Why A Ja Morant To The Suns Trade WON’T Happen
The idea of the Phoenix Suns trading for Ja Morant has become one of the hottest debates of the NBA offseason. On the surface, adding one of the league’s most electrifying talents next to Devin Booker sounds like a move that could immediately raise the Suns’ ceiling. But would it actually solve Phoenix’s biggest problems—or create even bigger ones?
On this episode of Southwest Bias, Espo shares why the growing Ja Morant-to-Phoenix speculation seems ridiculous and why the former All-NBA guard would not be the right move for the Suns. From roster fit and ball dominance to asset cost, salary implications, and the team’s long-term vision around Booker, we break down why this blockbuster idea may not be as simple as it seems.
Could Ja Morant help push the Suns back into contention? Or would trading for him become the franchise’s biggest mistake in the post-Kevin Durant era?
Join the conversation as we analyze the pros, the cons, and what the move would mean for the future of the Phoenix Suns.

Trade for Ja or we going to have another Beal situation
The Online Insiders are going full Pepe Silvia conspiracy.
Espo doesn’t believe in redemption
I'm with you on this one. Ja is a great player, but he's not the kind of player we need. He's a poor three-point shooter, and while he can definitely attack the rim, he's not a great defender.
Jalen Green isn't a great defender or a true point guard either, but at least he can shoot the three ball. I still hope we can somehow convince Giannis to make us one of his preferred destinations but ultimately, I'd be okay with swapping Green for Dejounte Murray. Murray brings defensive intensity, can run the point,.
I'm also convinced Zion would be a great addition to the team. He fits perfectly at the 4, which is a position where we desperately need an upgrade. I'd much rather see Dillon moved back into a small forward role than continue trying to fill that spot with him.
JA morant belongs in the bargain bin when shopping for players just like Trae young if not for different reasons. I will say until the jury on Jalen Green is decided whether he will become the consistent player his talent suggests he can be his name will appear in rumor trade discussions.
nty on Ja
Agree we need a PF before a PG but we do need both.
Keep Jalen Green 💚😮 . Don't be sorry 😐 , you do not 🚫 want to trade him for anything 😞 period 😔😔😔
I WOULDN'T TRADE GREEN FOR JA BUT I WOULD LOVE BOTH OF THEM PLAYING TOGETHER
