Phoenix Suns Receive: PF Thaddeus Young
San Antonio Spurs Receive: PF Jalen Smith, F/C Dario Saric, 2022 second-round pick
The Phoenix Suns would land Thaddeus Young in this NBA trade scenario from Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz in exchange for Jalen Smith and Dario Saric along with a 2022 second-round pick.
A league source has told NBA Analysis Network that a trade offer from the Phoenix Suns involving Jalen Smith, Dario Saric, and a second-round pick was offered to the Spurs before the season began. San Antonio did not take up the Suns on their offer.
The Spurs sought a first-round pick at the time and never received a trade offer where one was put on the table in talks — keeping Young on the roster entering the season.
Would the Spurs lower their asking price closer to the NBA trade deadline if no team does end up offering a first-round pick? It seems likely considering he is playing on an expiring deal.
