The Suns gave up a bunch of swaps which will be pretty useless, can't imagine the Wiz being better than the Suns anytime soon. The only real first they got was the 2030 first from the Warriors for CP3.
I disagree - the swaps in 26,28 & 30 could be meaningful as the Suns big 3 probably has 2-3 years at best.
For 2028 the Nets have the rights to swap, they would get the worst of those two picks between the Nets and Suns as per the KD trade.2028 first round draft pick to Brooklyn (swap, Brooklyn or Philadelphia incoming)
Brooklyn has the right to swap its 2028 1st round pick or, if conveyed to Brooklyn, Philadelphia's 2028 1st round pick for Phoenix's 2028 1st round pick [Brooklyn-Indiana-Milwaukee-Phoenix, 2/9/2023]
The 2026 swap won't happen. Suns will still be better than the Wiz in 3 years, Beal and Book will still be good, Book is only 27 and Beal 29, Wiz will be tanking for the next 2-3 years. So its only really the 2030 swap that could have some value.
I would not speak with so much certainty. KD will be done by 2026. Booker/Beal will make over $100M combined that year. There is a legit chance once KD is done they are capped out with no picks, no cap space, no assets. Not to mention Beal is injury prone AF and Ayton is tanking his value.
