Suns Open to Trading Jalen Green as They Seek a Point Guard
The Phoenix Suns are reportedly open to trading Jalen Green and want to add a point guard to their roster. Green is losing his place in the rotation this season, and his shooting and scoring averages have also dropped.
According to Chris Haynes, the Phoenix Suns are open to trading Jalen Green. The franchise wants to add a point guard to its roster. The goal is to keep Devin Booker from having to handle both scoring and playmaking duties.
The 24-year-old guard's role in the rotation is shrinking. Coach Ott left Green on the bench for the entire final period of last Thursday's win over the Hornets.
Last season in Houston, Green averaged 21 points per game. In 32 games with Phoenix, where injuries affected his playing time, that average fell to 17.8 points. In the first 11 games of this season, it dropped to 11.8 points, the lowest of his career, and his field goal percentage was 41.9 percent.
Green has a player option worth about 36 million dollars for next season.
