6. T.J. Warren

(Trade Value: B+)

Obviously there is at least one team in the league that has their eye set on acquiring Warren from Phoenix, although the Orlando Magic are certainly not alone. While Warren is not an outside shooter yet, with his uncanny ability to get to the basket as well as his proficiency in the lost art of mid-range shooting, he has already proven to be a very capable scorer and would be highly coveted from teams who need additional scoring from a young player still under a rookie contract. If the Suns draft Josh Jackson or Jayson Tatum and believe that either one of them has a higher ceiling than Warren, then we may see him traded. However, even if Ryan McDonough has zero interest in trading Warren regardless of the situation, his value on the open market for what he brings to the team and the height of his potential ceiling, would bring Phoenix a very nice return.
