Suns Are Emerging As Trade Suitor For Nets Veteran

The Phoenix Suns have gone 4-6 in their last 10 games and will surely attempt something before the upcoming NBA trade deadline.

Will they take a run at Jimmy Butler or sign a different star to bolster their chances?

According to Evan Sidery, the Suns are “a team to watch as a trade suitor for Dorian Finney-Smith.”

“Phoenix is seeking more defensive versatility and size on the wing, which Finney-Smith would provide.”

Sidery added that the Suns can “make salaries work” by trading Jusuf Nurkic or Grayson Allen or involving a third team.

Is Finney-Smith the answer to Phoenix’s problems?

This season, the forward is averaging 10.8 points and 4.3 rebounds.

He is a catch-and-shoot professional who is also helpful with defense, which would greatly assist the Suns.

He is celebrated for his ability to guard multiple types of players and could complement the Suns’ lineup.

Phoenix would be smart to pursue Finney-Smith.

With that being said, there are a number of other teams who have been intrigued by the idea of trading for him, including the Los Angeles Lakers and others.

That means the Suns could have competition for him if they attempt to make a deal.

If the Suns do pursue Finney-Smith, will they make more moves after that?

They are the 11th team in the West and once again not where they want to be, which means they may need a few changes in order to climb back up the standings.

Finney-Smith might be a great addition, but other new players could be coming with him.
