Will the Phoenix SUNS make a move before NBA trade DEADLINE? | Yahoo Sports

The Phoenix Suns seven and three in their last 10 the other one is the LA Clippers who came within a whisker of having teron Lou coach the Western Conference in the All-Star game but Phoenix is 7 to3 in their last 10 they sixth in the west we’re finally able to

See Durant Booker Beal play together Beal dropped a 40 piece on his former team in Washington on Sunday like they gave him they gave him that space to do that and it shows Jake that at any you have three nuclear weapons that can go off offensively how much is that

Going to be of value in the playoffs I’m not sure but they’ve risen to being out of the playin at least for this moment is this sustainable do you believe in it or do you believe Jake that from whatever Intel that you have that they’re looking to shore up some of

Those looser ends around Booker Beal and Durant they’re definitely looking to shore up the looser ends that’s for sure sure I think to the first part of your question I saw Phoenix come here to Brooklyn on Wednesday and then both the sons and myself not together flew to

Atlanta and I was there for their game on Friday at State Farm Marina and just from a couple nights and some pregame and postgame conversations I I said hello to your guy Kevin Durant postgame we had a nice chat I think and we’re seeing it at the end of second quarters

We’re seeing it in in crunch time the Suns really only have six guys three behind the Bradley Beal Kevin Durant dein Booker Trio in Yousef nkit Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon they really only have six guys no disrespect to everyone else on that roster but that’s the that’s the group that I think

The front office and the coaching staff are both aligned that they believe they can go to war with come to playoffs with that being said from the GetGo of Phoenix acquiring Bradley Beal the talk was oh well this team could really benefit to having a backup point guard

And TJ McConnell was on the radar the idea was always well when Bradley Beal’s healthy you know he can essentially be the deao point guard when all three are on the lineup together and then all three of KD Brad and book can vasolate back and forth between having those on

Ball rep rep uh reps excuse me we saw in the Denver Series last year where Chris Paul gets hurt for a couple games and the Suns took a couple games two in a row off the reigning off the reigning Champs Denver now that they’re reigning they were the upcoming Champs at that

Point in time so I don’t think the cause for concern so much in Phoenix is is guard play to me what I’ve been told from various people is that they’re looking for like a big Wing who could really help them fortify those smaller units where Kevin Durant is doing

Everything he can as a small ball five in those lineups he’s go back and watch that Kings game where they overcame the 16o deficit whatever it was he was guarding some he was switching out onto Malik bunk switching out on Aaron Fox he was doing it in Atlanta with going back

And forth between Ona and jayen Johnson and then switching on to Trey and switching on to deante like they they would love to have another beefy wing and the guy that’s clearly at the top of their list is Miles Bridges I’m not so certain that he’s going to be able to be

Acquired by them being that the Suns only have two second round picks I mean they have four second round picks to trade but it seems like they’re really only putting out two second round picks right now to get something done so we’ll see if there’s

Ever real you know closing of the Gap to be done there between Phoenix and Charlotte but to wrap this up yeah I I think they’re clearly looking and they’re clearly looking for players who fit that type of mold you know I’ve been told they like Jan Tate out of Houston

I’ve been told they like Royce O’Neal out of Brooklyn like those types of three four hybrid guys who definitely bring shooting I mean Jason rante is not the same shooter as those other guys but shooting will be important and the the the defensive versatility will be important as well
