Suns trade for Royce O'Neale and David Roddy

[Proximo]

4 league minimum contracts and a couple/few(?) second rounders

For 2 guys I'm not sure we needed

Hoping we aren't done

Oh don't worry, I'm sure we will sign Biz.

Honestly if this is all we do, we might be worse.

 

[Mainstreet]

We do have some empty seats now, and 10+mil to spend in the buyout market.
Anyone know if we still have that cash available?

The Suns can always sign vet minimum players.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm hoping they have other plans for Little and Okogie.

I think the Suns keep Okogie. Keeping Little may be redundant, but he might have a future in Phoenix.

Gambo was saying the Suns #1 target was Fontecchio. When they didn't get him they pulled the trigger on Royce.

 

[Proximo]

still over an hour to go before the deadline

why do I feel like we're not done

Because little is still on the team.

The Suns should be able to defend and find some rotation players. Their bench was their weakness.

Yuta and Metu were flawed players, I'm fine with trading them.

KBD an Goodwin were playable guys.

Roddy reminds me a lot of Little from the videos I am watching - maybe he is a guy they think develops, but we still have Little.

Royce is experienced but he isn't very good.

These move's barely move the needle one way or the other - and it could be for the worse.

Still is, and it's still terrible.

David Roddy is part of a pick swap.

Huh…

I'm not going to worry about 3 second round picks - plus he's not a woman beater - let's go!

He is not the player the women beater is

 

[Proximo]

He is not the player the women beater is

He's maybe 30% the player.

He's barely a rotation player is the truth.

The Pistons waive Daniel House Jr.

Suns fans should remember him.

Keeping Little is a head scratcher but maybe no one wants that contract.

It's a good contract by today's nba standard. We may have just decided to keep him because it's a good contract for 3 more years.

I really don't think we need another 6'4 guy that can't shoot.

And Little is only 23. He may get better.

I don’t see how an unplayable player being on a multi deal is a good contract.

Some comments on O'Neale and Roddy.

[Dr. Jones]

I'm puzzled as to how O'Neal is better than KBD, Metu & Goodwin combined but...... None of these folks were winning us the title.

I do feel that KBD on the right night is the biggest + of all of them however.

I liked KBD as well, also Goodwin, but the Suns were a sieve inside defensively.

O'Neal is making 45% of his corner 3s this season (40% for his career).
