Suns Trade Talks ESCALATING... Report Reveals WILD Suns Trade Update | Suns News
Jul 26, 2026
It is heating up in Phoenix as Suns trade reports are escalating as we got a new report from Hoops hype insider
Michael a Scotto that could lean the way of Matt Ishbe in James Jones to move off a specific role player on
This team to better this roster as they already have some of those players filling in a specific role
But could the Suns look to possibly move off some other possible pieces that maybe are fitting into Mike
Offense or could gain the Suns some more trade value
We'll be discussing all of that and more on this episode of Suns digest
I'm Bruce Velez. And like I said, you guys have been absolutely fantastic and showing your love and support for the channel
We're really really appreciative
Do you want to make sure you stay up to date on everything revolving around the Suns team?
Make sure to hit that like button without further ado
Let's dive into the topic at hand make sure to grab a snack. And like I said in the introduction
This is absolutely wild and we're gonna dive into all of this news as we all know
This Suns team has been a very solid roster so far this season when healthy
Obviously do it some injuries to Durant and Bradley Beal it is put this team on a little bit of a skid
But they've been able to bounce back
Effectively winning their last two of three losing one of those to the Nets and they're gearing up to take on these Suns tonight
And they're final NBA Cup game now the Suns
Obviously, you're still wanting to maintain a top seed in the Weston fell down a little bit due to those injuries
But are trying to moment a comeback and I've been having some key role players and also starters really step up for this squad
So Michael a Scott occurs you a poop site
Went in and surveyed the league and kind of went over some trade candidates and he brought up one for the Phoenix Suns
So we're gonna dive in and look at the possibility of this happening in how likely it is going to happen
So we want to dive in and look at who was an answer that you guys can tell
Probably from the thumbnail and from the title. It was Josh Coghie and Josh Coghie
Played a pretty vital role for the Suns this season
But Michael a Skyler had this to say about the code Phoenix also resigned Josh Coghie for some occasional stuff
But also to Daniel his contract as a trainable asset league sources told oops
I the Suns are paying Josh Coghie eight point two five million dollars this season and a seven point seven million seven and a half
Million dollar salary for the 25-26 season is non
Guaranteed with their payroll well above the second apron
The Suns have limited roster flexibility and would likely have to rely on their stars to stay healthy to carry the load
So looking at some of these possible rotational features that could be thrown into some trades
They can help the Suns get some nice needed upgrades around the edges to help perfect this
Championship contender that the Suns have really built so far this season
You want to look at an article here as well kind of going in on all of that courtesy of
Myself over on last word if you want to read some of my son stuff go and check it out
But I broke down an article talking about this new Suns trade
Like I said, Michael a Scott Oh from hoopside said that the Suns could ship away
There's defensive presence off the bench who's been solid for a Suns team
I like I meant Coghie has come up big for the Suns in some big moments first the Sacramento Kings the game where he was
Really thrown into the limelight for the Suns team
he had his best offensive performance where he netted a season high our career high in offensive rebounds and got a season-high total in
25 and Coghie cupped up that play for when players like
Durant and Beale were out and even when players when Durant and Beale come back
He has still been able to flourish with this team and he has looked pretty solid
Like I mentioned a Coghie is on a two-year sixty million dollar deal this season where he's getting eight point two five million this
Year and next year is making seven point seventy five million in which it is non
Guaranteed this means that if a team were to trade for a Coghie
They could wave Josh of Coghie off their roster and have no issues and no problems with having to pay them
That's seven and three quarters of a million dollars
Which could lead for a lot of teams to be interested in trading for a player in Josh Coghie
Even if it is for a rental this season now for the Suns if they are
Going to look at some trades and look to move off of some people
They do have some trade restrictions being a second-ager team
And this is something that needs to be said and screamed from the rooftop because not only in my comment section
Not only other Suns comment you content creators YouTube sections, but all over social media
I have seen Suns fans trying to make trades for this team and half of them aren't even possible with the new CBA
So if you wanna you're a person that is looking to make Suns trades
If you're someone that is cooking them up on the internet and you're watching this video
You need to take these two rules into consideration when making these trades
I don't care if spot-track or fanspo or the NBA app
Let's you make these trades go through if these restrictions are going to happen with the Suns in performing these fake trades
You can already chop it up because it can not happen and one of those ways being that the Suns cannot aggregate salaries
That means the Suns cannot combine salaries
They cannot trade a player in just like Josh of Coghie and Yusef Nurkic combine those two players and go and get Nikola Vucevic
That is impossible can not happen
The Suns though can trade one player like Yusef Nurkic making his 18 million dollars and get two players back
Making ten and six million dollars
But the Suns cannot take two contracts that are two smaller ones combine it and go get a bigger contract
That is not possible
And if the Suns are to do a trade regardless with any player on the roster the player that they send out
Has the play that they receiving has to be cheaper or the exact value as the player that they send out
So for this example if the Suns were to trade Josh of Coghie
The Suns would have to be able to take back a player that makes either equal to eight point two five million dollar to the
exact dollar amount or
Less it cannot be eight point two six cannot be eight point three seven can't be eight point five can't be nine
Can't be ten million dollars. It has to be less than eight point two five
Which leaves the Suns in a little bit of a tricky situation
Josh of Coghie making eight point two five million dollars is
Solid and for the role that he's been playing for the Suns if we want to look at his stats is
Ben affected eight and a half points for rebounds
52% in the field 52% from three and is really having his best offensive season so far with the Suns
We've known a Coghie can be a defensive presence could be a really solid
Guard slash wing combination playing that defensive on the edges there and guarding in the paint with his
Ability to showcase his offensive side of the basketball where his three-point shot is actually looking consistent in this Mike
Budenholz offense it has turned on the eyes of other teams around the league
But also the Suns to maybe say hey
training a player like Josh Coghie at this peak value could get us said role player and could set us up for the future the
Suns already have an abundance of players in that similar role guys like Grace O'Neill
Ryan Dunn Grace and Allen and Josh of Coghie
So ultimately I do believe they will look to move off of one of those players if not multiple of those players at the trade
Endline to really upgrade in that frontcourt position or help out in some other areas of need
But it all come down to James Jones Matt Ishby and ultimately what they decide to see was trading a player in Josh O'Coghie
Worth it
Is it worth moving off an eight point eight million dollar contract to get another role player that can play a similar role or would?
You rather keep Josh O'Coghie because he's on a cheaper contract and look to trade someone who's on a little bit more of an expensive
Contract. Let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section
What are your guys's thoughts on Josh Coghie and do you think he possibly could get traded?
Like I said personally, I were the Suns GM at this very moment. I would not trade Josh O'Coghie
I think Josh O'Coghie plays a valuable role as a defender
And even though Ryan Dunn has showed that promise on the defensive side same thing with Royce O'Neill
I do believe that Josh Coghie's offensive game this season has been true and can stay consistent
Having him Royce O'Neill and having a player in Ryan Dunn in that system
I think could be key and possibly moving off another player could be the direction the Suns look at if we want to look like
I said at the Suns salary cap with this team so far
Like I mentioned O'Coghie making eight million dollars
But lots more people on this team
Making some more money that I've just gotten some extensions guys like Grayson Allen Royce O'Neill and Yusef Nurkic
Why I think it all be on the trade market at this point it could be gauged out as well
Grayson not having the greatest shooting start to the season playing a new role Nurkic not being that starting center that the Suns expected to see
I'd rather see the Suns look in that direction and choose to move off of one of those players
They're moving off a player in O'Coghie
But if O'Coghie has the value of teams really want him at that eight million dollars and the Suns can get a bang for their buck
I say go out and do it. Let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section
How you guys ultimately feel about this team?
Like I said, I wouldn't trade O'Coghie if it was my first choice
