Финикс Санс баг Майлз Бриджесийг эгнээндээ нэгтгэхийн тулд 2033 оны драфтын эрхээ ямар ч нөхцөлгүйгээр өгсөн нь удирдлагын алдаатай бодлогыг харуулж байна.
Финикс Санс багийн эзэн Мэт Ишбиа өмнөх алдаанаасаа сургамж аваагүй бололтой. Тэд өнгөрсөн жил ёс зүйг бүхнээс дээгүүрт тавина хэмээн мэдэгдэж байсан ч хувийн амьдралын асуудалтай Майлз Бриджесийг багтаа авчирлаа. Энэхүү яаруу шийдвэр нь багийн ирээдүйг барьцаанд тавьж, амжилт гаргах боломжгүй цаг үедээ ирээдүйн үнэ цэнтэй сонголтоо золиосолсон явдал боллоо.
Шарлотт Хорнетс багтай хийсэн энэхүү наймаа нь Финикс Сансын хувьд эдийн засгийн хувьд ч, спортын үр ашгийн хувьд ч алдагдалтай байна. Тэдний авсан 2029 оны драфтын эрх болон 2027 оны хоёрдугаар тойргийн сонголтууд нь маш бага үнэ цэнтэй бөгөөд Грэйсон Аллен, Майлз Бриджес нарын гүйцэтгэлийн зөрүү нь төдийлөн их биш юм.
Энэхүү солилцооны цорын ганц эерэг тал нь Ройс О’Нилийн цалинг багасгасан явдал байв. Гэвч үүний хариуд Финикс Санс баг ирээдүйд ашиглах боломжтой цөөн тооны драфтын эрхээ алдаж, багийн бүрэлдэхүүнийг сайжруулах орон зайгаа улам бүр хумьлаа.

Now that we have confirmation on the draft pick terms, the Miles Bridges trade to the Phoenix Suns surpasses Trae Young’s extension as the worst move of the offseason, and shows that the Suns have learned nothing from their previous mistakes.
For starters, obviously, the team that bellowed “character above all” a year ago just traded for Bridges. But even if his off-court record were pristine, this is brutal work.
Suns owner Mat Ishbia once again let a first-round pick burn a hole in his pocket, trading his 2033 first (unprotected, according to ESPN) within seconds of his being eligible to use it to get Bridges; I’m sure it will shock all of you to learn that Bridges went to Michigan State.
It’s an impulsive, win-now move from a team that is in no position to win anything important right now.
You don’t give up unprotected firsts so you can finish eighth instead of ninth, especially for a team whose future is already mortgaged to the hilt. As a bonus, they got shafted by Charlotte in a trade for the 43rd consecutive time (pour one out for the Nick Richards era) and somehow still keep making deals with the Hornets.
The picks they got back are window dressing to make the trade look less terrible, but let’s be clear: The Suns got back pennies on the dollar. It’s a 2029 first-rounder that is the least valuable of four different teams’ selections (Charlotte, Utah, Cleveland and Minnesota), all of whom project to be pretty good in a few years. Realistically, it will land in the mid-20s. The 2027 second-round pick they got will be the least valuable of four teams’ picks, including Boston, and likely a near-worthless pick in the mid-50s.
All this for what in the end looks like a pretty mild upgrade. While it does even out the roster some positionally, the value difference between Grayson Allen (who had arguably the best year of his career last season) and Bridges is smaller than you might think. Allen had a BORD$ value of $18 million last year and Bridges was at $22 million, putting both players right at their 2026-27 salaries. The primary win for Phoenix was getting off Royce O’Neale’s salary.
But I’m sure there’s one other exciting result here for Ishbia and the Suns: As a result of this move, they can now trade the 2028 first-round pick that they have already swapped twice, and is the least valuable of Brooklyn’s, Philadelphia’s or Washington’s. That pick and three second-rounders (including the one they just got from the Hornets) are the only remaining picks they can trade through 2033.
