The Phoenix Suns made a trade before the deadline and although it wasn’t a pretty one, it was not a bad one. The team didn’t bring in a flashy play maker or a player likely to be the future at the point guard position. None of what fans were getting excited about in the prospect of Lonzo Ball is true in the acquisition of Tyler Johnson. However, that isn’t the way to look at this move.
This deal makes a lot of sense for several reasons and the front office should get kudos for it, not backlash.
