Phoenix Suns
Of all the teams that haven’t been connected to Morant by national reporters, the Phoenix Suns are the most surprising.
Since trading away future Hall of Fame inductee Chris Paul in 2023, they’ve been in need of a bonafide franchise point guard. Entering the 2025-26 season, they were even expected to start Jalen Green –nominally a shooting guard –at the position. As the season has progressed, undrafted third-year pro Collin Gillespie has opened eyes with his play. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old is averaging under 14 points per game and shooting under 44 percent from the field. Suffice it to say, he’s a player that they can upgrade from.
Enter Morant, the fiery facilitator with a nose for the rim. A two-time All-Star who spent his first four seasons playing alongside Dillon Brooks, who has become the Suns’ best two-way player. In terms of positional fit and on-court chemistry, he’s a highly intriguing option for Phoenix. Obviously, there are risks with adding Morant, on and off the hardwood. However, the culture that Brooks and Suns head coach Jordan Ott are building could provide him with the infrastructure he needs to get his career back on track.
Verdict: Trade Legitimately Possible, Fit Legitimately Feasible
