The Phoenix Suns have been heat checking under the radar for quite some time now. They have one if not the best up & coming rosters with legit depth on paper from the 1-3 positions. With the acquisition of Brandan Wright and Reggie Bullock incoming shipments from the short deal last week, one can only believe that they will remain active during the February trade deadline.

Possible outgoing shipments

• Gerald Green – Contract negotiations 
• Tyler Ennis – Does not fit within the system for long-term plans (Bledsoe, Dragic, Thomas)
• Archie Goodwin – "Spoiled contract"/Depth in front of him stunts his experience to develop

 Add Miles Plumley, possibly Isaiah Thomas to your outgoing list.

 There should be a market for someone like Miles Plumlee.  Blocks, rebounds and a high field goal percentage.  Athletic center.  Not a lot of skills, no range on his shot, but a big guy in the paint to dunk the ball and foul people on defense.

The Suns wanted a first rounder, there must be some team willing to do that deal.

The Suns, with Len in the middle, don’t need Plumlee but other teams do.  Don’t expect the brothers to reunite in Brooklyn, the Nets have zero picks to trade.  Plus the brothers have the same good and bad parts to their games, and Mason is better anyway.

A lot of teams need some blocks, maybe Toronto want some more size.  Magic are last in blocks, but won’t want to trade their picks for a backup for Vucevic.  A contender or a team pushing for the playoffs could use Plumlee off the bench, and Houston, Detroit, Atlanta and Dallas could use a bigger backup center.

For a team wanting Ennis, the Raptors would seem like the obvious destination.  G Green has been a bargain for the Suns financially, it might make sense to trade him away if they intend to keep Dragic and Bledsoe and Thomas.  Don’t know where he or Goodwin are good fits around the NBA.  Maybe Atlanta can use an athletic backup behind Korver, to improve their roster as they are expecting a deep playoff run, so Green might be an option there.

What about Dragic? Isn’t he a FA after this season. While he is a bigtime player for the Suns, is he happy about not being a full-time PG? Would be terrible to lose him for nothing. Do they trade him before the deadline???

Good question…My guess would be ‘no’ and I think they’ll try and lock him up long term. He and Bledsoe have been, for the most part, successful together

I think they will hold on to Ennis until Dragic FA is settled this summer, and I don’t see them keeping 4 PG on the roster next year.
