The Suns hoped Ryan Anderson would provide leadership, experience and 3-point shooting when they acquired him from the Rockets in August.
Months later and less than 24 hours before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, the Suns have traded him to Miami for Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington, a league source familiar of the situation confirmed to The Republic.
Whether the Suns make another deal or two by 1 p.m. Phoenix time Thursday is a mystery, but league sources told The Republic that Josh Jackson isn’t on the trade market and Phoenix hasn't contacted New Orleans or the Los Angeles Lakers about a potential deal involving Lonzo Ball.
