Phoenix Suns
Key Moves:
- Acquired Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington for Ryan Anderson (per Adrian Wojnarowski).
The Phoenix Suns didn’t really do much at the NBA Trade Deadline, with the exception of one head-scratching move on. The lone move that the team did make in the days leading up to the trade deadline involved adding Tyler Johnson from the Heat.
They also added Wayne Ellington, but he’s expected to be waived and become a free agent after he clears the wire. This is nothing more than a favor for James Jones‘ old team, you’d think. The Suns didn’t get a pick, either.
The good news is that Johnson could kind of play the point guard position and could help there, plus help in Devin Booker‘s absence. Still, it was a weird move.
