Suns Trade more first round picks

July 23, 2007

The Phoenix Suns did it again on Friday, trading away 2 future first round picks along with Kurt Thomas to the Seattle SuperSonics for a conditional future second round draft pick. The Suns have become known for trading or selling their first round draft choices over the past three or four years, so this move comes as no big surprise, especially since they have been looking to dump Kurt Thomas’ hefty salary. The one thing the Suns do accomplish with this move besides free up some space below the Luxury Tax Number, is they also acquire a $8 Million trade exception. Which if you have been following the NBA rumor mill over the past view months could go in a long way in trying to acquire the much sought out Kevin Garnett.
