The Suns look like they will be a play-in team when the regular season ends. But one more trade could be on the horizon.
Dan Favale of Bleacher Report gave every single team a letter grade at the official halfway point of the season - and the Suns were given an undeniably poor mark. More from Favale as to why the Suns received an F+ 43 games into the season:
