29. Phoenix Suns (6-24)

There’s not much to say about the Phoenix Suns and them improving on the court, but they did just pull off a trade in which they sent Trevor Ariza to the Wizards in exchange for Kelly Oubre Jr. and Austin Rivers.

Rivers gives them an answer at the point guard position for the time being while taking a flier on Oubre Jr. could be very beneficial for both parties. He’s a restricted free agent after the season, and won’t cost the Suns anything regardless of what happens the rest of this season.

I’m not sure if this trade makes the Suns any better, but it’ll be interesting to see how a young talented player like Oubre Jr. will fit next to the likes of Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.
