I saw this article pop up and wanted to know what type of player Nick Richards is.
Suns would get him to be the backup since each backup big has failed this season.

Also, what do you think it would cost for the Suns to be able to land him. Obviously, their assets are limited.

Nasir Little (who is clearly being benched until the deadline), 4 2nds, a couple of trade exceptions, Goodwin.

I don't expect them to trade Allen, Nurk, or the big 3.
Just curious if it's feasible to trade for him.

Just saw that article as well. Honestly not sure.

I think Rozier is gone at the trade deadline Miller is starting to show signs of his scoring potential on offense. Kind of crazy he only missed 2 shots last night and had the 3rd most shot attempts on the team. Efficient!

I think Hayward will likely be a buyout candidate. Not sure what we will do with Bridges, but I don't expect him to get traded because of his ability to waive any trade.

Hopefully we get back a 1st for Rozier. Would hate to trade him away for peanuts.

For Rozier, I think NY would give up Fournier, a 1st and maybe a 2nd or 2. He's the type of player they need. Good contract and an excellent bench contributor. I don't expect Charlotte to have trouble getting value for him.

He's not expiring so I don't know why we would trade him if we didn't like the return.

You thought wrong.

We liked the return? I don't view expiring + 1st as peanuts

Love the trade honestly.

50 mil in cap space, we likely we have a top 5 pick in the draft this year, and a new HC.

We have become a attractive position for any HC this off-season. Our young trio Melo/Miller/Mark are ready to be surrounded with a winning culture.

Excellent trade imo.

Should we pursue Dejuante Murray?

He will probably cost multiple 1st round picks with possibly Lowry as the salary filler.

Are you okay with that?

Nah, have a few Hawks fans in my group chat that hate him. Doesn't play defense anymore and isn't a good fit off the ball. Not sure he makes sense with Melo at all especially at that price.

I feel like Andrew Wiggins is about to be a Hornet.

Yep, or a guy we're all very familiar with - Nic Batum.

Having a highly paid wing player with health or motivation issues is a team tradition at this point.

Saw the mention of Suns being interested in Richards and Miles. What in the ever-loving F do they have to offer? They have crap bench players and 5 largely crap second round picks between now and '29. That is it. No 1sts, no intriguing role players, no young/raw prospects. Nada. I mean it's bad - the 2nd they have this year is 31-54 protected.

They blew their load on Durant and Beal. They’ve got nothing to offer and they’re not as good as the team they had two seasons ago either.

I shared some trade ideas with the goal being to take on salary for future assets on AllHornets.com, thought they would be of interest to most on this thread.

Yeah they made their bed, teams should feel like they have to try and make it work with F tier assets just to make them feel involved.

Feel rather confident if they move Bridges we will all hate the return and in 12 months we will regret just giving away a 20 ppg scorer at a premium position.
