Kris Humphries, DeJuan Blair traded to Suns
Forward Kris Humphries, forward DeJuan Blair and a protected first-round pick were traded from the Washington Wizards to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday in exchange for Markieff Morris.
Humphries has battled injuries all season in Washington, and his role for the tanking Suns will be questionable at best. Mirza Teletovic, P.J. Tucker and Jon Leuer are likely to benefit the most Morris out of Phoenix. Humphries and Blair can be left on the waiver wire.
Humphries has a -1.1 nERD, which ranks 87th, in 28 games played. He's averaging 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game while posting a 52.4 True Shooting Percentage. Blair's nERD ranks 94th at -1.8 in 29 games played. He's averaging 2.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game while posting just a 41.4 True Shooting Percentage.
