The Phoenix Suns lost the free throw battle in the fourth quarter of their Jan. 15 loss to the Detroit Pistons.

This would allow Phoenix to target players with higher salaries on the market, but at the same time the Suns would have to get creative with trades and likely involve multiple teams because most teams that are willing to trade key players are rebuilding and would not want to take on veterans like Allen or O'Neale who are not on expiring deals.
