I'm not sure if the Suns bite in the trade but Bender will create an interesting situation for both the Suns and Cs. If the Cs take bender and a trade isn't plausible for the Suns they are realistically stuck taking a BPA who is redundant with their current roster (Murray) or reaching for a better fit ( brown or Ellenson). Another senario that came to my mind is if Thibs wants to shake things up and make a play for Bender figuring the potential of a Towns / bender/ wiggins front court could be really good in two years. Maybe #5 and Dieng for #3 and #23
My first choice still is to trade the pick for someone like Okafor, but if we don't then the trade with the Wolves seems fair to both teams. However, I can't help but feel that the Wolves would be more likely to stay at #5 and replace the mediocre Rubio with Dunn knowing that the Celtics and the Suns are unlikely to draft a point guard.
