Josh Okogie trade targets for the Phoenix Suns to explore
By Matt Escobar
Wings
- Simone Fontecchio
- KJ Martin
- Jeff Green
- Kelly Oubre
- Jae'Sean Tate
The Suns made it a priority to address the wing position in the early part of the offseason by re-signing Rocye O'Neale, drafting Ryan Dunn, and picking up Jalen Bridges. As such, they don't necessarily need another wing, but they are relying quite a bit on Dunn to be a factor right out of the gate. If he and Bridges don't hit the ground running, then the Suns would suddenly be extremely shallow at that position.
This group is replete with veteran wings who can step in and contribute immediately. Jeff Green embodies that as much as any of them. He's one of the oldest players in the league, yet has thrived as a role player for years. He and Tate's one year deals make them more appealing than anyone else since they wouldn't block the Suns players beyond this season.
It never hurts to have long-term insurance though, and a reunion with Kelly Oubre would be welcome. Philly might be more inclined to give up Martin, who underperformed for them last year, but that's also why the Suns should stay away.
Fontecchio is the most intriguing player on this list since he showed out in an extremely small sample size last season. The Pistons are in a clear rebuild which could make an older player like him available.
