So who is the target? Just a few days ago the suns guy said the suns would only trade 31 for a legit upgrade. Now they trade it for seconds. They must have something lined up. I do have to give them credit, they are generative. Just depressing they are stuck as a .500 team and can’t get out of it.
The Phoenix Suns are trading their 2031 first-rounder to the Utah Jazz for three first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The Suns are acquiring the least favorable firsts in 2025 of Cleveland/Minnesota, 2027 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah and 2029 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah.
So that´s a high lottery pick in 2031, cause Phoenix has no picks left until then. In 2031 Durant and Butler are retired, Booker is 35. Dunn and Ighodaro are your franchise. Meanwhile you get the 29th/30th pick in 2025 guaranteed, and two non-lottery picks. Even in 2029 Mitchell is just 32, Allen 30, Garland 28, Mobley 27 playing in the shitty East. Minnesota might turn bad with just Edwards 27 and McDaniels 28 in a tough conference and a historically poorly run franchise. Then you still count on Utah being bad in 2029, too.
Not even sure Miami will take Beal and these three picks as enough compensation. LOL.
