Phoenix Suns trade target: Nerlens Noel

The Phoenix Suns have quietly been one of the most impressive teams in the Western Conference this season. The arrival of Chris Paul has been great for the continued development of Devin Booker and the rest of this roster.

However, heading into the NBA trade deadline, if there’s one area in which the Suns can improve it is at the frontcourt. One name to keep an eye on as a potential target is Nerlens Noel of the New York Knicks.

If New York is willing to move Noel, there’s no question that he could find a nice home with the Suns. He’s a big active body that is a good defender and would help this team and its depth.
