Leading up to this year’s NBA trade deadline, the Phoenix Suns were reported to have interest in upgrading their power forward position.
Among the names floated in those reports were Charlotte Hornets freshly-suspended forward Miles Bridges, Bobby Portis of the Milwaukee Bucks and former San Antonio Spurs lottery pick Jeremy Sochan.
While the Suns ultimately didn’t make any deals at that position, instead trading away Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis for salary cap relief and netting Amir Coffey and Cole Anthony in return, an avenue to getting one of their reported targets has now opened up.
