We HAVE to make a trade.

You'd have to add a lot more to get Wall just to match the salary

I'm moving the Suns releasing Canaan conversation over here. So they now have two open roster spots. That can't be a coincidence. Let's just speculate that we are involved.

Maybe they are looking at (remember that Ryan Anderson is an expiring):

Ryan Anderson, Josh Jackson and the Milwaukee pick
for
Rubio, Thabo, Udoh and Bradley

OR

Ryan Anderson and draft considerations from the Suns
for
Burks, Thabo and Bradley
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9lfno3s

OR

We get Otto Porter and some sort of draft considerations
Suns get Rubio, Thabo and Bradley
Wizards get Ryan Anderson, Udoh and draft considerations from Suns

You think these are discussion-worthy, but the idea of signing Middleton is completely unfathomable...

I don't think it's unfathomable; I think it's unrealistic.

I think it's realistic to talk in a "we have to make a trade thread" about potential trades. The Suns are poised for a trade and we could use one. Igor was our coach last year and knows our personnel. They just released their starting PG of 15 of 20 games. We are stuck in the mud and playing terribly.

I'm not going to completely dismiss Middleton, but I'm not going to discuss it because I think we need to talk more realistically since we don't sign big free agents here.

Suns aren't making a trade... they are just saving some coin. If Canaan isn't playing they can just release him (his deal was unguaranteed) and they are now at the roster minimum. Everyday they don't have that extra guy Sarver saves a few pennies. I'm 95% sure that is what the release is about.

I understand a release for financial reasons, but they could have done that in another few weeks. He was still playing for them. Doesn't make much sense to drop a guy like that when that guy isn't hurt, a team cancer, etc. Igor just praised Canaan recently.

My feeling is that they are looking at:
Fultz
Hill - Cavs are on record saying they would trade him
Rubio - if Igor likes him enough and they give enough
Rozier
Wall

If Miami keeps losing, I bet they switch to tanking before long. They are about $6 million over the luxury limit.

Would anybody be interested in Olynyk? I think he would be an upgrade to Favors especially on the offensive end. He is shooting 34% from 3 on 3.4 attempts per game. He would space the floor pretty well for us. I'm also interested in Justise Winslow. He's one of those all purpose type guys who would be even better off the bench. He shot 38% from 3 last year. Still only 22.

I wonder if we could send some combo of Burks, Bradley, Thabo, Bradley and 2nd rounders. Sure we would sacrifice some summer cap space, but we might could get two useful players for 4 not so useful players. Miami could get very close to or under the luxury limit.

Absolutely. He'd be a great fit next to Gobert, fitting in the mold of good ol Memo. Price tag is worth it/

I think Olynyk would be awesome here.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Rubio will not move from Jazz, better, accept him.

I could picture the Jazz giving Rubio a 1+1 deal similar to Favors' contract, but hopefully, he'd pass the torch to a better all-around player.

So I did a little research on the Ryan Anderson deal. It's actually not an expiring but he took at pay cut from $21 million to $15 million for 2019-20. It was listed as a team option in some sites probably because he took this paycut. https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/08/3...aranteed-money-to-make-trade-to-suns-reality/

So I'm not willing or wanting to trade for Ryan Anderson at this time. Stay tuned...
