Earlier in the year I made the argument that the Phoenix Suns should target Blake Griffin.

But now that he is out for the season, that ain’t going to happen.

I too would not be entirely  against trading for Andre Drummond if he could be used in the right manner.

However, nothing makes more sense than Derrick Rose for Aron Baynes.

Rose is adding  money to the salary cap next year (which I have been primarily attempting to avoid in these trades), but with how good he can be, h e (maybe more than anyone else discussed yet) helps Phoenix right away, and truthfully, the Suns could add him in a trade this summer again too as he will have a market because of his veteran value (and 2021 expiring contract).

For the Pistons, the trade creates more cap space for them (something they are trying to do in a huge way by dumping off Drummond) as well as helps to expedite the tanking.
