SMALL –  Marquese Chriss for Markieff Morris

Just kidding. How about a 2018 2nd round pick (via Milwaukee) for Tim Frazier? He’s 27, averaging 3.7 assists in 15.5 minutes this season and take it back to the chance he got in 2015-16 with New Orleans where he averaged 13.1 points, 7.5 assists and 1.4 steals on 41.9% shooting from down town.

BIG – Marquese Chriss, Alex Len, Jared Dudley, Brandon Knight and the Suns’ 2019 protected 1st round pick for Bradley Beal and Ian Mahinmi

Otto Porter and Kelly Oubre Jr next to John Wall with Brandon Knight as the 1st guard off the bench is a good replacement for Beal. Add in ‘Quese who could battle it out with ‘Kieff for the starting PF spot and Alex Len who could take Marcin Gortat’s place with the team shopping him. That’s not a bad haul, especially when you are dumping Mahinmi’s insane contract from your payroll. For the Suns, Booker and Beal in the back court could have fans feeling some kinda way.

Next: It is time to move on from Marquese Chriss

That’s it for possible trade scenarios with Eastern Conference teams. Check out the Western Conference piece as it comes up.
