One trade the Phoenix Suns could complete on draft day with every team
By Adam Maynes

Seriously: with Deandre Ayton now in the fold, would you swap the sixth and 32nd overall picks, Milwaukee’s 2020 first, the Suns’ 2021 first, and Devin Booker for Damian Lillard?
Lillard is about to turn 29 in July, but has never really missed any time in his career, is absolutely unreal right now, almost single-handedly carried Portland to the Western Conference Finals, and who knows – if they played the Golden State Warriors who will be there next season, they might have won.
Dame immediately makes the Phoenix Suns a playoff team, and with a move like that might inspire one more solid player (such as Tobias Harris or Julius Randle) to sign here, then who knows, while Portland remains solid and gets a lot younger.
Think about it.
Otherwise, 32 and Milwaukee’s first for 25th overall, and insert the same spiel as I outlined with the similar Philadelphia trade.
