Five 3-team trades the Phoenix Suns can get involved with Anthony Davis

I’ll be honest that I stretched this one a little bit (maybe a lot), but I would love to rid Phoenix of two small forwards while also acquiring Jayson Tatum who’s future I am extremely excited for.
Tatum had a little bit of a statistical drop back this past season from his rookie year, although I do not believe that Boston has either lost faith in him or that the Pelicans wouldn’t be excited to have him.
The Suns’ involvement in this trade would simply be to essentially flip Tatum for Warren while retaining their sixth overall pick, whilst also still giving New Orleans another first round pick by offering the (admittedly worthless) Bucks’ pick.
This trade isn’t all that great for the Pelicans, although pairing Zion up with good outside shooters in T.J. Warren, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart, offers New Orleans a very young core that to a man can light it up from the outside, all of whom could be be built around, with three first round picks to boot to continue to add youth to the roster over the next two drafts.
