Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Draft

Well, as much as it pains us, we should start thinking about the draft. If the lottery keeps Atlanta out of the top three, we could get a pick as  high as four (or as low as six).

Any thoughts here? The folks at ESPN.com have us taking Brewer if we get there.

But what if. . .

The Suns trade up for Durant or Odom. Who would we need to package along with a #4 pick to Boston or Memphis or whoever to get a shot at one of the two best rookies in a long, long time.

Marion for KG
What do we in Sun's-ville think of this deal?
 
Solution for Both Teams: Minnesota Trades Kevin Garnett to Pheonix for Shawn Marion, James Jones, Atlanta's lottery pick and one or both of the Suns other first round picks (numbers 24 and 29).

This rumor and speculation has been around for awhile but the stars seem to be aligning towards it.

I personally have mixed feelings. KG, Nash and Amare together? That would be something special for sure. But giving up a high 1st round pick could also be tough to swallow since we would still have salary cap issues and only have KG for a few years.

Its not like you are building a dynasty w/ this move. Its more like the D-backs in 2001. Its a one-shot deal and I don't think Sarver is inclined for that. Jerry C. has been in Phx forever and more than anything wanted for his legacy and city to gets its 1st championship.

Sarver - he's not ever from here. I would think he's more likely to make the moves that would make the team really good over a longer period of time versus going for a short-term Hail Mary for the ring. That's just my read - who knows.

Now, if this deal can get done w/o giving up the ATL pick? That would be something else...

Too much to give
I think something can be worked out for KG, but 3 picks, 2 players? Not going to cut it. The heart of the deal is Marion/Garnett. Suns must obviously give more, but not the ATL pick along with Jones. Maybe just Jones and both other picks? Too bad D'Antoni never played any of the other players so no one knows if they are any good or not.

Just because they didn't play in a game
doesn't mean no one knows if they are any good.  He played Marcus Banks, he stunk.  He played Jalen Rose and he just didn't fit.  He played Pat Burke in game 5 and we all know what happened in that case.  These guys practice every day.  Saying we don't know if they aren't any good or not isn't correct.  It's just the fans who haven't seen them play much.  The coaches see them play every day in practice and scrimmages.

Who is it that you would have liked to have played more?

I meant the GMs on other teams
who you would trade them to who didn't know if they were any good. Rose is a good player who "didn't fit" - but since he has played next to no minutes no other GM will take him.
