Trajon Langdon the President of Basketball Operations for the Detroit Pistons talked to the media. What is his plan?

The Miami Heat were historically embarrassed in the first round by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and President of Basketball Operations, Pat Riley, let is slip in his end-of-season media availability that they won't be running it back in South Beach next season.Could the Phoenix Suns and new GM Brian Gregory take advantage? If they can, would it be better to make a Kevin Durant, or Bradley Beal trade? Would they be able to get a prospect like Kel'El Ware included, or would involving Miami as a third team in another deal make the most sense?PHNX Suns gets into Riley's comments, more information on the newest member of Phoenix's front office, and Dwyane Wade & Dorrell Wright's comments on what makes a good coach in the NBA, before snake drafting all-time lefty hoopers!Follow the show @PHNX_Suns, @StephenPG3, @ErikRuby & @GeraldBourguet!An ALLCITY Network ProductionSUBSCRIBE to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/phnx_youtubeALL THINGS PHNX: http://linktr.ee/phnxsportsMERCH https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/phnx-lockerALLCITY Network, Inc. aka PHNX and PHNX Sports is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the City of PhoenixPHNX Events: Get your tickets to PHNX events and takeovers here: https://gophnx.com/events/ALLCITY — including us here at PHNX — is teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for an exciting three-year partnership.
