Earlier in the month, there were reports going around that the Suns haven’t been able to get a trade going for Jae Crowder because general manager James Jones was referring to three people in charge of the team at the time.
With the news that Shams just brought up with Ishbia giving them the green light, this could potentially kick start and allow the Suns to be aggressive in trade talks to get the kind of player they want to improve the roster this year and into the future.
