5. Trade Down
It’s not often you see teams trade down when they have the No. 1 overall pick. However, we did see the Boston Celtics do just that last year when they made a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. They seem to be doing pretty fine right now.
Could the Suns try to pull a Boston or Philly by accumulating more assets and players by trading down? Phoenix also has Nos. 16, 31, and 59 in the draft, and they are likely to trade them.
“I think it’s very unlikely we bring three or four rookies to training camp next year,” McDonough added.
If the right deal comes, could McDonough pull the trigger?
