Saying goodbye to Marquese Chriss, a future that never became the present

In terms of total acquisition cost, the two players in whom Suns GM Ryan McDonough invested most of his professional capital were Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss.

In a complicated string of moves before and since, with assets traded upon assets, the acquisition of Chriss alone came at the cost of Isaiah Thomas, Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris and Bogdan Bogdanovic (not to mention Skal Labissiere and Georgios Papagiannis).

That’s a (to-be) All-Star, another pair of playoff-level starters and a second-team All-Rookie player.
