Latest on possible Ariza trade

Won't the Suns have to cut someone to maintain roster size??

That would be easy.

Nope. They were down to 13 players before signing Eric Moreland the other day and he put them back to 14. Ariza out and Rivers and Oubre in puts us back at 15, the maximum amount possible.

My guess is Evans (even though he is currently better than Rivers) gets sent back to the G League.

I don't hate the trade...but the process certainly wasn't encouraging.

Not sure Oubre works out, but he's on the high end of what I was expecting out of an Ariza trade. My big concern now is the Suns giving Rivers a big role. If that happens, I don't like the trade.

I think Evans had surgery and might have a buyout coming.

Thanks, I was searching on the internet and couldn't find the exact number of players that are "officially" on the Suns roster.

Evans is on a two-way contract. He will not effect the Suns 15 man roster.

Are we sure we got the right Oubre?

All I his talk about the Suns passing on a better deal from the Lakers is crap. The only player the Lakers are known to have offered is KCP. On paper it looks like Oubre is better.

I definitely like Oubre more than KCP.

Oubre played for Kansas like Jackson. Maybe we're moving from getting Kentucky guards to Jayhawk forwards?

Yeah... I wish they wouldn’t.

I think it would be best for all involved if PHX just kept away from KU players.

It's funny because a few days ago, people here were up in arms saying how Jones should be fired if he trades Ariza to the Lakers. Now people are complaining that he didn't trade Ariza to the Lakers. Some folks here can't be happy unless they are complaining.

It sounds like the Suns wanted one of the young "core" players from LA and they wouldn't give them up (Ball, Heart, Kuzma, etc). Phoenix wisely moved in a different direction. The whole three-way trade involving the Lakers sounded bizarre since the Lakers were completely unnecessary in any possible scenario.

Nobody is going to believe the Suns can do anything right until they win some games. Sarver and Co. dug themselves into this hole. It’s not gonna be easy to get out.

Oh no doubt!

I’ve always liked Oubre. Another athletic wing in the era of positionless ball. He’s strong, plays decent d and hops. And he fits the timeline.

Rivers is irrelevant.

 

[SirStefan32]

Do we have any Los Angeles locals or other Clippers watchers here that can tell us more about Rivers?
His stats over the last two years in LA actually look pretty good. Does anyone have more insight?
