NBA Trade Deadline news and rumors 2019-20 season

[Town Drunk]

I keep saying that many posters here vastly overrate expiring contracts, but no one ever listens.

Sorry, what?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns got Oubre last season. That's worth a shoe.

Uh no. I’m pretty sure when we got oubre to add to jJ, warren and bridges the “other shoe” y’all were waiting for was they had to trade one of the sf’s for a pg. and most of you (unsure which of you) were sure that other shoe was going to drop.

Yeah the value of the expiring contract was a thing of the past.

The Marbury to the Knicks trade was one of the all time salary heists, but sadly guys like Isiah Thomas and Billy King are no longer bumbling around NBA front offices.

Still waiting for Milos Vujanic to come over...

Of course the trade for a true point guard never came.

However, Oubre and to a lesser extent Tyler Johnson were significant trades. Still waiting to see the impact of Tyler Johnson... if the Suns can turn him into something more.

Even if he stays glued to the bench for the remainder of his deal he's a better option than Ryan Anderson or Brandon Knight.

It’s just that expiring contracts are valuable to the team that has them too. The Suns will like to get the cap relief that Tyler’s contract brings. Expirings are valuable in facilitating uneven trades—picks for players etc. His contract is handy if that type of opportunity comes up. For instance, if the Suns wanted Kevin Love, Tyler’s contract would be a key facilitating piece.

So, if it WAS a thing of the past does that mean it is no longer a thing of the past?

This.

Yes, nobody is just looking for cap relief but having a TJ contract does make it easier to facilitate certain trades.

True, for negative-value players like Love. So an expiring contract can help you bring in a player no one else wants.

This is for sure. At least Tyler Johnson can give the Suns some minutes if the need arises.

 

[Mainstreet]

With Frank Kaminsky out indefinitely the Suns need to be shopping for a 4/5.

Although Henry Ellenson is does not fit the job description of a defensive power forward/center he was waived by the Nets.

However, room would have to be made as the Suns have a full roster except for a two-way slot.

Suns can find muscle in the G league

But can they find talent?

 

[1Sun]

Is Kenneth Faried still available?

 

[Ronin]

Is Kenneth Faried still available?

He is in playing in China.

 

[Ronin]

wait, scratch that he is available. His contract was terminated by the Zehijang Lions.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Drummond and Steven Adams are being shopped.

Adams would be an interesting addition here. I wonder what his trade value is.

If the Thunder are looking for cap relief, Tyler Johnson and either Baynes or Saric would work...

 

[JCSunsfan]

Drummond could probably be had for a highly protected pick and expiring contracts.

 

[Mainstreet]

If Dragan Bender becomes available it's something to think about.

I don't know. I cannot see Bender as an improvement over Kaminsky.

Please no. Haven't we suffered enough of him?

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not looking at it as an improvement so much as need.

The Suns could use a couple more big men whether that's by trade, creating a roster spot or even on a two-way contract. Suns needed at least one before Kaminsky's injury.

Bender is probably better than Ellenson although it's not saying a lot.
