Patrick Beverley is the perfect trade target for a Suns squad trying to re-establish itself in the Western Conference.

Sure, he’s coming back from right knee surgery, but he’s also a no-risk acquisition. His contract comes off the ledger after next season. Phoenix’s mistake will be short-lived if he doesn’t help.

Except, he’ll probably help.nfl jerseys cheap authentic

The Suns need a point guard, and Beverley is an ideal fit beside an alpha scorer like Devin Booker. He busts his tail on defense and has spent most of his career working off ball-dominant partners in the backcourt. Reuniting him with Ariza bolsters the offense’s previously crummy spacing while laying the groundwork for an effective defensive identity.

It shouldn’t take much to pry Beverley from the Clippers. They’re hardly light on backcourt options even after trading Austin Rivers to the Washington Wizards.custom nfl jerseys cheap

Rookies Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson need reps to facilitate their development. Jawun Evans is in the same boat. Los Angeles also has Avery Bradley, Milos Teodosic (nonguaranteed) and Lou Williams to consider.

Coming up with a fair package is still harder than it should be. The Suns won’t be hocking their best assets, and the Clippers may not have an affinity for their fringe chips. custom nfl jerseys

Selling low on Dragan Bender or Marquese Chriss and perhaps a protected second-rounder feels fair. Both bigs are best equipped for center duty, and the Suns just drafted Deandre Ayton at No. 1. The Clippers don’t have a building block at the 5 after losing DeAndre Jordan to the Dallas Mavericks. They’re strictly invested in expiring placeholders (Marcin Gortat, Boban Marjanovic, Mike Scott) unless they re-sign Montrezl Harrell.customized nfl jerseys cheap

Neither Bender nor Chriss is a sure thing. They’re quite the opposite. But the Clippers have room in their frontcourt for unknown 20-somethings who don’t make enough to jeopardize next summer’s spending power.
