OUT – Greg Monroe’s expiring contract, Tyler Ulis, Jared Dudley, Josh Jackson, Marquese Chriss, Tyson Chandler, 2018 and 2019 1st round picks (via Miami), own 2019 1st round pick
IN – Kemba Walker, Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Love

That is DEFINITELY  a BLOCKBUSTER!!!

Why would Phoenix do this?

The better question is why wouldn’t  the Suns do this? The current point guard’s are Ulis and Isaiah Canaan. Ulis gets sent out for an immense upgrade in Kemba Walker who would make a deadly back court with Booker.

Josh Jackson has the potential to be a Kawhi Leonard-typ, but if you have a chance for a sure thing you get it.

Kevin Love has issues with his current teammates, but with a chance to be part of something special and away from those players it very well may not be a problem at all and for someone with his skill and stats you take that chance. Chandler and Monroe would be gone at center but Alex Len could step up and be that solid starter many are wanting him to have the chance to be.

Think about this…

STARTERS – Kemba Walker, Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Love and Alex Len
BENCH – Isaiah Canaan, Troy Daniels, Davon Reed, TJ Warren and Dragan Bender
*Alan Williams could slide in as a backup big once healthy.*

Next: If the Suns are going to be aggressive in free agency, they must be equally as aggressive in trades.

Before every one goes crazy, let me repeat that this is purely for entertainment purposes and is extremely unlikely to happen. However, each team could agree to something similar with individual two team deals so let’s put them all together. Even if it leads to laughing on the other side of the phone, Ryan McDonough would get a lot of kudos for at least trying to pull this rabbit out of his magic hat.

This could be McDonough’s McMove.
