NBA insider Marc Stein joins Southwest Bias with exclusive insight into the Phoenix Suns’ growing push to trade for a power forward — and what it means as the deadline approaches.

Stein breaks down why the Suns are prioritizing frontcourt help, how aggressive Phoenix is willing to be, and which types of power forwards they’re targeting as they try to maximize their surprising opportunity now and in the future.

We discuss the Suns’ internal urgency, league-wide perception of Phoenix as a buyer, and how roster balance, defense, and rebounding are shaping their trade strategy in the Western Conference arms race.

Why the Phoenix Suns want to trade for a power forward

What Marc Stein is hearing from around the NBA

The Phoenix Suns held off a scrappy Brooklyn Nets team to snap a two-game skid with a 106-102 win. Things got chippy at the end, but it was a late 10-2 run that allowed the Suns to overcome a deficit to move to 28-19 on the season.

Without Devin Booker, Collin Gillespie, Jalen Green and Isaiah Livers, the Suns enjoyed a season-high 27 points from Mark Williams, while Dillon Brooks scored 26 points and Grayson Allen added a number of clutch buckets en route to 18 points on the night. The Nets were paced by 36 points from Michael Porter Jr. while rookie guard Egor Dëmin added 15 points.

Phoenix won a scrappy contest despite shooting 5 of 20 from 3-point range and it maintains its pace among the top half of the Western Conference. The Suns now look to get healthier as they welcome two of the East’s best teams to close January. PHNX Suns postgame takes you through the thrilling, chippy finish as it breaks down a much-needed win. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo and @StephenPG3!

The Phoenix Suns are set to face tough decisions as the NBA’s Feb. 5 trade deadline rapidly approaches. Phoenix has overachieved this season, and it now has an opportunity to make an upgrade to the roster. But it will come at a price.

Is it worth parting ways with a key rotational player to address a different need? Too soon to give up on a young player finding their way? Those are just a few of the questions the Suns must answer.

With the deadline just 10 days away, PHNX Suns takes a look at some of the players who could net a valuable return to help the franchise’s short- or long-term outlook. Follow the show: @PHNX_Suns, @ErikRuby, @GilMcGregor_, @Espo and @StephenPG3!
