One trade the Phoenix Suns could complete on draft day with every team
By Adam Maynes
Sacramento Kings
Boy, how I wish that six, T.J. Warren, and Josh Jackson was a viable offer for Marvin Bagley III…James Jones should offer that package for sure, but he’ll never get it accepted.
Then again, Vlade Divac…
Honestly: the exact same offer for De’Aaron Fox…
But what about Josh Jackson and 32 for Bogdan Bogdanovic and 40, 47, and their 2021 first round pick lottery-protected.
The Suns need as many shooters as possible, and at the moment, Josh Jackson is not that shooter. Bogdan is, and the former Phoenix first round pick would be coming home, although two years later than he should have.
One might think that that additional first round pick is unnecessary, but for all of his foibles, Jackson is still four years younger, was a top-five pick, has a tremendous ceiling if a coach could only tap into it, and has two years remaining on his rookie contract compared to Bogdan’s one.
Keeping it lottery-protected at first protected Sacramento, and with their record last season, it might be transferred with the first go around.
