Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal 

We already alluded to the drama surrounding these Suns. Some of it owes to Jae Crowder. 

In fact, the veteran forward has made a trade request. Allegedly, he’s not happy that Cameron Johnson is slated to take his starting spot. With that in mind, the Suns have an incentive to move him. 

By contrast, their incentive to move Paul is less obvious. That doesn’t mean it’s non-existent. Paul is 37, which puts him way off the same timeline as the rest of this Suns core. Paul’s name may not currently be trending in trade rumors, but Phoenix moving him is not unthinkable. 

After all, it may be best for this team to take a step back. There is a talented young core here – they don’t need to blow it up.
