The Phoenix Suns are trading their 2031 unprotected first to the Utah Jazz for three first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The Suns are acquiring the least favorable firsts in 2025 of Cleveland/Minnesota, 2027 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah and 2029 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah.
How can they swap 3 firsts for 1, 6 years from now, albeit potentially different on the final board? It seems like half a deal to me… And Utah is definitely not believing in anything it has, I hope Markkannen at least will find his way out of there
Pretty much 95% of the Finnish basketball fans want Markkanen out of Utah. It’s nightmare to watch Jazz games in this rebuild mode.
Looks like they wanted some flexibility with picks and the Jazz probably figure the 2031 pick is going to be a high pick.
Suns probably going to throw those picks into some trade
100%, I’m guessing either the Heat or some other team wanted picks a little sooner than 2031 even if they’re lower.
