2. Nassir Little
If David Roddy possibly getting moved in future is one thing, then Nassir Little's chance of being traded this summer are much greater. Not only is he on a long-term deal (three-years, $22 million) that would mean a team that trades for him has him under contract for a while, but his productivity is on another level to his teammate's.
Little has appeared in 34 games - while also notching up a pair of starts - and has managed to stay on the court for 12.5 minutes per night in those games. As much as he sometimes can go on little scoring runs, while also applying himself defensively when surrounded by better teammates on that end, there just isn't space for Little with this group.
I wonder if Donovan Mitchell misses tomorrow’s game too. He got a PRP injection, same with Nassir Little

He's not better than Grayson Allen or Royce O'Neale at anything, while Eric Gordon is the veteran that coach Vogel prefers to go with. He's capable of knocking down a 3-pointer or two, while Little has shot under 32 percent from deep this season. Much like Roddy though, he is only 23-years-old and has some upside.
Two seasons ago he scored nearly 10 a game for the Portland Trail Blazers, and he's making the kind of money that can be easily moved. Perhaps to recoup some of the draft stock that the Suns no longer have, or perhaps to turn him into a veteran down the road who helps this team to win more games now. Either way, Little is most likely gone this summer, and it makes sense for everybody.
