PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns have acquired three future first-round picks from the Utah Jazz in exchange for another first-round pick, the teams announced Tuesday.
The Suns now have first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029 which are the least favorable selections between Cleveland and Minnesota in 2025 and between Cleveland, Utah and Minnesota in 2027 and 2029.
The Jazz acquired the Suns’ unprotected 2031 first-round pick.
The struggling Suns are 21-21 this season, which is a huge disappointment considering they have Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal on the roster.
Phoenix could try to use all three picks to add talent before the trade deadline. The franchise has been linked to disgruntled Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler in several media outlets. Butler recently returned to the Heat after a seven-game suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team.”
