The Suns aren’t exactly the flashiest team and not even the brightest one in the league right now, despite their name. However, they’re one of the smarter teams. Phoenix was mentioned in Kyrie Irving trades about sixty-thousand times this summer and nothing ever happened with them. That was all because of the one player they refused to give up: Josh Jackson.
Anyone who follows the NBA casually knows that Kyrie Irving is better than Josh Jackson. Jackson is a rookie who has yet to play one minute of meaningful basketball, and even though he has the looks of being a really above average two-way player, he might never play a meaningful minute in the pros.
