On Tuesday, the Phoenix Suns traded their 2031 first-round draft pick to the Utah Jazz for three first-round picks.
On the surface, it may have looked like a minor move, but it actually set the Suns up for a busy trade deadline.
Speaking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Ryan McDonough said there will be at least one more deal from the Suns in the weeks ahead.
Turning one draft pick into three sets the stage for the Suns to possibly acquire Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat soon.
It’s no secret that the Suns want Butler and it’s also no secret that Butler wishes to team up with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
This gives the Suns more assets to ship around the league as part of any deal that gets them Butler.
But that’s not the only thing they want to do before the February 6 deadline.
