The Suns have the assets to make trades work. The Emeka Okafor contract is gold, the Suns have a stockpile of draft picks and they have some desirable pieces like Markieff Morris, Channing Frye and Gerald Green. Will the Suns be buyers at the deadline? General Mananger Ryan McDonough will be on the lookout, that’s for sure.
In my opinion, the biggest hole to fill is in the middle. While Miles Plumlee has played much better than anyone could have imagined, the Suns still need a rim protector who is an above-average defensive rebounder. Alex Len has been disappointing and the Suns really don’t have anyone else. Watch the Suns closely as the deadline comes on Thursday, February 20th.
