How the Suns could trade for EVERY draft pick

7th Pick

This is kind of a crazy trade, but I feel it would benefit both teams. The T’Wolves move up in the draft to take either Tatum or Isaac. They also get a young, controllable guard in Knight, who provides a big scoring punch off the bench, as well as a good veteran wing in Jared Dudley, who can play either forward position, shoot, and defend. Plus they get the 2nd pick in the second round as well. The Suns move back three spots, and still get the man they want. They pick up a deadweight contract in Pekovic, who they would release. But mainly they get Zach Lavine, and they can play him in the spot he’s best suited for, scoring sixth man off the bench. Lavine’s defense is even worse than Booker’s, but he can handle, shoot, and pass. He brings superior athleticism and good length to the shooting guard position, and in certain situations, Lavine and Booker could be on the floor at the same time.

The Suns can still theoretically get Isaac here, and they also pick up Lavine and get rid of Knight. This would be a huge deal for Phoenix, but it’s not likely the Timberwolves would want to move up for anybody at four that badly. Isaac has a lot of potential, and if he can develop his game and bulk up more, he’s a great fit for Phoenix, either at the three, four, or even five.
