Suns didnt get Jae Sean Tate or KJ Martin. Sucks
Roddy seems like the Kroger Deluxe version of PJ Tucker.
Losing Yuta and Mez is kinda sad for me. I hoped we would get more out of them but… they're minimums, what are you gonna do? 🤷♂️
I was afraid we were gonna get nothing by the deadline when I heard bridges isn’t leaving the hornets. This trade is better than nothing and I think it makes the suns way better than they were before
Tyler Ulis is literally a coach now
Nice work Suns- very nice work. Got tough, dirty, rebounding and balance.
Royce is a starter in the league KBD isn't simple
This why the suns will never win.
These seem like lateral moves which is to be expected. Listening to Gerald talk about saben Lee as a quality backup really makes me question his current sobriety level. Espo hated the idea of adding bol and did a complete 180. Hearing his opinion on suns needs I immediately tune him out. The main thing he brings to the show is a semi- likable aging Jonah hill type comedy factor. I'd take killian hayes as a backup to replace goodwin. A former lottery pick with size, scoring and playmaking skills. I'd take him over saben Lee , who let's be realistic. He's only on this team because of Matt ishbia and his Michigan connection. I like Roddy, he gives us a little more strength and physicality, kind of like a poor man's pj tucker. He and eubanks can add depth to the power forward position as backups. Now we need to see if we can get a backup center and pointguard from what's available on the buyout market and we move closer to actual contender status instead of pretender status.
Meh
Great Addition for the Suns about O'Neal I think he's a little bit ovarrated
I think they’re putting more trust in bol bol and having him play with eubanks that’s why they got rid of KPD
It's crazy how we didn't move Nas… I'd rather trade him + Yuta + KBD… I liked Metu and Goodwin.
Anyways, Royce is a decent pick-up.
Go Suns, always.
I'm just happy they got something for those guys. I don't believe we had much control over any of them going forward anyway. So even if one of them becomes a great player going forward. It wouldn't have been on our team. They were all given a great opportunity. O'Neill is going to fit right in with this team.
Now we just hope to hit the jackpot on a buyout player. Or 2. I guarantee JJ's got his wishlist.
GO SUNS ! !
Royce is mid and such a streaky shooter
Metu had potential but his iq wouldn’t allow him to be in playoff rotation anyways so great moves !
I was hoping for Kris Dunn as well but let’s see who we get in buyout. I would pick up Robin Lopez for size and maybe Spencer for second unit
Boooo
We got 2 playoff rotational pieces and lost maybe 1 in KBD
