The NBA Draft!

Is anyone else as excited for the next 24 hours as i am? (This is slowly devolving into a Suns blog...). The Suns are rumored to be in about, oh, i don't know, 473 different trade possibilities. Most of them involving KG, and some of those might even be feasible.

The most common theme it seems is the Suns attempts to get into the top ten in the draft. Hence their working out of even more lottery players today (UNC's Brandan Wright and FSU's Al Thornton). Most talks are now centering around Charlotte's number 8 pick, with the Celtic's Danny Ainge saying today they are not dealing their number 5 pick.

That news also kills the the three team trade rumors with the T'Wolves, as Minnesota would most certainly be asking for the 5 pick if they were to give up KG to the Suns. However, as the day has gone on, another three team trade rumor has emerged involving the Hawks again. Once again though the Hawks are asking for Amare', and i still don't think the Suns are willing to part with the young big man.

As for me? Well, i say bring on KG. I would hate to lose Amare', but i think in the short-term you give yourself the best possible chance to win the Championship. Amare' is going to be a great player, but i don't even think you hinder the team too much long-term by trading him. You have KG for probably 5 years, which is plenty of time to draft and develop, or through free agency get another great player.

The goal of every professional sports franchise is to win a championship (Well, except for the Cardinals apparently. Oh, and the Clippers.) By getting KG, the Suns give themselves the best possible chance to achieve that goal.
