At first I thought the Suns have assets and there surely are trades that would make sense...But the more I look, the pickier I get.
I would do Favors for Chriss and a 1st Round draft pick swap option in 2018 or 2019. We get a low cost salary player and a draft pick. They get a veteran and stud on a great contract. I don't want Knight, Chandler, or Dudley on those albatross contracts. 3 - 4 years left on each of them and none of them are that cheap for the quality they bring.
I wouldn't hang up the phone on Favors for Bender, but our defense drops off too much with Favors out so I would want something significant in return to go that route vs. Chriss. Say... 2018 draft pick top 5 protected. I don't think that we trade Favors without taking back a PF. Bender doesn't inspire confidence yet, but he is a good contract for 4 years which gives us flexibility. A healthy Favors though.... Chriss is a no brainer IMHO. Bender is alright... Chandler is a 4 year contract! No th'nks...
