One of the most surprising teams to begin the 2019-20 NBA season so far has been the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns are looking like a potential playoff team and they recently gave the Los Angeles Lakers all they could handle in an eventual Los Angeles win. One big reason for their excellent start has been the play of Aron Baynes whom they traded for.
On 2019 NBA Draft night, the Suns traded a 2020 first round pick to the Boston Celtics for Baynes and Ty Jerome. With Phoenix believed to be in rebuilding mode, many assumed the deal was made for the Suns to simply acquire the rookie and possibly buyout Baynes.
