The Phoenix Suns are in desperate need of a power forward, a backup point guard, and really – just some buzz of excitement.
Dario Saric is not a starter in the NBA (at least at this point in his career); Frank Kaminsky is nothing to rely upon either; after his great start, Aron Baynes has been, well, Aron Baynes; and while we might hope that Elie Okobo can be a decent backup someday, he cannot be counted on in a playoff race.
Of course, by this trade deadline, James Jones is likely seeking a star player above all others, someone who can group up with Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Kelly Oubre; the kind of player that might actually make the Phoenx Suns a formidable team in the Western Conference – and certainly a tough out in the playoffs this summer.
