THE PHX Hold 0 of their picks til 2032 draft. And til then there are large doubts on their regular seasons success in the WEST, likely becoming one of the worsts teams in the NBA league. And will look to rebuild and retrieve their picks they lost to make this rebuild possible.
{ Please be reminded that Washington hold 6 total PHX draft picks and Houston hold 2 of PHX valuable unprotected FRPs (both teams hold combined 8 of the 12 PHX 2026-2032 draft pick) ; which therefore gives them leverage and bargaining power in these trades }
THE TRADE:
PHX move Nick Richards, HOU 2029 FRP Swap Rights and MIN 2032 SRP Swap Rights to HOUSTON to retrieve their PHX 2027 FRP and PHX 2029 SRP Swap Rights.
Suns also move on from Booker and send him to Washington and receive Middleton, Kispert, (and retrieve their following picks:) PHX 2026 FRP Swap Rights, PHX 2026 SRP, PHX 2027 SRP, PHX 2028 FRP Swap Rights, PHX 2030 FRP Rights and PHX 2030 SRP.
PHX now hold 8 more of their draft picks over the next 6 years ✅
