Add another out-of-nowhere deal to what is quickly becoming one of the busiest NBA trade deadlines we’ve seen in years — Tyler Johnson is headed to Phoenix along with sharpshooter Wayne Ellington.
Much of the public comment we’ve seen from the front office since former general manager Ryan McDonough was ousted has shown us the vision is changing for the Suns, Phoenix’s private nature around the deadline remains the same. No one saw this coming. We’ve heard over a dozen names at this point but never once did Johnson’s name arise in discussions surrounding the Suns’ hole at point guard.
