No. 3 Suns Trade Brandon Knight to the Spurs for Danny Green & a 2017 First Round Pick
Spurs Receive: PG Brandon Knight
Suns Receive: SG Danny Green, 2017 First Round Pick
Why the Deal Works: The Suns have a logjam at point guard and are looking to move Knight. The Spurs have some talented young wing players that allow them to move Green. Knight potentially gives San Antonio their point guard of the future once Tony Parker hangs it up. He also gives them another scoring guard to throw at the Warriors in the playoffs. The Suns get the benefit of an additional first round pick and another solid young player. Phoenix is looking to move Knight a year too late, but at least least they get something in return for a redundant player on their roster. A lineup featuring Green and Devin Booker at times would prove to be tough for opposing defenses to defend on the perimeter. While the Spurs are not apt to making mid-season deals, this one could make a lot of sense. (Getty)
