Will Rasheer Fleming OR Khaman Maluach EVER Play? And How Will Jalen Green Effect The Suns Rotation?

Phoenix Suns face ‘champagne problems’ with a logjam at key positions as Jalen Green prepares to return. Will rising talents like Khaman Maluach and Rasheer Fleming see their minutes squeezed, or could stalwarts like Royce O’Neale and Jordan Goodwin be on the trade block? Roster depth is pushing tough decisions—can Phoenix maintain momentum while balancing veteran presence and rookie potential?

Benjamin Garcia examines the Suns’ rotation puzzle, the impact of Nick Richards and Osogidaro's steady play, and how Jalen Green’s offensive prowess might disrupt the lineup. Trade rumors swirl around Royce O’Neill, while Chris Paul’s possible reunion and a wild thought experiment involving Giannis Antetokounmpo are weighed for their plausibility. As Phoenix prepares for critical games against the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves, the big question remains—who will be the odd man out, and how will it shape the Suns’ path to contention?
