Who is Suns’ Top Trade Candidate?
The Phoenix Suns have a few options when it comes to the trade market this summer.
PHOENIX — It’s offseason time for the Phoenix Suns, and with their shocking exit from the first round of festivities, all options should be on the table.
Phoenix’s big three of Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker ultimately failed on their mission to deliver an NBA championship to the Valley. With a limited time window to capitalize on their talent, will owner Mat Ishbia and general manager James Jones make another vast change to the lineup?
Bleacher Report recently listed Bradley Beal as Phoenix’s top trade candidate:
“It’s easy to say now the Bradley Beal trade was unnecessary, expensive and shouldn’t have been made by the Suns following a first-round sweep by the Minnesota Timberwolves,” wrote Greg Swartz.
“It was also easy to say last offseason when Phoenix first made the deal.
“Beal now stands to make over $160 million the next three years and has full no-trade protection even if the Suns could find a deal. The 30-year-old shooting guard isn’t a bad player, but he’s extremely overpaid and doesn’t fit what this Phoenix team needs.ç
