What Suns role players could be dealt in a trade this offseason?

What could the Suns get for Allen and O’neale:

Allen is due $16.8 million next year, and O’Neale $10.1 million. Each of the wings has three years left on their deal, with them the only current Suns players set to make over $5 million next season, with Cody Martin and Vasilije Micic expected to be cut or waived from the team for the 2025-2026 season.

The duo both shot over 40% from beyond the arc last season. However, the roster’s lack of size and surplus of scoring wings make their skillsets a luxury for a team that has holes on the defensive end. Allen dealt with injuries last season, playing the least amount of games since the 2020-2021 season. The 6’4 guard is still a valuable asset for other contenders to have on the roster, while Phoenix can recoup more size to pair with Durant or Booker.

O’Neale was traded for his defensive prowess but has grown into one of the team’s best shooters. He has become more valuable since arriving in the Valley and is an attractive player for buying teams. The 31-year-old is also 6’4, and his lack of size and age make him expandable with the team’s rebuild in the future.

The franchise could take flyers on explosive centers like Robert Williams from the Portland Trail Blazers or Moritz Wagner from the Orlando Magic. Williams is a dynamic defensive player whose trade value is low due to his injury history but a versatile defender who could aid the Suns next season. Wagner is an offensive threat, averaging 10+ points the past three seasons with under 20 minutes per game.

Regardless of what Gregory decides to do with the roster, change is coming, as Suns owner Mat Ishbia stated at his end-of-season press conference, and that change could be the departure of Allen and O’Neale.
