The 2024 NBA Draft is nearly here, and not long after that, the Phoenix Suns will have some options to pursue in free agency.
As a second tax apron team, the Suns’ trade flexibility is more limited. Making a move for established talent isn’t impossible, but as we’ve covered in painstaking detail with our weekly hypothetical trades for every player under contract, it will be exceedingly difficult.
Phoenix has needs up and down the roster, from improving the center depth to adding bigger, defensive-minded wings to securing a reliable backup point guard. The Suns don’t need a starting-caliber point guard, and their avenues for landing one are pretty obstructed, but if they can bring in a capable floor general to handle the ball, run some offense and make life easier for the second unit, that could go a long way in stabilizing the Suns’ offense whenever the Big 3 aren’t all sharing the court.
