In the dunk contest there was 100 missed dunks with another nobody winning, get the stars in the dunk contest please, there seemed to be a lid on the basket in 3 point contest and the all star game just sucked. The only good part was when Durant threw the oop to Westbrook. I saw something and it said the nba should add a 1 on 1 tourney, 8 players, during all star break and tourney has all stars. Also what did u guys think bout Demarcus cousins trade

Suns have much more assets than the Pels do, but I read that the Kings didn't want Knight and the Suns didn't want to trade Bender.

I just think he's a cancer...which is why New Orleans probably got him cheap. Plus, I hear his agents were refusing to sign a long term deal with the new club. Steve

Then in second round they draft Isaiah Thomas in the second round who turns out to be a star, but they trade him cause they don't want to pay him, a guy who can put up 30 points, and replace him with mediocre Darren Collison, the next year they draft Thomas Robinson with the 5th in 2012, and they let Damian Lillard, Harrison Barnes, Terrence Ross, Andre Drummond, John Henson, and Austin Rivers pass. In 2013 the draft Ben Mclemore with 8th pick and don't draft CJ McCollum, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Carter-Williams, Steven Adams, Dennis Schroder, a oh yeah and some guys whos on the bucks right who is called the GREEK FREAK. In 2014 they draft Nik Staukas with the 8th pick, then trade him midway through the year but the pass on Elfrid Payton, Doug McDermott, and Zach Lavine. In 2015 they draft Willie Calluey-Stein with the 6th pick who can only play center and they already have one and they pass on Emmanuel Mudiay, Stanley Johnson, Justise Winslow, Myles Turner, and Devin Booker. Then in 2016 they draft Marquess Chris and immediately trade him for nothing. So the kings have only drafted at best reserves, while passing on players who will be stars, or if they managed to draft a star, the screwed it up. So some potential lineups if they dont screw up: Isaiah Thomas Damian Lillard Greed Freak Boogie Hassan Whiteside This could have been very possible if u read above Also with this latest trade, the first round pick was a top 3 protected pick so if the pelicans dont get in playoffs and luck out in lottery and get top 3, the pick goes to the pelicans, so at best the kings are getting a 14th pick. Go check out Mike Korzemba on utube guys he made an entire video on it, just type in Mike Korzemba, click on his channel and it will be right there

Kings front office is just as stupid as the Suns in regards to trades. The Suns trade Isaiah Thomas and shipped the 2nd pick of the 2016 draft for Knight, which has a been a huge disappointment. Probably the only trade I like that McDonough did was trading the 13th, 28th and Bojan Bogdanovic for Marquese Chriss on draft night. As for the 2017 trade deadline, Phoenix was stupid once again. They traded PJ Tucker for two second rounders and Jared Sullinger. We also traded for Mike Scott and we gave Atlanta some cash. Phoenix ended up waiving both Sullinger and Scott and kept the picks. In my opinion, we should've just traded Knight instead of Tucker.

Suns could've drafted Kahwi Leonard or Jimmy Butler. 2012- Kendall Marshall with the 13th pick. We could've drafted Evan Fournier, but it was a weak draft class in my opinion. 2013- Alex Len with the 5th pick. We could've drafted the Greek Freak or Rudy Gobert. 2014- TJ Warren with the 14th pick, Tyler Ennis with the 18th pick and Bogdan Bogdanovic with the 27th pick. We drafted Alec Brown with the 50th pick. We could've drafted Rodney Hood instead of Tyler Ennis. 2015- Devin Booker. I'm really happy with this pick. We also drafted Andrew Harrison, but then we traded him to Memphis. 2016- Dragan Bender with the 4th pick, Georgios Papagiannis with the 13th pick, Skal Labissière with the 27th pick and Tyler Ulis with the 34th pick. We got Marquese Chriss from the Kings by trading Papagiannis, Labissiere, and Bogan Bogdanovic from the 2014 draft. In the 2013 offseason, Suns got Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler from the Clippers. We traded Butler for Miles Plumlee and we got Gerald Green. If we didn't trade IT for Knight and gave up the 2016 2nd pick, we could've had Brandon Ingram. Imagine a starting lineup of Bledsoe, Booker/Hood, Leonard, Greek Freak, and Gobert. We would a really good team and made the playoffs.
