Luis Scola for Gerald Green, Miles Plumlee, and a first round pick, traded Jared Dudley and a second round pick for Caron Butler and Eric Bledsoe, and they drafted Alex Len and Archie Goodwin.
All of these moves were to help try and make the rebuilding effort better, and the Suns achieved their goal. The Suns added youth in Bledsoe, Plumlee, and a first round pick, while also drafting two players in the first round. Next up for the Phoenix Suns is to tank this season to have a better shot at landing the coveted Andrew Wiggins in the upcoming draft.
