Woj: Suns said no to Kristaps Porzingis for Josh Jackson swap on draft night in 2017

Following the stunning Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas trade bombshell on Thursday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a Suns-related tidbit on his podcast that will pain some Phoenix fans.

“Oh, they weren’t rumors,” Woj said of the Porzingis-Suns rumors leading up to the 2017 draft. “Phoenix, if they were willing to give up the No. 4 pick, which was Josh Jackson, they would’ve gotten him.”

That’s a tough pill to swallow looking back on that exchange, especially for how low the cost would’ve been before Porzingis even tore his ACL.
