Phoenix Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough traded a lot to acquire point guard Brandon Knight from the Milwaukee Bucks in 2015 (most notably a first round pick of the the Los Angeles Lakers’ which was finally transferred this past draft to the Philadelphia 76ers, and was eventually traded back to the Suns in the form of Mikal Bridges at the additional cost of the Miami Heat’s 2021 unprotected first round pick, which had presumed to be highly valuable and worth a lot more than trading up a few spots).
And yet now Knight (and Marquese Chriss) has been traded again, this time for an overpaid veteran power forward and a rookie guard, neither of whom immediately project to be regular rotational player for the Phoenix Suns at any point in the future.
