Hours before the February 8 trade deadline, rumors and speculations continue to swirl around the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns who are reportedly engaging in a trade deal involving Marquese Chriss, a former 8th overall pick. The report came from Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, saying that the Lakers emerged as the “favorites” to land the Suns forward out of the teams who expressed interest.
Chriss’ recent verbal altercation with the team’s strength coach may have contributed to the Suns’ decision to make him available on the trading block. Per Chris Haynes of ESPN, the 20-year-old forward received a suspension because of the incident. In an appearance on his weekly radio show Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Suns general manager Ryan McDonough addressed the rumors stating that they are shopping Marquese Chriss.
