The Phoenix Suns have been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA this season with the way they have played and now there is a chance that the team could start dealing as it gets closer to the trading deadline, as reports have the Suns interested in Sixers guard Thaddeus Young, while the Sacramento Kings may want their point guard in Goran Dragic.
Reports from earlier in the season had Young asking for a trade from the Sixers and he was one name along with Evan Turner that was expected to get traded at some point this year. The Sixers are rebuilding and he should be a name that teams are looking to snag and now the Suns appear to be one of those teams, as they have been in the mix in the Pacific division and have a clear shot at a playoff berth and after dealing for Eric Bledsoe from the Clippers, the team has high hopes for the future and Young could be a part of that.
Sam Hinkie said that the Sixers would be a willing trade partner this season and with the Suns having four first round picks in the near future, they may be willing to part with one for Young. The Sacramento Kings reportedly have been looking at Goran Dragic and according to Pro Basketball Talk, the Suns could be willing to trade their point guard this season after the way Bledsoe has played and with the money the guard is owned down the line. The Suns want to keep Bledsoe and that may come at the expense of Dragic, as the Sacramento Kings are reportedly interested after they already traded for Rudy Gay and Derrick Williams and it comes as he is having a great season, averaging nearly 20 points per game.
The Suns ate 20-12 this season and playing way better than anyone expected and with Young playing well for the Sixers, he could be a top target.
