In 2014-15, the biggest trade asset the Phoenix Suns held was one of two Los Angeles Lakers first round picks acquired in the Steve Nash trade. It was heavily protected at first, but had the opportunity to eventually become totally unprotected. And with the Lakers not appearing to be on the rise at all, it had a chance of being a top-10 pick when it was finally transferred.
But, on February 19, 2015, the craziest trade deadline day in Phoenix Suns History, Ryan McDonough sent that pick to the Philadelphia 76ers in a package who’s return was essentially Brandon Knight.
