The trade deadline thread.2026

I don’t see it for Livers.

I'd rather play Livers than Hayes-Davis. Wonder if returning to Europe is an option for NHD. I have no clue how their seasons run.

I don’t see it for Livers.

Right now, Livers is a better player than Dunn and Fleming. Due to relative need, I'd see Livers filling out the 15th regular spot going into playoffs.

Dunn is going to lose minutes untill someone gets hurt. Rather have Livers or Flemming

I do. He is a pretty capable wing. Plays good D, hustles, shoots a decent 3.

i don't know what this means - if you're talking about jalen being back it should effect the guards' minutes more than dunn's

dunn is better than livers period - both ends of the floor- especially with gillespie and oso and goody

I think if you go by current value of playing time Livers is slightly better than Dunn right now. Dunn has actually been pretty bad defensively this year, he is one of the worst on the team at staying in front of his man despite his reputation and athletic ability.

However I think Dunn's upside is a lot higher, and I still think he will develop so I would continue to give him playing time over Livers.

i think dunn prided himself on being a lock down defender last year - staying infront and mastering the art of getting around screens - now he's learning to switch - learning when to rotate instead of switch

i think we see oso flourishing because he used to play pg and he's smart af - dunn is more heart and 100% effort but together they make sweet defense - they reek havoc

i like livers but for like 5 minutes - his experience is keeping him in over fleming - honestly i see the flemingo getting better and livers not being here next year

This morning I started typiing my thoughts about Dunn but never finished...but I was going to say I think Dunn's issue is team defense.

Due to switches and screens, he is just a half second late on rotations or his assignment, and he seems to constantly be behind his defender. His 2nd year status doesn't earn him any leeway with the refs on calsl despite him not committing any actual foul. Last year is was guilty of doing a lot of those dumb fouls.

Livers is a good energy player but his FG % is not so good, and for me its the hip. He had surgery on it, and was out for a 10 games or so. He would have to be a longer term project but Flem might be that guy already at the same position.

Livers can probably be resigned for the minimum, so I think he stays.

We are likely to loose either Goodwin or Gillespie, or we have to free up money by trading Grayson or Royce. Anyway you cut it there will be more minutes available next year and a little less depth I think.

Hopefully Flemming will get those minutes, but keeping Livers on the bench is a no brainer to me at the min.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

We have bird rights on Gillespie so we can just sign him. It's why it is important to get under this year

Having Fleming and his rookie contract contribute in a big way would solve a lot of issues, including money. Also, with Green and Williams both under 24 we'd have a solid core of young players.

This. And Fleming has much more upside than Livers.

Much rather target Siddiq Bey at a fraction of the cost and none of the baggage.

At one time I think the Suns were interested but that was under the old administration. I think the new version of the Suns are looking for more team oriented players with less distractions.

You had me at "none of the baggage".

Dunn has been a disappointment this year.

I have no idea what any of you see in livers. He seems to miss all his open 3s, miss layups and doesn’t seem to be an effective defender. But other than those items he’s great.
