One trade the Phoenix Suns could complete on draft day with every team
By Adam Maynes
Utah Jazz
Number six overall for Donovan Mitchell. Straight up.
Unfortunately, outside of Donovan, there really isn’t anyone else the Suns either need, want, or that Utah would ever consider giving up.
The best I can think of is if someone who James Jones believes should have been a high lottery pick slides into the 20’s, Utah is at 23.
Swapping 32 plus Milwaukee’s second round pick might get Phoenix there, although I have used that same trade twice before, the problem is that for those teams in the mid-20s, they are already pretty good and don’t want to subtract but rather add.
The Suns could certainly add to the Jazz’ core by throwing them T.J. Warren, but for what in return?
I’d say a future first, however if the rumors of Mike Conley to the Utah Jazz are true, then Utah is going to need to pinch every penny they can.
