After being eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Semifinals, the Phoenix Suns are once again forced to regroup after another disappointing loss. The Suns had the best record in the NBA last season but failed to reach the Western Conference Finals after being shut down by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.
This season, they’ve all entered the NBA trade deadline and acquired Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets in hopes of reaching the NBA Finals, only for those hopes to be dashed by Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets’ two-time MVP.
After giving up so much to acquire Durant, getting better this season could be difficult, but perhaps not impossible. In fact, they may have an ace or two up their sleeve that could result in them getting all-stars. Phoenix already has two of the hottest offensive players in the NBA in Durant and Devin Booker.
However, adding a third superstar might be enough to get them over the hump and lead to them finally winning the NBA championship next season. Let’s take a look at three potential deals that could land Phoenix that third star.
