3 players who could be traded after Tyus Jones' arrival
Nassir Little
It could be impossible to trade Nassir Little this season. He has one of the worst contracts in the team. After he signed a four-year, $28 million contract extension with the Portland Trail Blazers, the team traded him to the Suns. Phoenix still owes the forward $21.7 million over the next three seasons and they aren't getting the production his contract demands.

Little was excellent in his final season with the Blazers. He posted 6.6 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 36 percent from beyond the arc. The two-way player was to be a vital three-and-D player to complement the Big 3. However, he struggled to fulfill the offensive side of the expectations for him and only shot 30 percent from beyond the arc.
Trading Little will be tricky since he has a massive contract. No team could be willing to execute a trade for a player struggling to contribute offensively. But with the arrival of Jones, the smart move would be to trade the forward to open up a spot in the roster.
