 1. it seems the Suns are willing to trade their nº1 pick so, is it that as talented as Ayton and Doncic are, the Suns feel none of those 2 are the player they want and so they want to do a Danny Ainge move? could it be they feel Ayton is not the defensive presence they need and that Doncic could not mix well with booker or is it they are higher on other players like Porter jr or Bamba?

and if so, what kind of move could they make? would it work a trade that sends their nº1 pick to orlando for Aaron Gordon+nº6 pick, so Phoenix could take there Porter jr, JJJ or Bamba?

2. if Sacramento takes Doncic with the nº2 pick i think they have a problem with Fox, as Doncic could very well play as their SF but they wouldn’t get the best of him, because Doncic is best with the ball in his hands, plus they also have Bogdanovic as 2nd ballhandler so, should SAC trade Fox? would Orlando, Cleveland or NY accept Fox for their pick? if not, would you consider offering the Clippers Fox for their 12th pick or Charlotte for their nº11th?

3. Schroder wants out of Atlanta, and actually that’s good news for the franchise as he’s not a PG for a playoff team so, which way should Atlanta go? should they go full defensive mode with Bamba or full offense with Young? Dark or light side of the force? maybe non of the extremes with Bagley? but then they could be lost in the middle of nowhere as Bagley can’t shoot nor defend…

 I believe it’s a smokescreen from Phoenix just to shake up other teams plans. I highly doubt they will get the Superstar they are looking for at the 1-4-5 position after hearing the interview from their GM at the Combine.

Fox is untouchable, well it appears that way because they will build around him as being their foundation.

No way Atlanta should look to target any point guard in the lottery with all those bigs there. They can address that in the mid to late first or target a bigger name in free agency. As good as Young is, they have to pass up on him.

 If they can trade #1 to Oralndo for Aaron Gordon and #6, they should do it. Mo Bamba the target –

Booker Jackson Gordon Bamba 

Try get Schroder for #16 or Warren

 1. Maybe a smokescreen, maybe not. I see McDonough’s statements as a call for other teams to make offers. It feels like he is waiting for that "make me an offer I can’t refuse" scenario, but until then they are keeping all possibilities open. Afterall, at the end of the day if nothing materializes, they still have the 1st pick.

To answer your inquiry regarding possible trade/s, I still see a swap with Atlanta for the 3rd plus Schroder and future picks would make sense for both teams. Just my personal, fantasy scenario.

2. There are some clouds about Doncic’s decision to stay in the draft. And if that just a matter of not wanting to play in Sacramento, the Kings can very much trade the pick and still come out winners afterall. If they end up picking Doncic, I don’t think it’d be much of a problem for Fox and Bogdanovich. Doncic’s addition would actually make things easier for both of them as they will have someone who can make things happen even without either of them on the floor.

3. I don’t hate Schroder but it was hard watching him this year. He wants to win and maybe it was his frustration showing up. On the usage rate, I think it is understandable as someone has to take charge. He’s probably going to get traded as there is no point keeping an unhappy player.
