    We have some more breaking news...

    Avery Bradley is headed to Phoenix for TJ Warren.

    In related news, the Grizzlies are looking to move TJ Warren, lol.

    Now this seems like a trade for the sake of trading if you are still looking to move the player. But hey, I like the entertainment.

    It's one of those where I thought I could get something else accomplished with Warren instead of Bradley in future trades but Warren also fits the team direction if those don't pan out.

    Did Bradley drop off the cliff? I liked him better before but haven't seen him this year. How does Bradley not fit the direction of the team if Warren does though? And if you don't want to discuss for everyone to see then PMing me is ok. Or just tell me to F' off! haha

    Bradley played 14 games with Memphis and played pretty good but prior to that had played really bad (at least offensively) with Detroit and LAC.

    I needed another bigger wing instead of a smaller combo guard. Warren is way better offensively and shot a career high 42% from 3 last year. Plus he is a couple years younger. From what I gathered there was interest in him where I was barely getting any interest in Bradley in trades.

    What are you looking for in exchange for Warren?

    This draft and season turnover needs to happen soon. Feels like I have way too much crap to keep track of for future deals.

    As for Phoenix.......it gives them a defender at SG to go alone with Tyler Johnson (PG) Bridges (Wing) Ayton (Who improved dramatically toward the end of his rookie season) and AD (assuming the rumors are true)

    Add in DeAnthony Melton, Kelly Oubre, and E'twuan Moore and Suns are in good position to attract some quality free agents for Monty Williams ...with the cap space to do it.

    Just for the record: Oubre is a restricted free agent.

    Right they will match unless KD wants to move to the valley of the sun to play with AD
    Although Klay would fit in well at SG.

    Damn. I know it's my responsibility to ask around for guys, but a lot you would almost assume are untouchable, wish more people would drop "rumors" of availability.

    Are you sure you will have that much cap space?

    Not for Klay and KD. I just meant one of them.
    But one more player would need to be moved first.

    If you are getting AD and Moore

    You'd be over $83 million with AD, Moore, Ayton, Johnson, Bradley, Bridges, and Melton. Minus roster holds the most you could offer a free agent would be about $22 million.

    Edit: Durant can get $32.7 million.

    2nd Edit: I see you edited your post to reflect that you still need to move someone else.

    Yeah Tyler Johnson would have to be traded if KD was interested. Otherwise I would want to keep him.
