Fred VanVleet's contract is here for Money matching purposes. The Suns could look to reroute it elsewhere, as having 3 guards on max contracts is just not ideal (maybe Brooklyn could absorb it into their cap space for a real asset? (not the picks they got from the Jazz trade)

The Suns get 2 young and athletic players. Whitmore needs a change of scenery. The Suns would want a wing back with both wings being up for an extension. Houston should prioritize keeping Jabari, Tari's health is just an unknown factor and Jabari provides spacing in the front court with rebounding to play along with Sengun.

The Suns will also get 2 of the 3 picks back, barring that 2025 pick doesn't turn into Cooper Flagg than Houston would just send The Suns back their 2029 pick instead.
