I thought I would do a thread for Suns trade ideas for the upcoming season. Of course because of the new CBA, the Suns options are extremely limited.
Gerald Bourguet of PHNX covers some of the Suns possibilities in the linked article below.
Option #5, trading for Miles McBride, caught my eye.
Remember when the Suns traded Jevon Carter and pick #29 in the 2021 draft for Landry Shamet?
Miles McBride was drafted at #36.
The Suns could have drafted McBride or some other capable player with that pick. Of course, the irony is the Suns passed on two backup point guards for Shamet, a position they now need. And they traded Cam Payne for essentially nothing.
I could easily go back further, but it's even more painful.
Anyway, it's a good article by Bourguet.

McBride earns $4.7 million next year, he just put up 8.3 points per game on 41 percent shooting from 3 in his third NBA season, and he’d provide the Suns with a backup “point guard.” But he’s also 23 years old, on a rookie contract, and just gave the New York Knicks solid minutes in a playoff run that probably would’ve reached the Eastern Conference Finals if not for their injury woes.
In other words, Nassir Little for Miles McBride straight up isn’t cutting it, and even throwing in a first-rounder might not be worth it for New York. Phoenix would likely want to put protections on its 2031 pick in such an exchange; New York would probably push back hard on that.
