They tanked while we had a mini winning streak and we still got a better draft pick. I love it. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Suns always do best at what they do....failing...
They failed to win the NBA championship in 1993.
They failed to make the NBA Finals with a loaded team consisting of Nash, Amare, etc with MDA at the helm.
They failed to get a top 3 pick in 2017.
Obviously I would have loved if Celtics were the team that dropped out of the top 3, but it is also satisfying to see Suns drop. They went into uber tank mode. And they got what they wanted they dropped all the way to the bottom 2 while Lakers played some good basketball to end the season. It didn't matter though
I don't like to gloat at other teams misfortunes but reading this is deeply satisfying. They're a (bleep) organization along with the 76ers.
Still they got that 70 pt game though. That'll keep 'em warm as they switch between the lottery and first round exits for the next decade behind the new Gilbert Arenas with less talent.
funny comments for a team that only has some mvp awards to show for their efforts.
Since the mvp is the MOST rigged prize ever.
Plus they're just salty because the impact of them getting the #4 pick on the lakers overshadows the fact they even got a pick. Laker haters are like that.
Magic - "i dont even know who got that 4th pick" - Yes Magic, you and the rest of the world.
Are 76ers fans pissed about our pick even though they got Sac's 5th?
If they don't trade either pick, there's a good chance that they land two of Fox, Tatum and/or Monk - possibly even Jackson if someone else goes early. Their team is going to be gelling with better talent just when LeBron's hold on the East is fading with his age. Pretty sure they'll survive.. If their fans don't get it - that's on them.
They'll be fine - they still will come away with one of Jackson or Tatum who have just as much upside as Ball and would be better immediate roster fits.
