Why This Trade Would Benefit The Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns put their plan into motion when they won all eight games down in the bubble and were unable to qualify for a postseason spot. The franchise took their time in landing a star to pair with Booker and they finally made the right call. It is about time that Booker gets a chance to participate in the postseason.
This season, it is not only looking like the Suns will get to the postseason but they will be one of the top seeds. Devin Booker and Chris Paul have created one of the best duos in the league and could be looking for that third member. That is what it might take to dethrone the Los Angeles Lakers. Phoenix is full of depth with Mikal Bridges leading the way.
Nikola Vucevic would bring a new dynamic to the offense. He is a big man who can run the floor well and step out and knock down a three. He is shooting 41.6% from beyond the arc this season. Paul would have plenty of options along the perimeter with Vucevic as a pick-and-roll man.

Phoenix is having a taste of success and it is because of the trade they made for Paul. Now, this is a chance to take that to the next level and add another star that could help them accomplish their ultimate goal.
