The 2015-16 season has been rough. It can be argued that there has never been a worse time to be a Suns fan. Two years after incredible optimism and promise following a hyper-speed rebuild resulting in a 48-34 record, the Suns find themselves in a position where they must rebuild once again. It's time for CHANGE. As a fan of a terrible team, with no playoffs or playoff-push to look forward to, you resort to looking forward to The NBA Draft Lottery, NBA Draft, Free Agency, and of course the upcoming trade deadline.When things are this rough, everyone wants change, and they want it fast. As a result nearly every Suns fan wants some deal to happen. Personally, there are A LOT of players I would like to see go, but I'm an Arizona sports fan, and I know to stay pessimistic...

Here are the players I think should be traded, and why I don't think they'll be traded.

Markieff Morris

Why We Should Trade Him:

Here we have a PF who is shooting under 40% from the field, a "Stretch-4" who is shooting 29% from beyond the arc. His PER is 59th among 70 qualified players at his position. He pretty much openly hates our fan base. Oh, and he's also a cancer meant to destroy his host. He's getting paid $8 Million to do all of this. And Let's not forget the criminal charges that have not been settled yet.

Why We Won't Trade Him:

Sure there are rumors, there are always rumors. NBA news outlets fish for clicks are articles, but I refuse to believe these continued rumors that teams want Markieff. Given "Why We Should Trade Him", you have to think WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT HIM?!? If you are a contender, why bring in a guy who has the potential to destroy your team's chemistry. How about the fact that he said that choking out Archie Goodwin on the sideline was GOOD LEADERSHIP!!! If there is a GM in the league who will look at all the facts and take this pest on their team, than God bless his soul, but for now I refuse to believe that GM exists.

Tyson Chandler

Why We Should Trade Him:

He's old, declining, overpaid, and just doesn't figure into this team's future plans in any way after our failed pursuit of LaMarcus Aldridge this summer. He's taking minutes away from Alex Len.

Why We Won't Trade Him:

Who wants to take on the large contract of an old, declining center?

PJ Tucker

Why We Should Trade Him:

PJ is a valuable contributor right now. He plays hard, plays defense and grabs rebounds. All traits that appeal to contenders. His offensive game is certainly lacking, but he knows his game and he plays his roll well. All this being said, the Suns are looking to the future and this 30-year old veteran is not someone I see in the plans. If you can get some value for Tucker, do it.

Why We Won't Trade Him:

Again, I think the issue is interest. There have been rumors, but PJ is just not that significant of a player, and what are teams willing to give for him? It would be nice to get something for PJ, but trading him for close to nothing isn't worth losing the veteran leadership, and I'm afraid that what will be offered for PJ is close to nothing. His Win Shares Per 48 Minutes is 0.052, solidly below the league average of 0.1. Bottom line is Tucker isn't a special player, and getting anything for him at age 30 is not going to be easy.

Brandon Knight or Eric Bledsoe

Why We Should Trade Him:

I think hope at this point that every Suns fan agrees that the two point guard system is not the path to becoming a legitimate contender. Right now we are playing Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight both a lot of money to be the PG of this team. I'm not a huge fan of either of them. Their passing abilities are limited. Knight is inefficient and turnover-prone. Bledsoe is constantly hurt and hasn't appeared to improve much since breaking out in 2013. I'd like the franchise to go in a completely direction and find a "true" point guard. Anyway, for now getting rid of one would be nice.

Why We Won't Trade Him:

Point guard is stacked in this league, Bled and Knight both have a lot of potential and raw talent, and maybe some of what has held them both back is playing on such a terrible team, but which team is willing to gamble on that potential and take on such a big contract. Also, we invested a lot into Knight, and I'd want a fair share back for him after giving up that Lakers pick, which would be hard to find if he's the guy being traded. I'm also concerned McD won't deal Knight simply because of how much he gave up to get him.

Conclusion

The trade deadline is known for disappointing every year. However, its easy to forget that after the incredibly exciting trade deadline of last year where we gave up IT, Goran, Gerald and our pick, for Brandon Knight and others.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope some team takes the blood-sucking parasite that is Markieff Morris off of our back. I hope some team thinks Tyson Chandler's veteran leadership and experience is the difference that can make them a contender. I hope some team is willing to pay a fair price for PJ Tucker, and I hope some team thinks Bledsoe or Knight is worth their current contract plus the pieces they would have to give up. I hope I'm wrong.
