Pro: Medical Staff

Widely regarded as one of the best medical staffs in the association, the Phoenix Suns can be confident that Fultz will be in good hands as he continues to work through shoulder problems. His future could be determined on if his shooting arm can get back to his college days, so having the proper medical staff working with him is more important than some people realize.

Recently, Fultz’s name has been in the headlines a lot, not due to him, but people in his direct camp looking out for his interests. No team wants to deal with negative publicity, and it has been leaked that people in his camp want him moved from Philly.

Keeping his camp happy, while definitely not the most important aspect of a Fultz trade, would be huge in terms of keeping him out of the headlines and focusing on basketball. The young guard needs to be in a place that lessens any pressure and publicity, and keeping him and his camp confident about the hands he is in will play a huge role in that.
