NBA Trade Rumors: 3 players the Phoenix Suns should look to trade away

#2 Ryan Anderson

New Zealand Breakers v Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns acquired Ryan Anderson this summer after the Houston Rockets had been looking to move him on for more than a year. Anderson was ultimately traded alongside De'Anthony Melton, in exchange for Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss.

As part of the trade, the Suns had to take on the remaining two years of Anderson's four-year, $80 million contract that he signed with the Houston Rockets back in 2016. This is a huge amount of money to pay out for a 30-year-old who is currently having the worst season of his career and has no place in the Suns' long-term plans.

Anderson has played in just 15 games for the Suns, and he is currently shooting a career-low 20% from behind the arc. The power forwards presence on the team will make it difficult for the Suns to contend next season, and the franchise should do everything in their power to move on the former Rockets man.
