The Phoenix Suns acquired Landry Shamet in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets last month, giving up Jevon Carter and the 29th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
If there’s anything we know about James Jones, it’s that he loves shooters. Throw in the fact that Monty Williams was on the record to say he (Shamet) is someone “I’d want my daughter to marry” and the fit checks two boxes from a personnel standpoint.
I’ve given this trade some time to digest with free agency in mind, but now that things have settled on that front it seems like an appropriate time to dive into things.
