I doubt it but would still throw out the Bulls' second rounder, Doug McDermott and cash for Josh to see what the Suns' counter would be.

What's wrong with Josh Jackson? One word: Phoenix. But I doubt they give up on him this soon.

Not sure but I doubt it since I couldn't see Kyrie re-signing there. They have become a joke of a franchise and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Had that deal happened though, we might've ended up as the primary beneficiaries if/when Kyrie walked since he is a native to the tri-state area and would be looking for a bigger stage to boost his status. In spite of his play this season under Stephens though, I'm still not a fan of his and would've preferred to pass.

The Sarver years have been Dolan-lite but even so, what they are doing with Josh makes little sense. You would think that they'd at least have him in the G-League if he were not NBA-ready. Them not doing so makes me wonder if they are trying to hide him in order to protect his trade value. It might be worth prodding around as an organization because I was a very big fan of Josh in the draft (had him no.2 on my wishlist) due to what I perceived as an ocean of potential.

If we are in the 10-14 range it would be a great trade. We just have to he raises his 3point shooting to .350

I'm sure it would take minimum this year's 1st round pick and 1 of the 2nd round picks. I would consider, although i don't have a lot of faith in him. And to think, a few here wanted to trade KP for a pick to draft him last summer.

A lot of draft guys were saying he is a can't miss prospect. His mental approach to the game was compared to KG by a few guys that are supposed to know that stuff. I think you consider trading for him.

I thought he was considered to have questionable character issues? And had a bit of a reputation in college for just going thru the motions? still, i would take a chance.

He had some kind of outburst with a female athlete where he allegedly damaged her car and threatened her. Some would automatically label him as a bad egg from one incident but I wasn't there, don't know the full details and most certainly won't judge knowing how readily a man is assigned the villian role in any and every incident involving a woman. Aside from that incident, all I've heard about him was stuff about his intelligence, maturity and how respectful he is.

Looking at his numbers and he should be called Osh Ackson. His shooting #s are abysmal and it looks the Sun's want to fix his shot after the season. It's easy for the Jackson, Winslow, Stanley Johnson types to use their ability to create mismatches in college. It becomes harder to do that without a 3 in the pros. Jackson still looks like a good prospect athletically.

They could fix his shot now. He's hardly getting any playing time, which leaves plenty of time to dedicate to the task. They could even send him to the G-league but for some reason don't. Have you ever seen a situation like this before?
