I like Cody Martin as a player. Heck, he was at UNR when I was up there in Northern Nevada. I have a fond spot in my heart for him and his brother. He's the kind of guy you need on a Championship level team to play defense and do the little things and hit the occasional three pointer. I would argue he's not needed here yet since we will not be on that level next season. Richards, at best people are saying he projects as a back up. I know a lot of fans want to keep both those guys, but getting under the second apron before a KD trade, I would argue serves us better at the moment. Micic didn't even take a shot when he played. Micic was just looking at us waiving him so he can sign for much more money in Europe.
I really think the Suns will make some moves soon to address the cap situation. They are too busy looking for a coach. Evidently our front office can only do one thing at a time. LOL!
So if we get under the second apron, we could do a multi team trade and could aggregate multiple players in a trade going out. That would get us players and picks back. If we keep the two picks in the draft coming up, there's two more players. We would still have Beal, too if we were patient and didn't use assets to farm him out. Depending on who we get in return on a KD trade, this team could be entertaining.
