Phoenix Suns

They may have never actually submitted a trade offer but it was widely believed that the Phoenix Suns had the appropriate assets required to poach James Harden from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

SB Nation reported that “When it came down to it, the Suns were not willing to part with the pieces required to get Harden at this time.”

I’m sure, looking back at it, that the Suns would’ve been more than happy to part with whatever assets necessary to bring Harden to the desert. Especially considering that we now know what Harden would eventually turn into.

Phoenix fans – you are free to express your frustration, sadness and anger without judgement
