What the Suns really need is a plan. We’ve been active on trade deadlines before, but the moves reeked of panic. I still get night terrors about last season’s trade deadline.
We did what? We traded the Lakers’ pick AND Isaiah Thomas on a front-loaded contract AND Goran Dragic? We took an oversupply of guards and turned it into….an oversupply of guards that can’t stay healthy?
Dragic was going to leave. If you simply accept that fact, then the trade with the Heat was a great move. Two future 1st round picks, including a completely unprotected 2021 1st – a rare unprotected pick.
