LOCKED ON SUNS 8/30/18: Suns trade Marquese Chriss and Brandon Knight to Houston

On today’s episode, we quickly recap what became an eventful Thursday night for the Phoenix Suns, as the team traded third-year big Marquese Chriss and presumed starting point guard Brandon Knight to the Rockets in a surprise deal.
