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

Oh how I’d love for the Suns to acquire Michael Porter Jr.
If I were in James Jones’ shoes I’d offer six for him, but due to the hype coming out of college, even with his missed rookie season due to back surgery, that’s probably nowhere near enough.
Unfortunately too, if the Suns were to offer a player for Porter (for instance T.J. Warren or Josh Jackson), that too would be a huge risk because of the fear that Porter’s back will never fully heal.
Even with his lack of development and now the arrest on his record making Jackson potentially a headache too much to deal with, would you trade him for Porter with the risk that Porter never plays again?
So how about Juan Hernangomez for the 32nd overall pick.
Denver saves a little bit of money and Hernangomez would at least be the Suns’ backup power forward which for a team that does not have a starter, yet is not a bad start himself (to resolving the problem).
