Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal
Arguably, the Suns have more pressing needs than a player like Grant. This team could use a guard who is able to pressure the rim.
Sure. At the same time, the Suns have a more general need – depth. More than anything, they simply need more quality players in their rotation.
Grant meets those criteria. In fact, he would be the third-best player on this team besides Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. As a two-way wing, Grant is perfectly suited for third-banana duties.
This can’t be the only move Phoenix makes this season. They still need a guard, and they’ll have to replace Ayton with a ring-chasing veteran.
