Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal 

More than anything, the Suns may need a culture reset at the moment. 

In all likelihood, you heard about Robert Sarver. The (soon-to-be former) team owner’s scandalous behavior shocked the NBA world. Moreover, Deandre Ayton appears unhappy with the organization as well. There seems to be considerable trouble in paradise here. 

This trade could alleviate it. Collins, in all likelihood, would be content with a fresh start. Meanwhile, Capela already has experience working with Chris Paul as former members of the Houston Rockets. In all likelihood, they’d pick up where they left off – with elite pick-and-roll chemistry. 

Furthermore, the basketball fit is nice here too. Both players would slot instantly into the starting lineup.

If everything clicks with this group, their expectations will grow sky high.
