PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns are on a roll, having won their last seven games approaching tonight's contest against the Indiana Pacers

Though they continue to climb up the Western Conference standings, the Suns are also actively searching for ways to improve their squad in the trade market. 

As the Feb. 8 deadline approaches, deals around the league are slowly beginning to heat up. 

Yahoo! NBA insider Jake Fischer revealed the following about the Suns and who they are targeting:

"Phoenix only has second-round capital at its disposal, plus Nassir Little and his four-year, $28 million contract, to consider for legitimate upgrades, as Phoenix appears intent on keeping Grayson Allen," wrote Fischer. 

"While the Suns were once considered primarily shopping for guards – and they remain connected to players in that salary range such as Delon Wright and Monte Morris, sources said – the Suns now seem to be generally looking at various rotation-level players, ranging from Jae’Sean Tate to Royce O’Neale, sources said, to Bridges and Charlotte teammate Nick Richards."

Arizona Sports insider John Gambadoro added on Twitter/X the Suns are indeed interested in acquiring O'Neale. 

There's been plenty of talk surrounding what Phoenix could possibly maneuver in the trade market given their lack of resources and capital. Allen projects as the biggest trade chip, though the Suns appear to be much better off keeping him in the lineup. 

Allen said he'd like to stick around, too.
