The Phoenix Suns reportedly explored a Domantas Sabonis trade that would have sent Deandre Ayton to Indiana last winter. Brendon Kleen hops in the time machine to look back on why the deal would have made sense, what it tells us about James Jones and his view of this Suns roster, and how the Suns would look with a dominant offensive center like Sabonis in Ayton’s place. Then, why the latest Suns ownership reports might mean it’s time to scale back expectations at the NBA trade deadline.

This podcast just shows your relationship with James Jones more than anything. To be honest James has been a complete failure.
Smh Joel you totally have it twisted.
I have to give Brendan credit for finally critiquing James Jones. Prior to this episode he seemed hesitant to be less than complimentary, even when Jones' decisions warranted criticism.
We don’t really know how close we were to a trade. Regardless JJ hasn’t been outstanding as a GM
Injures are hurting the Suns not James Jones. That being said. He better come out of this trade deadline with something good for Crowder.
I think DA is gone along with Crowder obviously.
How is Jones right in anyway fir his take that Sabonis might be a good player the Suns want. That’s 100% what the entire state of AZ thought. Jones is paralyzed. Where are the insider scoops? No reason for the narrative. Sorry!
I don’t think it’s fair to judge James Jones for the things he didn’t do since he was working under one of the worst owners and did the best he could with limited resources. I will hold my criticisms until I see him under Matt Ishbia. I think jones didn’t value the draft because he knew we wouldn’t have a gleague team and I understand why he passed on haliburton especially after how good Cam Payne was.
Sabonis would have been great for Mikal on his back door cuts
The suns should just tank we will have a secondary scorer if we do and within 2 to 3 seasons will will have a shot at winning a title let’s just give up on this season and just tank
