Josh Okogie trade targets for the Phoenix Suns to explore
By Matt Escobar
Guards
- Jaden Ivey
- Vasilije Micić
- Gary Harris
- Benndict Mathurin
- Max Christie
- Ayo Dosunmu
The guards make up the most exciting position group because it features multiple talented young players that can help the Suns for years to come.
Ivey has fallen in and out of favor in Detroit so a change of scenery could be coming. Mathurin also saw his role decrease in the loaded backcourt of the Indiana Pacers. Dosunmu seems like he'd be untouchable, but the Chicago Bulls front office has made some baffling decisions so it couldn't hurt to try.
Gary Harris alluded to his desire to remain in Orlando during his exit interview. He mentioned the state of the art facility, weather and upward trajectory as key reasons to return.

Those three, especially Ivey, should be at the top of the Suns' list, but the other guards here would be quality short-term fixes as well. They each bring either playmaking or scoring to the table, and the Suns need both off the bench.
