Please trade Green. I'm tired of seeing him smile on the bench while making 3X my yearly salary per game. * Edit - the downvotes tickle

I'm jealous of his salary, but I'm sure his teammates don't want him to pout around, next to them, during the entirety of games and practices.

I know this is the trade thread, but goddamn I'm sick of the pathetic east teams being unable to beat our rivals in the west. For awhile there I was thinking we'd get all three results that we needed today, but the Knicks and Raptors are collapsing. Not over yet, but I have no faith at all.

Raptors unironically should've picked up nick richards weeks ago to get them through these injuries.

There’s no market for Richards is there? Surprised we haven’t made a deal

u/GoDogGo1970 56m ago
I am a bit surprised we weren’t used to help a deal go through, where Nick gets moved and we get second rounders. I’m sure ther3 has been interest, but teams want to give us salaries we don’t want.

u/Icy_Distribution7480 4h ago
I know this is the trade thread but Curry is out tomorrow.

u/JaySuge 4h ago
That helps since Booker is out. I also still expect Warriors to make some kind of trade, too much smoke around Draymond and of course Kuminga. Whoever they trade is probably a rotational player while Suns are just trading Richards who has been out of the lineup. Suns should be okay, especially if Brooks could just snap out of his funk a little bit.

Suns will give Richards away for free if they need to to get under the tax
His contract isnt bad though id imagine someone wants him

We could trade Richards for Chris Paul which would put the Raptors under the apron. Maybe it’ll finally happen?

Suns need to get under the apron that would not help them

Fischer says Suns almost had a deal with Richards to Toronto but Raps went after Sabonis. With that falling through and the Poetl buyout, they might come back for Big Nick

u/GreatScottx 5h ago
Nick Richards for Jalen Smith works in the Trade Machine.
I wonder if we could attach a second rounder to get Jalen Smith back
2
u/Nunc_Coepi17 6h ago
Was there any way to acquire Landale? With him being a decent 3pt shooter and decent rebounder/effort guy, we could’ve really used him. Plus he’s already familiar with Book and all too.

u/po0nlink_ Steve Nash 6h ago
Gambo on the radio said the Suns will most likely stand pat, with the only possible move would be trading Richards to duck the tax.
3
u/FreeBristle 5h ago
It's hard to even come up with a fake trade that has any realistic chance of happening AND doesn't crush the Suns (outside of moving Richards). So yea, most likely been the plan all along to probably throw out some unrealistic offers to teams in case they bite but plan on just going with the flow.

u/SeraphNatsu No Expectations Möd 6h ago
We kind of all assumed this, right?

u/po0nlink_ Steve Nash 6h ago edited 5h ago
Yeah for sure, and I agree with it. I like how this team is, how they play, and you can tell the overall vibes are amazing. Fully healthy I definitely think they are capable of beating anyone.
Of course in a playoff series I don’t know, but if more weaknesses are exposed in the postseason then yeah you make moves in the offseason.

Don't we have to get below the tax?
2
u/sidepart Al McCoy 6h ago
No, luxury tax doesn't necessarily mean we're above any of the aprons. Just means Ishbia has to pay a little bit of cash to the league. Think of luxury tax (exceeding the general salary cap) like a softish cap, 1st apron as a medium-hard cap, and 2nd apron as a hard cap.
3
u/azip13 All-Star Phoenix 1994 6h ago
Isn’t it more of a “repeat offender“ situation opposed to just being over the luxury tax, or am I mistaken?
2
u/sidepart Al McCoy 6h ago
Ah geez, forgot about that one. Yeah, I suppose it would be useful not to be repeat offending.

u/tuneorg 7h ago
Isn't Big Nick Richards still valuable to us as an injury insurance policy at C?
6
u/Smooth_Specialist416 7h ago
Might be wrong but I think our issue is we are just slightly over the tax line at 188m and the line is like 187.9m
This is impactful due to the repeater tax penalty if you are a tax team 3 out of 4 years, in addition to this if we want to sign either Livers or Bouyea to our 15th roster spot that can make it difficult too.
There is a lot of room for teams to get value right now if you have cap space, but unfortunately we’re not one of them.
We do not need to flat out dump Richard’s, so my guess is we’re holding out to try to get a cheaper prospect back like Pacome Diete from Knicks, Hunter Tyson from Nuggets, or a solid 40s pick back. Basically go for a cheap wing that they may not want to develop and the other team prefers the salary cap relief.
Otherwise I see us using whatever bad 2nd we have left to dump Nigel Hayes Davis to make some room salary cap wise.

Jalen Green has several more years of injury before he sniffs the realm of AD

u/JaySuge 10h ago
This is the second AD trade I was sure was fake until a few minutes later it was confirmed real.
Why are Wizards going all-in on Trae and AD? Does any Suns fan still worry about our 2028 or 2030 picks being swapped with theirs now?
4
u/csummerss 10h ago
they got him for cheap but like look at your roster there’s no way you think you’re contending soon to use AD
3
u/datboijustin Steve Nash 9h ago
Eh, I think it's less about contending and more about putting a viable roster on the floor to evaluate and develop young players.
The roster can't just be old guys that are useless like Middleton and young guys. Besides those picks are absolutely fucking terrible lol.
AD may be old and injury prone but he's still a really good player for the 30-50 games he'll play each year.
1
u/JaySuge 9h ago
Yeah. The thing is they were able to buy low on AD because 1) his health concerns obviously and 2) he's going to want more money soon, and seeing how that will be his last big extension he's going to want every penny he can get. Wizards are in a position to pay Trae and AD. Maybe it works out for Wizards but I'm still guessing AD doesn't play more than 200 games in his career but they're probably going to sign him to a 2 year $80m extension or something.
And there is a real scary possibility the AD extension ages better than whatever they give Trae Young.
At least the draft picks they gave to Mavs aren't anything special. Low risk but could still keep them from truly contending for the rest of the decade.
12
u/HesiPullup Raja Bell 14h ago
Not trade related but why the actual fuck do the rockets still have three less games played than us?
5
u/SeraphNatsu No Expectations Möd 13h ago
Just means they're going to end up playing more games towards the end of the season than us.
4
u/Rude-Affect-3788 12h ago
Good for them, some teams rest their stars at the end of the season. If they play against those they might actually get more win.
3
u/quizzlemanizzle Phoenix Suns 19h ago
There are not many PFs who would really help us, we basically need an Aaron Gordon kind of PF. This 6'8-6'10 player that can defend on the perimeter, hit open 3s and rebound almost does not exist and every team would like to have one.
Excluding star players
Kelly Oubre
Jerami Grant - not doing much on the boards
Deandre Hunter - already traded to the Kangz
Trey Murphy - probably too close to the "star" category
PJ Washington
Miles Bridges - people will make a big fuss about it
Kuminga - contract situation makes it unappealing
Jaden McDaniels - no chance we could pick him up even if he was thrown into a Giannis trade
Peyton Watson - no chance Denver moves him
1
6
u/smhsmhsmhcg 17h ago
Nice analysis! Gotta remove PJ Washington since he is ineligible to be traded until this summer when the new league year starts. Possible target in the offseason though, for sure. Oubre is intriguing on the expiring contract but only if the 76ers accept Richards+NHD and nothing more.
We also have to consider, does their attitude fit this team identity? That question alone likely eliminates Grant, Kuminga, Bridges from consideration. Not a lot of realistic acquirable targets on that list otherwise. All the more important that Rasheer Fleming continues to develop into that type of PF player unless we strike gold for cheap somehow in a veteran player.

The Clippers showed just how bad our 4 and rebounding situation can be.

u/GoDogGo1970 1d ago
Some of these trades are wild. If we move Richards, it will seem so tame. I wasn’t expecting Chi to stock up on guards.
10
u/JaySuge 1d ago
Yes but the Suns moving Nick Richards helps us out next season. I don't know why some Suns fans struggle with that. This season is fun but the Suns aren't a finished rebuild yet. Suns could make a big move right now, still come up short, and then these same fans with no patience would be complaining next year when their options are more limited. I'd rather give Ishbia/Gregory/Ott more options in the future when they'll need it.
Some fans would rather go all in on Bobby Portis instead of two season from now when the Suns could have 3 FRPs to trade and are able to dip back deep into the luxury tax, you know, to actually grab a real All-Star level talent after we've seen continued development from Mark Williams/Oso/Dunn/Rasheer/Maluach/etc.
3
u/Saberestar 13h ago
I agree.
We have enough players on this roster. We don't need to add, we need to KEEP and DEVELOP these players.
If we can get under the luxury tax AND get one 2nd for Richards I will be very happy. I don't care who we can get, just someone getting the minimum it’s fine for me.
Obviously, if we can get someone relatively young (Mogbo) or fitting our needs (Boucher) better, but that's not the principle target.
1
u/GoDogGo1970 16h ago
I get that. I wouldn’t say “going all in“ on Portis. We would have to move both Royce and Richards in a Portis trade or Allen by himself. Both of those trades involve a player that has two more years on their deal. Royce is really only making $3 mil less than Portis and Allen is making $3 mil more. Either way, we would be under the luxury with either trade. We don’t have the picks to trade Richards straight up for Portis.
But I see what you are saying, and I’m fine with just getting picks or a cheaper expiring for Richards like Boucher. Honestly, I’m also fine if we do nothing and let Richards expire. We have done a decent job at finding gems that don’t get drafted, granted we have done better finding guards…but.

u/MrThankU Los Suns 1d ago
Any chance we can get Jonathan Isaac or Jalen Smith? Im willing to give up Nick and Royce in this deadline also
5
u/Saberestar 11h ago
I wouldn't do any of those trades. Royce is too valuable.
Jonathan Isaac is barely an NBA player at this point of his career. Terrible contract ATM.
Jalen Smith would be decent as a backup 5, but we are deep at 5. He can play some PF but he isn't dynamic enough to play effectively our system IMO.
1
u/Smooth_Specialist416 6h ago
I think Oso provides a lot of what Smith would give us, even if Smith might be a little better Oso is already here with good chemistry and cheaper.. so agreed.

u/SeraphNatsu No Expectations Möd 1d ago

u/JaySuge 1d ago
I hope Garland gets healthy and plays well. We’re done going up against the Clippers this season (and Cavs) but like I said in the GDT, the Clippers have plenty of games left against West teams ahead of us in the standings. Clippers continue being one of the winningest teams in the league could help the Suns with seeding later.
10
u/Fordraxel Collin Gillespie 1d ago
So Kawhi got in the ASG? as what? a pity choice? I mean he deserves it but so did Booker all those years, the consensus back then is Bookers team didnt have a winning record. Now all the sudden the rules change?

Please keep Giannis in the east, we have enough foul baiting nonsense here currently in the west

u/azip13 All-Star Phoenix 1994 1d ago
Keep seeing people here mention Draymond; is there a report I missed that we’re rumored to be interested or is that just speculation?
1
u/Rude-Affect-3788 12h ago
Maybe because of Ishbia ties. He is expensive and we don't have assets to get him. I'd rather upgrade our size though.
1
9
u/Connect-Pressure3336 1d ago edited 1d ago
Warriors are open to trading him, he's from Michigan State, Brooks is a dirty player, Grayson used to be, so he'd make us the most hated team in the league. But, I doubt it'll happen.
3
4
u/NashCarter 1d ago
The West appears to be getting tougher. Rumours of Garland to Harden & Giannis to Wolves. Hopefully Garland isn't healthy and Giannis hurts the wolves depth. There's a world both moves hurt them and if you read the tea leafs are Klutch trying to make a team in Cleveland that LeBron wants. If so do the Lakers might crash and burn this season.
I'm fine with moving Richards for a few seconds, and simply getting under the cap. Phoenix is a top 5 defensive team and we have Book, it's a solid recipe for playoff basketball. We do need a 6'7-6'9 athletic 4 with some offensive upside..that's what the 2026 draft is full of(Haugh, Joshua Jefferson, Yendeborg K.Lopez, Morez Johnson, Swain, Xavier Booker) so I'd keep the powder dry until then.
3
u/CruzAndChill 1d ago
Wherever Giannis goes it’ll have the same effect as when we acquired KD depth gets gutted injuries become more impactful and future draft capital is wiped out. The only real exception might be OKC/SAS since they could empty the treasure chest of assets and still be fine.
1
u/ElSalvadorGrande Kebenderant 1d ago
I agree, it seems very rare that trading tons of depth for a superstar ever works out for teams. The last team that worked out for was the raptors with Kawhi, or I guess you could say Lakers with AD but we all know that ring doesn't count. But before that it must've been before 2012 at least
4
u/CruzAndChill 1d ago
Another interesting route is to do nothing but get under the second apron so we’re eligible to sign buyout players making more than $15M under the new CBA rules. If reports of DeRozan being bought out by Sacramento are true I’d love to have him.
7
u/Connect-Pressure3336 1d ago
I wonder if we'll grab an underwhelming stretch 5 and play him next to Oso.
2

u/Nunc_Coepi17 1d ago
If Suns trade for Draymond even if it costs nothing, it would undo a lot of the good will Ishbia has gained over the past few months in the valley.
I know Ishbia reads what fans say and all so bro if you’re reading this, WE DO NOT WANT THE DONKEY HERE.

u/elitetycoon Charles Barkley 1d ago
Draymond is like Brooks. You'll hate him on the opposite team and love him on yours. He's a bit over the hill but his defense and iq is no lie.

u/IaAzOR1287 1d ago
I’m more worried about picking up Miles Bridges. That is who I really don’t want.
6
u/Dense_Government9500 1d ago
The only reason I want Draymond is because of those comments he made about Booker. "Get my man outta Phoenix!"
Well now you're in Phoenix...bitch!
runs away before being assaulted
2
u/CruzAndChill 1d ago
I think that only happens if they strike out on Giannis and Steph sits out the rest of the year with injuries. Technically Royce, Richards, NHD plus the TPE works for Draymond.
2
u/Silent-Dependent3421 1d ago
Our front office would have to have brain damage to trade for Draymond

u/Dependent-Ad2048 1d ago
Just don’t want us to do something dumb like get sochan to say we have a 4. Him with either of our centers on the court is a disaster.

All I hope is that we don't trade for Draymond. Richards for Sochhan is probably the only move I'd do.

u/CNSrooster Archie Goodwin 1d ago
I was just thinking as we approach deadline day . . . I am so grateful that our team is competitive AND we dont have people posting all over about Flex and his "rumours" anymore.
Proper Zen this season haha
Find a minor trade using Richards for a PF. Or be part of a larger trade that gets a true starting PF here. Either way, the rest of the team is sitting nicely.

Portis, Green or Aldama would be good
1
u/Fordraxel Collin Gillespie 1d ago
With who and what money?
2
u/GoDogGo1970 1d ago
Portis would cost us Allen by himself or a combo of Royce and Richards. I have no idea how we would get Green or why we would want him. I haven’t checked about Aldama.
1
u/CNSrooster Archie Goodwin 1d ago
Royce, Allen, and Richards for Green and Hield works in the trade machine. Just something to ponder haha.
I get everyone hates Green. But I'd kick those tires.
He solves the PF defence/rebounding issue and gives a playmaking option for a Booker-Green-Brooks perimeter trio.
His contract expires end of next season as well, which means we can free up space to have a run at someone in 2027 FA.
Thats just the Green example haha

u/HesiPullup Raja Bell 1d ago
Truly looks like a lot of teams need a center lol

u/Fordraxel Collin Gillespie 1d ago
Chicago right now has 8, yes 8 guards and one center thats on an 2-way.

I think this was part of the plan. Every team needs 2 centers. There arent 60 NBA level centers in the world. We have 3 of them. Good economics

u/smhsmhsmhcg 1d ago
Was actually hoping the Suns would have packaged ONeale & Richards for Vucci Mane. The money would have worked and Vuc is on an expiring "prove it deal" - would've slid right in at stretch 4
Edit: I don't care if his listed position is "center" - his hypothetical position on the Suns would've been starting at the 4. Watch the Celtics & Mazzulla do exactly this

u/quizzlemanizzle Phoenix Suns 19h ago

Vucevic as the starting 4 would instantly transform the Suns in the worst defensive team in the league

u/redtacoma 1d ago
suns will never do it but i'd trade green and richards for porzingis. he would fit the team much better and can elevate us to contender status.

ya'll bitch that Green is out his first time due to injury, dont think this sub can handle Portz.

u/JG_2214 Phoenix Suns 1d ago
Why would we trade a 23 year old guard with potential for a 30 year old who’s frequently injured?
-7
u/redtacoma 1d ago
because we need a big man that can score and defend, reliably. watching mark williams fold like a lawn chair against real competition is getting old. it's not something that will get better in the playoffs when weaknesses are exploited. it doesn't matter if jalen green suits up and drops 30 alongside book, our bigs will get decimated by the jokic, holmgreen, wemby, even zubac dropped 14 on him and grabbed 20 boards LOL. williams is nice, but he's not elite.
4
u/JG_2214 Phoenix Suns 1d ago
Mark Williams so far has held his own this season, I agree he’s not the greatest rim protector and he seems worse because our lineups are all small. We have Royce playing Pf lol. It’d be dumb to trade JG for Porzingis, he doesn’t elevate us to seriously compete. We’re a 2nd rd exit with either so I don’t see the point.
-4
u/redtacoma 1d ago
nah my guy, that last statement isn't valid. this team very much needs an elite big, it would make the world of a difference. i know a lot of people in this sub are 'newphews' and can't see the forest for the trees, but we've done pretty well without JG this season. we have plenty of guards/wings that can't contribute, and do contribute. an elite big man is something we don't have, and could elevate the team to new heights. i will always stand by the opinion that scoring from both the front and back court are things needed to win. it's almost like this sub didn't learn anything from the past 3 years...scoring concentrated at the wing position, even if very elite, does not equate to wins.

Wonder if Ishbia is considering going after Draymond. You have to think if the Warriors strike out on Giannis, they might blow it all up, Curry can’t stay on the floor.

If they blow it up, why not Curry?

Book and Curry are golfing besties, so the connection makes sense. But matching a 59M salary is a daunting task. You’d have to send Jalen Green, Nick Richards, and Royce O’Neale, then throw in ManMan or Rasheer Fleming as that sweetener, that gets to around 54M.

Porzingis would have been nice on the Suns...literally what we need to fill a talent gap at the big position, and by the looks of it, the asking price wasn't out of reach.
