Solar Panel, ep. 87: Grading the Suns-Rockets trade from all angles

Anything important happen lately in Phoenix Suns land?

Oh yeah, there was a weird unexplainable (in a vacuum) trade with the Rockets that got the Suns an expensive floor-spacer and yet another unproven youngster in exchange for a couple guys no one really knew what to do with. So long Marquese Chriss and Brandon Knight.

Our guest takes today include:

• Jeremy Brener with SB Nation’s Rockets site, the Dream Shake.
• Mike Bauer of local radio station 1580 The Fanatic. Mike’s had me on his morning time slot with Shawn Crespin occasionally (not often enough though — I mean, should probably have a weekly spot, if I’m honest...)

Jeremy gives us good insight into the Rockets side of the deal, what they think of De’Anthony Melton and what went wrong with Ryan Anderson.

Then Bauer joins us to give his take on the trade and the future of this latest Suns iteration.
