Logjam
But the Suns have a logjam in the back court at a level of the Philadelphia 76ers struggle to find playing minutes for their trio of centers in the front court. Suprisingly, nobody is discussing the Phoenix Suns necessity of moving one of their point guards. Particularly in comparison to the wave of commentary and rumors over the expectation of the Philadelphia 76ers need to move a center, despite the minutes restrictions for Joel Embiid, the short 54-game season for Jahlil Okafor, and the ever changing role for Nerlens Noel.
With the arrival of Ulis, the Phoenix Suns could and should explore dealing either Knight or Bledsoe now. You see, there are only so many spots on a roster for a point guard, and in the 2015-2016 season, the Phoenix Suns had maximized that role.

Both Bledsoe and Knight battled injuries throughout last season, allowing shooting guard rookie Devin Booker to see some valuable starts and playing time. Now with the Suns adding Ulis, there is a belief that the Suns will trade either Knight or Bledsoe.
