Will the Suns continue? US media recommends three transactions to exchange for 4 rounds of picks: the lineup will be further younger

Phoenix claimed Goodwin, who was cut by the Lakers, and signed Jared Butler. As a result, the Suns' 15+3 rosters are already complete, but the Suns' operations are not over yet. According to NBA reporter Brett Siegel, the team is still actively selling Allen and O'Neal Jr., and are willing to send Richards away if they have the conditions.

US media FW believes that the Suns' operations will definitely continue. They have hoarded a lot of young wings and insiders. The contracts of Allen, O'Neal Jr. and Richards can be used to continue to exchange for future draft picks. Although they cannot exchange for first-round picks, the second-round picks are definitely no problem. As a young team with Booker and Green as the core, they need future assets.

The first trade suggests that the Suns and Hornets will send Connaughton, Dinwiddie, the Trail Blazers/Pelicans in 2027, and the Nuggets will win Allen in the second round in 2029. (The Suns can cut Dinwiddie's lineup and continue to be younger)

The second transaction suggests that the Suns trade with the Wizards, the Wizards send out Blanham, the second round of the Celtics/Trail Blazers in 2029, and the second round of the Suns pick in 2026, and the third round of the Suns get O'Neal Jr.;

The Suns trade with the Nets, the Nets send out Jaylen Wilson, and the second round of the Hawks get Richards. [These three transactions have won 4 round picks for the Suns]

The Suns paid 5 first rounds and 5 first round swaps when they exchanged Durant and Bill, and they need to regain their future draft picks. At present, Durant's transaction has exchanged 1 first round + 1 second round for the Suns. If Allen, O'O, and Richards can exchange 4 second rounds, at least they can help the Suns get some blood back. The Suns formed the three giants of Bill, Durant and Bill now, it is a loss, so they can only try their best to recover their losses.
