Phoenix Suns

Send: Tyson Chandler

Receive: Gorgui Dieng

This is an unlikely trade, but one that could be really fun for both teams. The Suns are a mess at center, with the veteran Chandler sharing minutes with Alex Len and Greg Monroe. Len is in the last year of his contract, and Monroe is a buyout candidate in the final year of his contract. Dieng is under contract for the next three seasons, and gives them a young big to put in the rotation with Dragan Bender and Marquese Chriss.

While the Suns would probably enjoy getting a pick for Chandler, getting a young player on a reasonable contract (three-years, $48 million) is a fair return for Chandler.
