Welcome to another episode of Take That For Data, part of the PHNX Suns Podcast! On the latest episode, Gerald Bourguet and Stephen Pridgeon-Garner have a trade-heavy episode lined up, as well as an important discussion heading into 2024 NBA free agency.

First, the duo tackles the importance of re-signing Royce O'Neale after ESPN's Brian Windhorst said the Phoenix Suns would get it done this summer. As a wing player with size, O'Neale brings a lot to the Suns, and as a second tax apron team, Phoenix won't free up any cap space by letting him walk.

After breaking down the salary cap ramifications of re-signing O'Neale and why it's so important, then it's time to dive into some hypothetical trade scenarios involving Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little, David Roddy and Grayson Allen (who can't be traded until Oct. 15, six months after signing his contract extension).

From targets like Nick Richards and Tre Mann to Deni Avdija and Wendell Carter Jr. there are a lot of options -- both likely and unlikely -- the Suns might pursue.
