Proposed Suns trade sees Phoenix deal for $100 million four-time champion to create gritty, defensive duo with Dillon…

The Phoenix Suns are doing better than expected after trading Kevin Durant, sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference with a record of 31-20. However, if they want to make a deep playoff run, having one more star couldn’t hurt.

According to Fansided’s Matt Moore, the Suns may make a move for a key player of a division rival, in Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green.

“Hear me out. The Warriors are desperate for assets and looking for anything to sweeten the pot for the Bucks in exchange for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Green is volatile, and many situations he would go to when separated from Stephen Curry could result in a toxic outcome. Phoenix, though, has potential. Yes, he and Dillon Brooks would hilariously clash. But the Suns have good coaching, good culture. They have a shooting star guard who can also playmake and operate off Green. They have athleticism. They have shooting. They have the things that Green needs to thrive,” Siegel wrote.

So far this season, Green is averaging 8.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 0.9 steals in 26.7 minutes per game. He’d be a defensive menace alongside Brooks, and create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

This trade works for the Warriors as well, as it gives them more cap space to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo. Hopefully, the Suns realize this and get to work on a deal before tomorrow’s deadline.
