Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal
There is a clear difference between these two teams. The Celtics are deep, while the Suns are top-heavy.
They’ll still be looking to contend for the NBA title next season. The Suns’ decision to acquire Kevin Durant locked them into that position. With that in mind, they need to shore up their depth.
That’s part of the logic here. Pritchard should be in this team’s day-one rotation. He’s a solid point guard and a knockdown three-point shooter. Still, he’s not the main draw here.

That would be Williams. At this point, he’s the best player in this deal. The only reason he’d even be available is because the Celtics are being backed into a sign-and-trade here.
In that situation, anything is better than nothing.
