2. Sign Harrison Barnes

With the Golden State Warriors still favorites to win their second title in two years, Harrison Barnes could be looking to really cash in  this summer.

Phoenix will be in a great place to do this, particularly when they move Tyson Chandler and his $13 million dollar contract to Houston. More on that later.

In Phoenix, Barnes will have the chance to be the man. Yes, he will be playing with two talented guards again, but Bledsoe and Knight are no Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

With more of the spotlight, Barnes will finally get to show us just how good he truly is. Hopefully, from a Phoenix point of view, he will have a top-level power forward to play along side. Again, more on that later.

As Barnes is only 24, Phoenix should and will be able to offer him a four-year contract near the max level. That certainly will get his attention and his interest.

In Barnes, Phoenis will get one of the most versatile small forwards in the NBA. Barnes can score in bunches and is also one of the better defenders going around.

If the Warriors do win their second championship, Harrison Barnes may be the cost.

Next: Trade Booker and Teletovic for a power forward
