At this point in the NBA season, teams know what they need. At least, they’d better.
After all, the trade deadline is rapidly approaching. Soon enough, teams won’t be able to fulfill whatever needs they may have.
The Phoenix Suns may have more than one need. This team could use a replacement for the absent Jae Crowder.
On the other hand, they could also find someone to take the reigns from Chris Paul as he inevitably ages into retirement.
By contrast, some would argue the Charlotte Hornets only have one need – to continue tanking. On the other hand, if you’re strictly looking at their roster, they could use a long-term starting center.
Could these two teams satisfy each other’s needs this season?
