Ranking every Phoenix Suns asset based on tradability

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, every player and pick in the Suns’ possession right now was available for trade. How would they each rank at potential return? Who/what would net the Suns the most in a potential trade, and who/what would be garner the least?

Okay, so to answer the question of who/what would garner the Suns the most possible return in a trade is obvious: Devin Booker. I’m not going to trick or fool you there. We all know that and so does the rest of the league. But that doesn’t mean that there is a steep drop-off from there. As a young team, the Suns have a decent amount of players that if traded would net Phoenix a solid return. There does come a point where there is a drop-off, and then a second drop where players lack even first round value in return. Some of those players in the drop-off are disappointing because they once held much greater value. But all is not lost, because there are still ways of wringing value from a seemingly value-less commodity. It’s all in how a trade is worked out.

If Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough wants to make a splash on the trade market this offseason, he can. He has in his disposal some very valuable trade pieces. How he turns any of them into a positive return for Phoenix is the ultimate question – if anyone is even traded at all.
