Luxury tax>>>Winning?

Guess so. Either way this is great move for every non suns fans. If I was a suns fan I would be pissed. 2 first rounders and their only inside depth just given up to avoid the luxury tax...idoits

Ownership has been trying to get rid of someone to get under the luxury tax in Phx the entire offseason which is why Marion was talked about so much in trades. Trading the 2 firsts is a bit excessive IMO but them moving someone for lesser value to save money was not. Afterall, they did give away their 1st this year and gave away the Loul Deng 1st a few years ago so obviously they don't value their draft picks much.
