I'll have Ariza or Brewer, Jones or Motiejunas and Harrell for Morris, Tucker and Goodwin
Highly unlikely they part with Ariza. Motiejunas is damaged goods. No point asking for Harrell since the Suns wouldn't develop him.
Houston gets
Markieff Morris (8.0, 2019)
P. J. Tucker (5.5, 2017)
Phoenix gets
Terrence Jones (2.5, RFA 2016)
Corey Brewer (8.2, 2018)
future 2nd-round pick
Not a fan of that Corey Brewer contract. Same as Kieff but a year shorter, and a far lesser player, at least when comparing both players at their best.
The problem is that Terrence Jones need to be paid this summer.
I am not feeling too good about signing Tjones long term for the money he will ask
This doesn't bother me much. You have to pay somebody. He has 50-something games to show what he's worth. When the Thunder were afraid to pay Harden, their loss became the Rockets' gain. Bledsoe and Knight are on good contracts, so the Suns have some room to work with.
Isn't Jones a Restricted this summer? If so, that would give the Suns more leverage.
Yes, but theoretically it could be a Tristan Thompson situation where the two sides can't agree on an extension and he holds out. Or he could take the one-year escape contract if he really didn't want to stay.
Versus keeping Markieff Morris? I'd probably take that chance.
Pelicans talking to Suns about Morris now.
The Pelicans’ willingness to part with forward Ryan Anderson could make conversations worth exploring between the two teams, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The Pelicans are willing to consider moving Anderson as a part of a potential deal for Morris, especially if Anderson doesn’t show an interest in signing a new contract with New Orleans, sources said.
