Phoenix Suns

Trade assets: 1. Devin Booker 2. Kevin Durant 3. Deandre Ayton 

It was somewhat of a disappointing ending for the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Playoffs this past season but the hope is that they’ll be able to retool somewhat during the offseason and bounce back as a contender once again next year. With the way that Devin Booker played in this year’s playoffs, he’s easily the Suns’ biggest trade piece heading into the future.

Even in the latter stages of his career, Kevin Durant is another player that would demand a huge return via trade. Not only is he a key to the team’s championship success, but he also represents the team’s second-best trade asset – it should be noted, that he would be many team’s best trade asset.

As polarizing as he may be, Deandre Ayton is the Suns’ third-best trade asset. He may not be the greatest fit on the Suns, but he’s still one of the most talented young big men in the league.
