Who knew that the Troy Daniels trade right before training camp would come full circle at the trade deadline?
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Phoenix Suns have acquired former Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton for the second round pick Memphis sent originally alongside Daniels. It has been officially confirmed by a team source to Bright Side of the Sun.
The pick will likely convey anywhere from the 30s to 40s on draft night, dependent on where the Grizzlies finish in the standings.
Payton will be a restricted free agent this summer, so making a move like this is a gamble well worth taking.
