[Mainstreet]

Suns are sending three second round picks and salary to the Nets for Royce O'Neale.

I'm not going to worry about 3 second round picks - plus he's not a woman beater - let's go!

Suns are also getting Roddy.

I'm not worried about the picks either - other than it means this is all we are getting, which is to me quite depressing.

The Suns will reportedly keep O'Neale's Bird Rights.

A 6-4 255 Power forward with crap stats. What is the point?

We didn't give up any talent tho - not like Vogel's playing some second rounder any time soon

Curious what the salaries that go out are. Royce makes 9.5, so Little and a minimum? Maybe two minimums?

Come on! This team totally needs another 6’4 guy… who can’t shoot.

Let’s hope there’s someone, anyone worthy on the buyout market.

How did the Celtics get Tillman for 2 second rounders and we gave up 3 for Royce?

A 6-4 255 Power forward with crap stats. What is the point?

*227 lbs and can play defense iirc

I think Roddy fits into one of the exceptions we have, but O'neal does not.

 

[Raindog]

So basically two undersized wings with suspect shooting and maybe a little defensive upside.

Sure sounds like another James Jones haul.

 

[Proximo]

So 3 of our min guys?

Yuta, Mezi and KBD or Goodwin.

I like the deal a lot less than I already did if that is the case.

David Roddy is listed as a power forward.

Both guys are undersized. So, basically we got two more Okogies?

He is a -1.0 D box +/-. Tells me no, he really can't.

Royce is a slight Okogie upgrade.

I don’t know what the thinking is with Roddy.

 

[Hoop Head]

Here is Roddy's draft profile from Tankathon. He's shrunk 2" but he does have a 6'11" 1/2 wingspan. At 260 pounds he's bulky and long.

lol I knew it was going to take a three way type deal

No. Neither are close to Okogie defensively.

Royce is better offensively - but in my estimation he is about equivalent to Okogie in overall value.

 

[Covert Rain]

A 6-4 255 Power forward with crap stats. What is the point?

He is listed as 6-6. Not that it will help him shoot better.

 

[Mainstreet]

I suspect the Suns will add a center and perhaps a point guard in the buyout market or a trade exception.

The details for these players have still not been fully released.
