With Jeremy Sochan out of the Spurs rotation and in the final year of his contract, it makes sense for the Spurs to at least listen to offers on him at the deadline. In this trade, Phoenix sends Nick Richards, Nigel Hayes, and two second-round picks to the Spurs in exchange for Sochan. Sochan fits the defensive-first, gritty ethos of the current Phoenix Suns iteration and could give them some juice at the 4. For San Antonio, they collect future draft assets and big depth behind Wemby and Kornet that could prove valuable in a playoff series.
