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

Washington Wizards

Again, like Utah, Washington doesn’t really have much that the Suns would actually have any interest in acquiring (through trade, that is. Bobby Portis is a restricted free agent and would be an interesting signing by Phoenix).

As this is the case, the Suns could trade back from six to nine and as the Wizards do not have any additional first round picks, accept their 2020 first round pick.

Although if we are being honest with ourselves, Washington would want to protect it (since they will be without John Wall for the half 2019-20 if not longer) so let’s say lottery protected in 2020, then top-five protected in 2021, and unprotected in 2022.

If one of the second tier guards slides back to six and the Suns do not have interest in him, with Wall out and arguably never going to be the same, plus rumors that Bradley Beal could be on his way out, this would guarantee Washington a lottery ticket of a pick, while giving Phoenix the opportunity to take more of a reach at 9, then have a future pick at their disposal to work with down the line.

Or, the Phoenix Suns could offer this  trade. Actually, that  trade. As in the one in the purple box directly above this sentence. Click on it. I dare you.
