11. Brandon Knight

(Trade Value: C)

The odd thing about placing Knight this low on this list is that he is probably the most likely player on the roster to be traded. What puts him down here though is that the return Phoenix will get back is likely to be poor – a serious letdown knowing what the Suns had to give up to get him. If Phoenix is able to get a decent first round pick in return for Knight (or at least one as part of a package) then place Ryan McDonough on the Mount Rushmore of Phoenix Suns General Manager’s now. Getting two first round picks for two failed and disgruntled players would be incredible. All indications are though that that is exactly what McDonough tried to do last season and was unable to accomplish. Teams know that the Suns want to unload him so they will hold out until Phoenix lessens their demands for him. If this is the case and that is exactly what ends up occurring, then his projected low value on the market will prove to have been fully – and painfully – accurate.
