RE: If your team is going to lose in record setting fashion, at least look good doing it!
It s the worst loss in franchise history...
Do you honestly think the solution to all the Sun’s problems is drafting another child basketball player? I just do not understand why the draft get’s so over emphasized. As if Luka Skywalker or whoever the hell he is will just make the Sun’s a championship contender by his mere presence on the team. Personally, I couldn’t care less if Smooka Luka, or whoever the hell he is gets drafted by the Sun’s. The Sun’s are going to suck, no matter who they draft, until they field a team with an average age above 22. Drafting another child does not move the age meter in the right direction.
Good catch! I do think it is a solution yes. It's no guarantee of course, but nothing really is. Talent trumps just about everything else in the NBA. If it doesn't all gel together, you can flip it for other assets that may gel together. However, if you don't have talent, you don't have anything.
Your point about age is a good one. I think the plan is to keep these guys together and grow them all together, so a few years from now the team will be mostly the same core pieces but they won't be under 22 anymore.
At the point the hope is that they have learned how to win. Personally I think if the suns had gotten Lonzo Ball this year it would have made a big difference in the win/loss column. Bledsoe is a good player but he doesn't make anyone around him better.
The suns have scorers... they just need someone to set them up. If they find the right point guard I think this team turns around in a hurry.
