Suns consider trading Jalen Green for point guard amid struggles

Summary

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly contemplating a trade involving Jalen Green, who has seen his scoring average drop to 11.8 points this season. Green, who was once a key piece in the Kevin Durant trade, did not play in the fourth quarter of the Suns' recent 101-96 win over the Charlotte Hornets. The Suns are exploring options for a proven point guard to better support Devin Booker and the offense, though sources indicate the team may hold off on serious trade discussions until later in the season. There is speculation around the league about Green's future given his underwhelming performance and significant player option for the next season.
