The Suns just moved past the Nets.

We now have a much better chance of getting a top three pick in this years draft!

Lets hope that Nets can maintain their losing streak before getting too excited about this ;D!

Suns host the Kings for their next game, and Boogie will sit.  If the Nets lose their next two games, this could be wrapped up Monday night.

Too bad Dallas had to get it together and win 6 straight, had they gone 3-3 instead we'd be in position to have two lottery picks.

it would have been nice. but given the level of talent from #10 to #18 or so in this draft, the difference in talent between the 12th and 16th picks is not that telling.

This has been my thought all along with the Dallas pick.

Talent-wise, there is not much difference in what can be expected to come from the 10th pick through maybe as far back as pick 20.  We'll get one of those guys, if we keep the pick.

Projecting who will be the one to come forward from that group and be an all-star, because someone will, has proven to be extremely difficult, even for the people paid to do this.

And I don't think from a trade perspective #12 vs #16 would carry much more in the way of value.

Agreed.  The only detriment is that perhaps having the 12th pick would look a lot better to trade partners if Danny is trying to package that pick with other picks and player to move up in the draft, or trade for an established player.

Nets playing the Pacers today who need a win to avoid The Cavs in the first round.
Good for us.

It's disappointing that the Mavs got hot, but if I had a pick between the 3rd lottery position and #16, or 4th and #12, it's a no brainer. Lottery balls are what we need right now.

Brook Lopez said that Brooklyn management shut him down due to other stars suffering injury in meaningless games, specifically Jrue Holiday. So, hat trip to Jrue on doing us a solid, too.

Here's a Reddit thread that's entertaining. Suns fans have a disdain for celtics fans, I wonder why. Is it because we stole IT4, or is it because we are rooting for them to actually win?https://m.reddit.com/r/suns/comments/4e45xb/twostraight_winslottery_odds_frustration_thread/

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here... I truly believe the Nets will win at least one of their two final home games simply because I don't think they will want to go into the offseason with a very long losing streak, and also because their last two opponents have nothing to play for.

Therefore, we need the Suns to win at least 1 of their last 2 games....

Yea they did.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.
