I like Melton. Anderson has on court value but an awful contract. This may cost us about $4-6M in cap room next offseason, but is pretty neutral if we had picked up Chriss' contract.
Our PG situation is pretty weak right now. There's probably another move coming.

It's also probably worse for Bender than if we had just kept Chriss.

Huh? What exactly does Knight and Chriss do for them?da_suns_fan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 9:07 pmThis trade makes tons of sense for Houston and zero for Phoenix.
How does McDonough have a job?

Well we had the Lakers pick and the number 7 pick in a draft and somehow we end up with Ryan Anderson.Split T wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 9:09 pmHuh?

Gotta think another move is coming unless we're all in on point Booker.Shabazz wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 9:08 pmI like Melton. Anderson has on court value but an awful contract. This may cost us about $4-6M in cap room next offseason, but is pretty neutral if we had picked up Chriss' contract.

Knights gonna come off the bench and play great for them.
Anderson is well past his prime. This trade makes zero sense for Suns.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this... The Lakers pick, the #8 pick (not 7) and Ryan Anderson have nothing to do with this trade.

If they loved Melton, they could have drafted him.
Re: Suns Trade Knight and Chriss for Anderson and Melton
I wonder about that. He had a down season, but he’s not old. He’s 30.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see another trade happen.

Re: Suns Trade Knight and Chriss for Anderson and Melton
Maybe, I see Melton more like Marcus Smart. He's a defensive prospect that can handle the ball a bit. I think Okobo has more of a chance to be an actual PG
Re: Suns Trade Knight and Chriss for Anderson and Melton
FWIW, a lot of draft nerds LOVED Melton
Re: Suns Trade Knight and Chriss for Anderson and Melton
I'm just happy to see Chriss gone. He must've not been in the teams plans all along.

I love Shaq and advocated him starting before this trade.
