Which is why he's a legit 6'9 and some change.
How do the Suns not pull the trigger already?
Jefferson + #6 (Nash's heir) + #14 (Grant Hill's heir) = a good nucleus going forward

No they're not. A lot of people were saying the exact same thing when Golden State drafted Randolph from LSU, but it was clear during the season,especially during the latter half when Wright was out with an injury, that Randolph is much more athletic & explosive, better ball-handler, better range.Wright is more of a post player. Though they might play the same at the same 4 spot, mind you in Nelson's whacked out line up

Exactly, Randolph is more of a combo forward while Wright is running and finishing big man.Originally Posted by mEasy15

Randolph = LO-like
Wright = Tyson Chandler-like

I only saw Randolph in college. Sorry.
B-Wright will be very good as he continues to mature physically, if Nellie will give him some run. His wingspan is ridiculous, and he can finish

If Kerr is blowing smoke with the STAT trade to the Wiz...
I say Grunfield drafts Curry #5, piss every other "war room" off, and be on the phone all night until a deal is struck that benefits theorganization.

An NBA executive told the Boston Globe that the Timberwolves and Suns are working on a trade that would send Al Jefferson and the Wolves' sixth draft pick to Phoenix in exchange for Amare Stoudemire.

It was an "okay" deal before I saw the draft pick being added.

I am in complete confidence that STAT will come back 100%.
He's done it once already, with a more severe career-threatening injury.
However, that trade only makes sense to me IF the Wolves kept Mayo in last year's draft.
Although Love is very skilled, I don't like him in a lineup with STAT for some reason.

No way they throw in the 6th pick. Maybe the later ones but 6?...NO CHANCE. Put my SN on that.

It is funny especially since Harris doesn't have a bad contract for what he produces. I don't know what it would be all about. Maybe capreasons and they feel Rubio will end up being the better player in the long run with a cheaper deal.

Rubio too sick to play
Kings draft prospect Ricky Rubio, who was supposed to participate in a light workout at the practice facility early Wednesday afternoon, became ill and returned to the downtown hotel where he and his mother, Tona, are staying. Sources say the 18-year-old Spanish star had a 101-degree temperature and was prescribed antibiotics by the Kings team physician. Team officials were holding out hope that Rubio would fee well enough to work out Thursday a.m., because he officially has to end his visit after 48 hours, or about midafternoon. It was unclear whether Rubio planned to visit NBA franchises in Memphis or Oklahoma City, the two clubs that hold NBA Draft picks Nos. 2 and 3. He also could return to Sacramento later in the week.
Damn Sac-town. Already got the boy sick.

Don't get me wrong, Devin Harris is a very good player at a good bargain but do the Grizzlies really want another shoot first, perimeter player

i was thinking the same thing. I'm thinking a third team gets involved and makes it a three-way deal. It so lopsided for minnesota. They'd be morons tolet that go thru. Im still not giving up on the wizards angle. If the package the #5 and either caron or aj, and throwin mike james (contract purposes), thisvery well could go down.

I was thinking about that. There are pros and cons to that type of deal. Harris can also get to the line better than anybody on the Grizz roster. He CAN openthings up for everybody else on the team with his speed and penetration too. I don't know if it would make the team more scary if people can't focus onOJ or Gay because Harris can light it up too. Memphis would actually have a big three if they did this deal though. Then, I would try to throw Conley and picksto Minnesota for Love.
If people wouldn't mind a Mayo / Martin backcourt, they shouldn't mind a Harris / Mayo backcourt. Rubio may end up being better than Harris by the endof his rookie contract, so its kinda hard to dispute how this deal would turn out on both sides at this point. Even if Memphis get Harris, they still needfrontcourt help.
