Dec 17, 2018 — Ryan McDonough

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Kelly Oubre Jr.. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

PHX on 2018-12-17: the listed basketball needs were event creation, passing, creation. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 0 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Public market context only; no team linklisted needs: event creation · passing · creation1 candidate — ordered by team link, then need match, then evidence. No target score.

Why is he here?

Markieff Morris: Markieff Morris was on the public trade market, but no source linked PHX to him. His strongest observed functions did not match the listed top needs. The candidate salary route was not reliable enough to screen. Exact transaction legality remains withheld without a complete package and exception ledger.

Minimum-outgoing salary screen (Not applicable)

prior-season impact context: 0.3 per 100 (O 0.1 / D 0.2) — Prior impact context is separate from team fit, price, and transaction value.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
