At pick 4, they are likely to lose out on Kris Dunn who has been rumored to be a target.

Could we trade Pick 3/16 for Pick 4/13? Pick 16 is just out of reach of some of the sliding prospects we might covet (Jakob Poeltl, Dejounte Murray, etc.).

Small move but one that improves our likelihood of landing who we want at pick 4 and and pick 13 vs. picking best player available at pick 16.

This could make sense for both teams if Pheonix is set on Dunn and Danny is happy to keep him but also really likes someone at #4.

Seems an odd fit in PHX, who has Bledsoe and Knight already.

If we know for sure the Suns want Dunn, pick Dunn and trade it after the pick is made. This way we can take whoever Danny really wants at 4 and get the 13 as well. Maybe if they want him bad enough, 13 without giving the 16 and than we combine 13 and 16 and maybe move up a few slots if possible and no Jordan is around making the decisions.

I like it. I like it a lot. It's probably contingent upon Phoenix moving Knight or Bledsoe first.

Phoenix is rumored to be dangling both Bledsoe and Knight.

BTW, Dejounte Murray is a big time sleeper in this draft. I wouldn't mind at all if we grabbed him at pick #13/16 if the likes of Poeltl aren't available.

Why do the Suns even want Dunn if they have Bledsoe and knight.  Did they not learn their lesson when they had 8 point guards a couple years ago ?

trade one for Noel/okafor.  Win/win.

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress  Market for Nerlens Noel seems to be far overstated by some. More likely he fetches a late lottery pick in a trade as opposed to top-5 pick.

That is good news. Now all Danny has to do is find a way to trade up from 16.

It would be awesome to get Noel and keep the #3 pick.
