I agree but it's eerily quiet in Suns land. The most I have seen or heard regarding Oubre is a tweet now and then.
This is from 10-19-20.

I'd only be guessing. I need lessons in tweet talk. Wonder if the $ sign means that's an issue.
Check his instagram, it's got a lot of pics and videos of him working out at the Madhouse.

Don't worry about that, he just likes using the $ instead of S.

Instagram only allows a few seconds of view time until they want you to sign up. It's something I really don't want to do. I like to have a little privacy.
Good to know about the $ sign.
I have a dummy email so I can make dummy accounts on sites like Instagram. I'm not a fan of needing to log in everywhere.
The last 2 weeks though have been posts of him working out at the Madhouse, which is a good sign. I think there are 6 posts over that time.
I remember trying to decipher the $ last offseason. He explains it in an old tweet, like 3-4 years ago.

Unless they’re in love with Toppin it would be moved for a player. Someone like Simmons or Beal (of course we’d have to add future picks).
True, but I would be even more pissed playing on a team without an NBA caliber power forward in back to back seasons right after playing on a team without an NBA caliber point guard in back to back seasons.

If the Suns are interested in trading Oubre this is the type trade they should be all over. Oubre for Myles Turner.

Better off silent
I’m struggling to see any scenario where Indiana would trade for Kelly Oubre. Unless they get rid of Oladipo, and even then it’s shaky.

If there is any truth to the rumor the Pacers are interested in trading Myles Turner for Gordon Hayward, I think they might be willing to consider Oubre as well. Hayward is the better shooter (not a lot of difference) but Oubre is younger.

I am even having a hard time imagining them trading for Gordon! I wouldn't!
Hayward shouldn't be on anyone's radar, the injuries and getting surpassed by Smart and Brown.

In my opinion, the Nets deal is intriguing, and the Magic deal is a no-brainer for us. I wouldn't touch the Warriors or Lakers deals.

I’d take the Nets trade all day Dinwiddie and Jarret Allen would be great additions to this team.
Orlando with Gordon I do that all day
other than those two trades nothing there makes me say wow
Oubre and #10 for #2 would be a joke. I would, however, consider Oubre straight up for #2. I don't know that I would do it, but I would give it strong consideration...
a joke? Oubre is a nice role player who depends on his athleticism coming off a knee injury who’s going to want a new contract at the end of the year.
you wouldn’t take Toppin to play PF.
I would, but not at the expense of Oubre plus a lottery pick.

It's a more than fair deal if we're confident Toppin is the answer at power forward. I have no idea if he's the one we need but if the coaching staff, scouts and front office think he is, I see nothing wrong with the trade.

I would also be WAY against trading #10 and Oubre for #2. I just don’t think the value between the players at #2 and the players at #10 are worth Oubre. Even if I am convinced that Oubre doesn’t have a long term future here I would rather keep #10 and move Oubre in a separate trade.

Are you saying this because you don't like the players at the top? In a typical draft year, to me, someone like Oubre (coming off a knee injury) on a short term deal plus the 10th pick is a steal for the 2nd pick but I just don't know about this class.

Oh yea... in 90% of the drafts I would make the trade in a second but Oubre and the #10 probably couldn’t even get you up to #2 in those drafts. This draft just doesn’t have the high end talent at the top. I think the top 9 players are pretty interchangeable with Vassell being a pretty good consolation at #10 if he doesn’t jump up and cause someone else to slide.

@Finito
I'm against trading Oubre and number 10 for 2. @offset has explained why.
A few things get lost here. Why would the Warriors trade for Oubre if he is only a nice role player?
Oubre is a potential starter for many teams and a young player who is on the way up. I'm sure the Warriors realize this. Also it likely means the Warriors feel he is as good or better than the second pick in the draft.
The other thing that gets lost, the Warriors do not have the right player contracts to make the trade work. They are over the salary cap. They would have to come close to matching salaries. Looking at their current roster they likely couldn't do this trade without involving another team. This is simply not a trade where the Warriors trade for Oubre and swap picks.
