The Phoenix Suns recently released starting point guard Isaiah Canaan, which means the Atlanta Hawks are in a prime position to trade backup point guard Jeremy Lin to Phoenix.
After Isaiah Canaan was released by the Phoenix Suns, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, many teams will likely be looking to deal a point guard to the Suns for assets or a draft pick.
While either Markelle Fultz (who is also a Hawks trade candidate) or John Wall of the Wizards will almost certainly be on the team’s list for potential starting PG candidates, there is one under-the-radar candidate that the Atlanta Hawks could offer up01 in a trade with the Suns: nine-year NBA veteran Jeremy Lin.
