2025 NBA Free Agency

[wpmiller42]

Part 2
Grayson & Royce trade targets (in descending salary order)

Grayson-only candidates:
PJ Washington
Obi Toppin
Kelly Olynyk (meh)

Grayson or Royce:
Derrick Jones Jr
Caleb Martin
Simone Fontecchio
Ousmane Dieng
Jarace Walker
Dean Wade

I don't know why Indy would trade Obi, but he would fit in really well with what we've done so far.

[ShelC]

Think it's too late for Obi now, wanted us to snag him on his way out of NY.

Grayson-only candidates:
PJ Washington

Grayson or Royce:
Derrick Jones Jr
Caleb Martin
Simone Fontecchio
Ousmane Dieng
Jarace Walker
Dean Wade

I like some of those players, but why trade Grayson or Royce for another swing/SF? Isn't the problem that we have too many of those? Or are you thinking we'd also get a pick in the deal?

[ShelC]

I was looking at Royce for Fontecchio yesterday. Saves us a bit of money, he's an ending contract and even tho he's more of a SF he played PF a bunch the past few years. I think Royce would fit in well in Detroit if they're open to taking on the longer contract. Good veteran presence, some toughness and shooting.

[Split T]

We’ve got some conflicting reports

Every one of these moves would get us closer to dipping below the second apron.

[TOO]

They'll get both.

Grayson for Toppin would be great.

I just don't see why Indiana would do it.

Add shooting and free up time for Walker is why I'd do it if it were Indiana.

I hope you're right, it would be great for us. One more decent PG and PF on the roster and I'll feel really good going into next season. I already feel pretty good as it is but it would be nice if we could trade our redundant pieces for positions of need.

[The Bobster]

With Lopez as a UFA, Milwaukee might be interested in Richards. They have a $7 million trade exception and could just send second rounders to us in return.

The only teams with exceptions big enough to take on Grayson Allen's contract ($16.875 million) are Atlanta ($25 million exception), Brooklyn ($23.3 million), and Chicago ($17 million)

Those teams could also take on Royce O'Neale's copntract ($10.125 million) as could Sacramento ($16.38 million), Dallas ($11 million), New Orleans ($13 million) and Miami ($16.07 million).

Atlanta actually has a second exception for $13.1 milion and could take on both of them.

Trading Allen or a combination of Richards and O'Neal and not taking back any salary would get the Suns under the 2nd apron.

[TOO]

Atlanta is apparently zeroed in on Alexander-Walker

Yeah - this, plus they lost some backcourt depth next season with Hali out.

[Split T]

Another dud, just boring Memphis re-signing their guys so far

[Split T]

Was reported earlier…also how was this not tampering?

[Mori Chu]

Memphis maxes out JJJ.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Looks like Cole Anthony will be available. I'm sure the Suns can't match offers from other teams, but I'd like him if they can figure it out.

I thought I read somewhere Detroit had a bunch of cap space too but I have no idea where to verify that. But maybe exceptions and cap space are two different things
