lol I get what you mean but there's just not really any (realistic) avenues to a significant deal.

And any deal the suns might make is going to come right down to the deadline because the suns package is totally a 'I guess that's all we can get' type that the other team will wait to see if anyone beats it.

If Royce O'Neale can be had for whatever combo of Nas Little and 2nds, just do it.

He'd easily be in our top 7 players, we would have his bird rights to re-sign him this offseason. He's a good fit as a versatile 3/4.

I wonder what #35 thinks about Royce...

I agree, I love Royce. I'll take him in a heartbeat. He's just not saving the season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired Gordon Hayward from Charlotte in exchange for Tre Mann and Davis Bertans.

That’s a great move by the Thunder.

Damn and they were already scary before too! But awesome for them.

I imagine thats a standing offer by the suns and the nets are going to delay until the last minute to see if someone throws a 1st at them for Royce.

Phoenix going after Royce is one of the few rumors out there I believe 100%. He makes a ton of sense.

I really like Otto Porters skill set fit but I haven't really paid any attention to him this year. Does he have anything left physically?

He can twirl a towel from the bench with the best of them!!! Be smiling and all that ****!! But playing basketball..... nah

Save the season no, the only way this season gets "saved" is by Book, Beal and KD playing like the stars they are.

But Royce would help a lot. Good defender, good shooter, good passer, can play a variety of roles. Maybe most important unlike the potential Miles Bridges stuff we can keep Royce long term if we (Ishbia) want to because at the end of the day it's just more money out of his pocket that it'll cost us. We're already a 2nd apron team no matter what.

I like Royce for depth/insurance, and likely wouldn't be hard to resign at discount. Prefer him over someone like Tucker on a buyout.

I'm with you, I've been eyeing him for different iterations of this team for years lol

[Ghost of Kleine]

Please find me a deal to bring in Larry Nance Jr/ Kj Martin Jr (or Saddiq Bey) and a buyout PJ Tucker (pushing the clips for a buyout).

[Saberestar]

Micic to the Hornets in the Hayward deal.

[Saberestar]

Appears that Royce O'Neale is the most likely Net to be traded, with a return of multiple 2nd-round picks and a young player.

Spencer Dinwiddie's $19M salary continues to be a roadblock. His market is limited and BKN is not looking to take back significant salary past this year.

Why in the world the Pacers trade Hield for that **** package??

Ya WTF are the Pacers doing?

Yeeeeesh.

Doncic/Gafford is gonna be lob city. I cannot believe the Wiz gave him up for the corpse of Rashaun Holmes and "draft compensation".

Sixers trade House to Pistons, create space to potentially use in buyout market

Not gonna paste the entire article here, but the point to this is that maybe we can use our exceptions for Philly Or possibly other teams? to help them create cap space and maybe pickup an additional pick or two in the process for helping them do something they were looking to do anyways.

Could we pull an Oubre or maybe a KJ Martin jr or a Pat Bev or even a Bamba using our exceptions and a 2nd? Could their be another team in a similar situation looking to create some roster spots for the buyout market whilst also picking up a cheap asset in the process?

Signed at a reasonable deal for 3 years too. Wizards must be getting some pretty good picks, I guess.

Someone wake JJ up. I’m sure he doesn’t know today is trade deadline

[LV-Suns]

I am not expecting any sort of moves, we have no assets to offer whatsoever. Bridges was our best bet. Someone with baggage and a no trade clause.
