Atlanta Hawks

I don’t love the fit of Dennis Schroder on the Suns, but he’d be an instant upgrade over the alternative options. Getting the 18th pick, plus the 4th overall as well and a starting point guard for moving down to someone who probably fits better like Josh Jackson makes a lot of sense.

Much like the Kings trade, Phoenix would have a very solid backcourt that based on age would have many years together, plus, since Schroeder is an accomplished veteran already, he would likely make the transition an extremely smooth one pushing the Suns to be a better team right away.

This wouldn’t be a sexy decision, but it’d be a solid one.
