Report: Suns Are Shopping Former 20-Ppg Scorer
The Suns are considering a move that would add a veteran playmaker after Jalen Green has averaged 11.8 points through 11 games.
- Amid a 5-6 start to the season, the Phoenix Suns are reportedly 'motivated' to trade Jalen Green for a proven point guard, per The Athletic's Sam Amick.
- Since arriving in Phoenix, Green has struggled, averaging a career-low 11.8 points on 41.9 percent shooting while earning $36.2 million this season.
- On Thursday, head coach Jordan Ott benched Green during the fourth quarter of a 101-96 win over the Charlotte Hornets, favoring Jordan Goodwin and Collin Gillespie.
- According to Amick, the Suns insist they will 'remain patient' with their roster and do not plan serious trade discussions until later in the season.
- Although Devin Booker is listed as the team's starting point guard, the Phoenix Suns are effectively working around a large hole in the rotation needing a traditional floor general.
