Borrowing Chuck's idea from general thoughts thread

Phoenix trade: Little, 22
Phoenix receive: Pritchard, 30

Boston trade: Pritchard, 30, 2025 LP 1st
Boston receive: Curry, 22, 42

Charlotte trade: Curry, 42
Charlotte receive: Little, BOS 2025 LP 1st

Why for Phoenix: add a rotational PG
Why for Boston: trade up to draft C of future
Why for Charlotte: get a 1st in next yrs draft in exchange for eating Little's contract
Add 2nd(s)/cash as needed

I think this is in line with what Phoenix wants to do in this draft. I’m not a huge Pritchard guy and I’m looking for the Suns to get bigger but something like this is super realistic from a Suns perspective.

I definitely think the C's need to figure out how to invest in their frontcourt of the future, but I don't see them shaking up their playoff rotation this summer to do it.

There's a couple big men I'm hoping fall to 30 that realistically aren't going to, so trading up isn't out of the question, but given how much this area of the draft is a crapshoot I'm not moving rotation pieces to do it.

I'm not sure if I'm Phoenix that I don't want to aim higher. Pritchard comes with obvious flaws that are a problem in large minutes in the playoffs (height essentially). I think he could in theory outscore what he gives up on the other end, would a Suns team with Durant, Beal and Booker really give him that opportunity? Whether it's taking someone at #22 or using that package for a more well rounded bench piece, i think there's better options for them.

No brainer for Charlotte.

Works for me but I doubt it takes all that for Boston to move from 30 to 22

Who is Boston trading up for here? I think that matters a lot. This draft isn’t t filled with “Centers of the Future “

Seems like giving up Pritchard and a pick in a good draft just to move up is a net negative for Boston unless there really is the center of the future there…and if so why didn’t Atlanta pick him?
