Would you do this?
If port offered 6 & 10 for 4 & 39
4= 2034
39 = 446
total 2480
6= 1751
10 =1359
Total =3110
difference 690 around pick 28.
I know its a deep draft but there seems to be a distinct top 4 so would probably say no as we are crying out for silk. If it was done i think it send a message they are looking at the King Boys.
With live picks something like this could happen draft night if one of the SA kids were at 4 and then Port may be desperate enough to make 39 65??

Re: Would you do this?
2 x top 10 picks is very tempting. Port want Rankine or Luckusious it seems. Would be funny if the Suns took both.

Could happen if they are desperate on trade night - the joys of live trading

Re: Would you do this?
Depends who is available at pick 4.
Two picks in the top ten is pretty tempting.

Re: Would you do this?
Agreed. The top 20 runs very deep. We could snag 2 x gun mids. Add them to Clark and Coffield. Unbelievable. Thats 4 x top 10 picks.

Re: Would you do this?
who knows. if the hype is to believed (it rarely is) then no way trade a top four. if it's a normal draft then yes. the best player last year went six.
caveat emptor - we only got two decent players (but in no way future stars) at 7 and 8.
against that we got a shocker with our last number one, and an okay player at number 3. our only star from a top ten pick since goddard was traded for pick 5.
so again i'm back at who knows?

Re: Would you do this?
carlisle was traded for pick 5. our only clear win against the druggies, especially given what we did with the steak knives.

Re: Would you do this?
We had 7 & 8 last year and would not say with any certainty that we nailed a gun. So no from me. We desperately need a quality mid.

Re: Would you do this?
You are right with picks 7 & 8 but give them a chance, they are still kids and it is easier to shine in a good team which helps De Gooey and Higgins. it is a bit harsh on Cam Rayner and Andrew Brayshaw when there teams aren't really helping them out a lot.
I like to wait about 4 - 5 years before I pass judgement.

stephenson the best?
clarke and coffield not near him?
paddy a shocker for a number one?
billings an okay player?
calisle our only star from a top ten pick?
not one of them? i reckon they're all fair calls. and i still have no idea if i'd do the hypothetical trade given our history either way.

Re: Would you do this?
A) I think hunter will be a very good player has poise and does not seem rushed
B) I would trade 4 for the 6 ,10 and 11 or next years first round
See how desperate they are on draft night

Re: Would you do this?
I would do it in a heartbeat. We could very well get the player we are after at pick 6 and then a big upgrade with our second pick. Port may be desperate and offer it up on trade night. Hold tight till then
