Trade 1: Denver
Denver is not on the list of desired destinations for Irving. That wouldn’t really matter to Denver though if they think he can make them a winning team and thus convince him to stay beyond two years.
The Suns talked to Denver about a Bledsoe deal during the draft, but apparently decided that a package of Mudiay and a mid-first round pick wasn’t enough. Adding in Cleveland could help sweeten the pot enough for the Suns to take a deal:
Denver Receives: Kyrie Irving
Cleveland Receives: Eric Bledsoe, Jared Dudley, and Trey Lyles
Phoenix Receives: Iman Shumpert, Darrell Arthur, James Nelson, Emmanuel Mudiay, Denver 2019 pick (top-10 protected), and Cleveland 2020 pick (top-10 protected)
