Cam Johnson should mostly be off-limits in any non-needle-moving trade, but if it’s a move that can elevate the team then you do it. Shamet has a reasonable contract as well. The expiring contracts in Crowder and Saric are easy sells to rebuilding teams. Trade future picks if you need to for the top-tier talent or if you’re able to kill two birds with one stone in terms of needs. KJ Martin is also a name that makes sense and Phoenix has been tied to him multiple times as well, though I’ve soured on any pairing of him and Eric Gordon. Phoenix has been tied to Vanderbilt time and time again, and if they could add him ALONG with a player above to boost the offensive output, that’s a best-case scenario. This market is fairly dry in terms of names that fit this second bill, but the Vandy and Martin fits intrigue me a lot. Siakam and DeRozan are the least likely, and everyone underneath them has a fairly solid chance of being dealt ahead of the deadline. I’ll simply list (in order of preference) my favorite trade targets that are realistic for the Suns. This will not be a deep dive regarding fit, player scouting reports, or anything otherwise. Improve the roster with additions that help you now and when Booker, Johnson, and others return. A lot has to go right, and at this moment it feels like everything is going wrong, but this season is far from lost. James Jones and Suns fans alike understand how difficult it is to put yourself in a position to win a championship. and that’s something Phoenix still has a chance to do. Yes, home-court advantage is nice to have, but health and peaking at the right time are far more important. Playoff seeding truly doesn’t matter in this day and age. The Western Conference is still WIDE OPEN, and that isn’t changing any time soon. I’ve seen some fans suggest the team should rest up and get ready for next season. The worst part about this is that the Booker and Johnson totals figure to keep on stacking up as they collectively miss at least the next couple of weeks during a tough stretch. That statistic does NOT include Crowder’s missed time either, since it is not due to injury. The key players missing time combined with Jae Crowder deciding to sit at home have led them to the top spot in VORP lost to injuries. Phoenix has arguably been the most impacted team by injuries this season, which are honors no team is happy to claim the rights to. This news does not mean it’s time to fold, it’s quite the opposite in a Western Conference that is uninspiring from top to bottom. The news is obviously brutal on many levels, especially when considering the string of injuries the Suns are already dealing with. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks.- Phoenix Suns December 28, 2022 The Nuggets rank second in the NBA with 116.6 points scored per 100 possessions, and 19th defensively with 113 points conceded per 100 possessions.INJURY UPDATE: Further evaluation has confirmed that Devin Booker has sustained a left groin strain.Denver connects on 11.9 three-pointers per game (17th in the league), while its opponents have made 11.3 on average.In their previous 10 games, the Nuggets are putting up 109.6 points per game, 6.3 fewer points than their season average (115.9).Denver is 47-6 when it scores more than 111.3 points.The Nuggets score an average of 115.9 points per game, only 4.6 more points than the 111.3 the Suns give up.
