How last year’s playoff teams got boosted by the NBA trade deadline

Even if/when everyone comes back healthy, the Phoenix Suns need to make a change quickly — especially as it pertains to holdout Jae Crowder.

They have lost nine of their last 11 games and will be hanging onto their playoff hopes by a single fingernail by the time Devin Booker returns to the court in early February. In the last two games, a full 7 of the Suns top 8 rotation players have been sidelined due to injury or holdout. SEVEN OF EIGHT.

Eventually, those guys will get healthy and return. Probably by Feb 1, the whole team will be back on the court with a chance to make a run over the last 30+ games.
