Grading the Phoenix Suns trade for Royce O’Neale and David Roddy
© Brett Davis-USA TODAY SportsThe Phoenix Suns made their first in-season trade less than two hours before the trade deadline, acquiring Royce O’Neaale from the Brooklyn Nets and David Roddy from the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team trade.
Here are the full details of the trade:
Suns: Royce O’Neale, David Roddy
Nets: Keita Bates-Diop, Jordan Goodwin, 3 second-round picks (via Suns)
Grizzlies: Yuta Watanabe, Chimezie Metu, 2026 first-round pick swap (via Suns)
The Nets and Grizzlies are both unlikely to make the playoffs, so it is hard to grade this trade for them, as they are just trying to get off salaries.
