 Forward: Aaron Gordon

Ideally, pairing Aaron Gordon, who probably fits best at the power forward spot, with Luka Doncic would be a headache for opposing teams to try and stop in transition.

The Orlando Magic are hesitant to keep the high flyer. Should they part ways with the former Arizona standout (hint, hint), the Suns should swoop in with the amount of cap space they’ll have come June.

The Suns need more proven players and Gordon fits the bill. Coming off career highs in points, assists, rebounds, and steals.

This move would also send Chriss or Bender to bench assuming one or the other remains with the team. Giving them more time to develop.
