The Phoenix Suns have been one of the most surprising NBA teams this season, and a possible trade with the New Orleans Pelicans boosts their playoff hopes.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were defeated by the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, 114-113, after Collin Gillespie made a go-ahead jumper with 6.4 seconds left in the game.
Brooks fouled out of the game with 18 seconds left with a team-high 22 points and Phoenix down a point. Collin Gillespie hit a short pull-up with 6.7 seconds left as the Suns closed on a 9-0 run in the game’s final 49 seconds.
Rodney Rogers, who played 12 seasons in the NBA, including nearly three seasons with the Phoenix Suns, where he won NBA Sixth Man of the Year, died Nov. 21, according to statements issued by Wake Forest University and the NBA. He was 54.
Overall, the Suns are blowing past expectations with a roster that wasn't supposed to do much, so there doesn't appear to be any reason to ruin a good thing they have going this season, although some smaller trades may end up becoming in play once the team is at full strength and their needs become more obvious.
