Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal 

With that said, sometimes the line between a want and a need can be a little blurry. 

For example, the Suns sure could have used DeRozan in the 2021-22 Western Conference Semis. This offense eventually got stagnant. One might argue that they needed a safety valve. 

DeRozan could have been the perfect one. His ability to create shots for himself and others at will would have been a great benefit to the Suns. As it stands, they rely almost entirely on Chris Paul and Devin Booker to do so. 

Forgive us if this is too bold, but we could see DeRozan functioning as a super sixth man on this team. Yes, he’s overqualified, but the Suns could badly use someone to carry their second unit.

Should the Bulls really part with such a dynamic offensive player?
