The Phoenix Suns have had a busy outdoor season that has reformed their selection around Devin Booker, and at the moment all the extra schedule movements that take place will only be due to an opportunity that is too good to reject. Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors once fit in that category, but all serious commercial discussions between the two parties started long ago.
This is because Phoenix simply does not have many players who are currently excited, although the trade theadline that could be a different story. Their three most likely boys are moved – Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale and Nick Richards – the kind of players where a fringe kandper tries to try to add that extra man for a play -off push.
Chance to add Devin Carter now a possibility for sunbathing.
As training camps get closer to the competition, a final name has emerged that the Suns should have enormous interest. Devin Carter from the Sacramento Kings, a player who thought this writer had to target Phoenix for a long time before the prospect that it would actually happen was a possibility. But according to Jake FischerThe kings can move Carter to bring in none other than Russell Westbrook.
Although signing Westbrook would be a disaster for Sacramento and completely on the brand for that franchise, the Suns could get a real asset here. Carter is only 23 years old, is already a nice defensive player, since he has only played one season in the competition and also plays the position of the Point Guard. That checks many compartments for the Suns while they want to build for the future.
He does not cost a lot of money and also has a clear need for playing by playing one, a place that is probably booker at the moment to start the season. It is clear that the Front Office is trying to build a more defensive group, and Carter would fit very well alongside Dillon Brooks, Ryan Dunn and Mark Williams.
It is also clear that Carter has an elite defensive potential, and Phoenix looks like a great place to bloom that. It is clear that for that reason the fit is excellent – so much better than Bradley Beal in the past, for example – but Carter is also very logical as a foil for Jalen Green.
Given the inability of the kings to get out of their own way – and despite the lack of design capital that the Suns now have – a deal here is possible here. Sacramento probably tries to create space for Westbrook, so it is possible that two or three seconds round picks can let the two parties talk to an exchange.
It is unclear what that would mean for Jared Butler in the valley – or even Jordan Goodwin in that respect – but that would be a big problem to have. If the Suns want a solution for medium to long term in the position of the Point Guard – and someone who loves the idea of defending Elite players – then they have to inquire about Carter as quickly as possible. It has the chance to be their stem for the low season.
