Suns move 2031 draft pick for 3 firsts from Jazz
Today at 07:10 PM
The Phoenix Suns are trading a future 2031 unprotected first-round pick to the Utah Jazz in exchange for three first-round picks, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
As a result of sacrificing this first-round pick in 2031, the Suns are reloading their draft assets with picks in 2025, 2027, and 2029 from the Jazz. The pick in 2025 will be the least favorable first-round pick owned by the Jazz by way of either the Cleveland Cavaliers or Minnesota Timberwolves. As for the 2027 and 2029 first-round picks, these will be the least favorable of the Cavs, Timberwolves, and Jazz first-round picks in the respective years.
This aggressive move by the Suns and owner Mat Ishbia to restock on lost draft capital that was utilized in prior trades, notably to acquire Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Phoenix no splits their only tradeable first-round pick from 2031 into three first-round picks, giving them the ability to utilize the next six drafts in trade negotiations both this season and in the offseason.
This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
