Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have been two completely different teams this season. When they’ve been healthy, they’ve been one of the best teams in the Western Conference. However, when they haven’t been healthy, they’ve struggled mightily. So much so that ever since the injury bug started hurting the Suns, they’ve fallen all the way outside the top 8 in the conference.
Assuming the Suns are going to get healthy eventually, this is a team that will be looking for some help in the frontcourt heading into the NBA Trade Deadline. And the Suns should view Rui Hachimura as a potential deadline target.
He could add some insurance for the team behind Cameron Johnson, who is expected to return from injury soon, and would give the team the versatility to play many different lineups. With the rumored Suns’ aggressiveness heading into the trade deadline, I would be shocked if they weren’t at least somewhat interested in a potential deal for Hachimura.
