Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal
Some will argue that whenever a team acquires the best player in a deal, they win it. The Suns may test that theory with this deal.
After all, they’ll certainly miss their outgoing players here. That holds especially true on the defensive end. Ayton is an upgrade over Towns there, and we already spoke to Bridges’ proficiency.
Sure. On the other hand: the Suns are getting Karl-Anthony Towns here. He has to be worth the price. The Suns may be impossible to guard after landing him.
In simple terms, he’ll provide them with spacing they’ve never had at the 5. That’s underselling him. Towns is one of the most offensively gifted big men we’ve ever seen.

Between him, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul, the Sun would boast a multifaceted offensive attack that put defenses in a nightly bind.
In all likelihood, this team would be what it appeared to be.
