September 5, 1989 – Suns trade Steve Kerr – In a trade of two players who had very little lasting impact on the court, the Phoenix Suns traded their future General Manager and exceptionally successful Head Coach, for a player who would never score a point in the league.
Two weeks after re-signing Steve Kerr as a free agent, the Suns traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a future 2nd round pick (’93) who would turn out to be Mark Buford. Mark, unfortunately, would never play a game for the Suns, or anyone else in the league, for that matter, and the move would prove to me a very minor one for the franchise.
