Brandon Knight
Yesterday John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 discussed the trade possibility of Brandon Knight. Unfortunately for Suns fans, he spoke of a truth that we all know, yet wish to ignore: that Knight is analytically one of the worst players in the entire league, a as such is a player that is currently not drawing any attention from potential trade partners. If this is the case, then not only might the Suns be forced to hold onto Knight beyond the trade deadline, but the type of talent that Suns fans have been wishing for in return may only be a pipe dream with no real foothold in reality.
Making a trade involving Brandon Knight could be tough for the Suns https://t.co/uPbFAgjDwM

In addition to Knight’s terrible lack of production, his contract is extremely bloated for the numbers he puts up. While the NBA’s salary cap continues to skyrocket, if the Suns do not want a player with his contract and poor production on their team, why would anybody else?
