Something may seem perfect in theory. In practice, you may find its flaws. The same holds true for NBA teams.
A team may make a big trade, look at their roster, and think they’ve got no room for improvement. They may end up being wrong.
For example, look at the Phoenix Suns. When this team acquired Kevin Durant, they may have thought they’d assembled the perfect team.
To be sure, they’ve got as much talent as anyone in the NBA. What they don’t have is a player who consistently pressures the rim.
The Suns rely almost solely on jump shots. So far, that’s appeared to be an issue in their first-round matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Could they fix the issue by trading Deandre Ayton for Terry Rozier of the Charlotte Hornets?
