Phoenix Suns Explore Trading Jusuf Nurkic for New Center Options

The Suns, struggling at 14-14, are reportedly targeting Jonas Valančiūnas or Nikola Vucevic in trade discussions as they seek to address performance issues.

The Phoenix Suns are actively pursuing trade options for starting center Jusuf Nurkic, seeking another big man in return.
Nurkic, in his second season with the Suns, is averaging 9.1 points and 9.6 rebounds but has struggled to make a significant impact.
Reported trade targets include Wizards center Jonas Valančiūnas and Bulls center Nikola Vucevic, both of whom are seen as potential upgrades.
Phoenix's defensive struggles have been a major issue, with the team ranked 24th in defensive rating despite a $400 million roster.
Currently 11th in the Western Conference, the Suns risk missing the playoffs if they cannot improve their performance and cohesion.
