I I don’t look at it as every you have to think about these things as draft picks and players they’re all in one category they’re all assets and so whether you have one or the other doesn’t really matter because at some point you’re going to swap one for the other two right and uh it’s just how many can you get that’s the difference as you know you’re not going to get four picks for KD right like those are the things that are going to change um if you if you know as you move forward no and and another thing about this theory of moving up or moving back when I look at this I say if I’m moving up if I’m the Phoenix Suns and the position I am in financially contractually draft pick wise if I’m moving up in this draft to get into that 8 to 12 range um I am not worried about positional fit I’m taking the best player best player on best player not not based on boards just the guy you think is is the guy that’ll become a yes best basketball player and that’s what Sacramento did when they took Tyrese halberton knowing they had dearon Fox there and he turned Tyrese halberton into damont sabonis right that’s what the Philadelphia 76ers did when they took Tyrese Maxi with James Harden right in front of him like sometimes that’s what the Phoenix Suns did when they took Devin Booker with Eric blesso and Brandon Knight in front of him like I don’t get locked into well we need a backup center so we’re going to move up and take a backup center that like take the best basketball player let the cookie crumble basketball has the way of working itself out and if you take a player that necessarily maybe he’s a guard and you’re looking and you’re like I got Devon book and Brad be why would I take this guard well you take that damn guard because that guy’s going to show the potential he has eventually and may put you in a position to go get a better player down the road if you package him in the deal so for my liking if the Suns move up I’m I’m saying go get a go get a B basketball player regardless of position yeah they have needs at in the back court they have needs on the wing they have needs at the center spot so it’s not like you have a specific draft need for this team the needs for this team are everywhere right now true so you can I this is why with this draft especially we’ve talked about this before there are a lot of players that we feel like the best player in this draft probably it might not come from the top 10 it might come from the teens or the 20s or something there’s still going to be role players available that can help you so for me I feel like sitting at 22 you’re in a good spot and if you need to trade up there are a couple of teams that have multiple picks in this draft that you can kind of Target or even if you want to move down like Utah has number 10 but they also have 29 and 32 so like you have some flexibility there depending on how draft Knight is shaking out to get a player that can help you at any position so for me like trading up I worry about attaching that 231 pick unless it like the proof is going to be in the pudding if you do that the guy that you get better be a fixture in your organization for years to come uh because otherwise you just lost a first rounder to move up in a draft that is not as star heavy as most drafts but I also wonder we talked about the coaches yesterday and that they have gone with guys with more college experience some G leag head head coaching maybe that is in part because this is part of the plan we’ll find out I want to say hi to some of the people in the chat we got Leo Eli uh Lucas ogre Ashley seantel thank you all for being here let us know what you think about uh the idea of trading up in the first round we want to hear from you we did get a super chat on the topic of draft from St [ __ ] our favorite there thoughts on Tristan dilva for us here for Phoenix so we’re gonna talk about him more in depth tomorrow because he’s gonna be on my list I know Flex likes him but yes I I like him so we like him but we’ll talk more about him tomorrow there’s a fun thing uh so much I I want to I want to take a second here obviously one of the legends of basketball passed away uh this morning Jerry West the Lakers Legend both on the court and in the front office passed away peacefully today at the age of 86 a Hall of Famer obviously the logo uh in the NBA four 14-time Allstar two-time executive of the year uh what he meant to this game is is immense so I wanted to just take a second to talk a little bit about him I mean again one of the legends of the game one of the he was the logo because I mean that jump shot was was pretty money man it was it was beautiful and so like yeah his his role in basketball was was vast it wasn’t just as a player it was also as an executive uh a mentor to so many players uh you know Kobe has mentioned it Magic’s mentioned it like so it’s it’s sad um you know rest in peace we’ve lost two legends in the last couple weeks man it’s man getting old sucks man it really does yeah listen the word I think is God basketball God this sky is incredible player coach general manager evaluator Talent um I mean I I I just grew up watching him every level of it and and the respect he got across the league was crazy so um yeah man Jay West OG like basketball God Savant is it’s tough yeah I mean he’s he’s accomplished more at multiple levels of the game than I think anyone in NBA history in terms of being a player uh who’s in the Hall of Fame being a part of that Team USA basketball team that’s a part of the Hall of Fame just as that team being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2024 as an executive like he’s he’s been a legend of the game at every level and one of the cool things is that you’re hearing all the stories come out about what a kind person he was on top of that a guy whose ego could have been his as the moon um I saw from one Clippers beat writer that was saying when he got laid off that Jerry West had called him up a few times asking him like what can I do to help you how can I help you get back on the horse just little stories like that are really cool to hear about somebody that was an all-time great at what they did so um rest in peace to one of the Legends I think it’s unfair that in a young generation of basketball players know him probably from that portrayal in winning time which doesn’t sound like it was a fair portrayal necessarily of the overall man I hope I hope that people of a younger generation that don’t know about Jerry West do the research kind of learn a little bit more about his impact on the game in totality and what he really meant to the Lakers becoming that kind of team over the years and what he just meant to the sporting I think that’s probably the I don’t think anybody’s going to think about the the winning time thing because that’s just so dramatic but I do think that most people will associate Jerry West as an executive rather than the player um hell I’m sure if you told like you know when you guys have kids or you went home and told Ro like hey that logo is Jerry West they probably that the first time they ever heard that right so um he was he was awesome man he was a legend it’s it’s too bad that we don’t get to hear stories about how awesome people are until after it’s after they’re gone I know that that’s just kind of the nature of it but man I wish you know we could hear these things beforehand because I know some people they just don’t want to they don’t want to be acknowledged in that way they just want they want to just keep it on the low do their their their thing on in in quiet and in peace and I appreciate that but man you don’t realize how amazing some people are when you have them and sometimes they deserve to be thanked for the work that they do I think I think one of my favorite stories about Jay West was the Kobe story um just him watching Kobe for the first time as a teenager and then after the workout going to the lake of brass and saying y that guy’s going to be one of the greatest Ty of do it like if y’all don’t y’all don’t find a way to get this kid it’s a mistake um stuff stories like that blow my mind because when you have that much basketball in your brain and you could just look at a kid and say man I’m putting my reputation online here for the 17y old kid from low Maran you know Philadelphia M this guy’s going to be great trust me and and it ends up being the way you know playing not the way it did that’s uh like I said it’s it’s it’s it’s like God it’s like basketball God to me so yeah rest in peace man it’s just it’s crazy rest in peace to the logo no easy transition here so we’re not going to try to make one uh we have got just one day until our uh phnx Mercury takeover so if you want to see some great basketball you’re
