How Torrey Craig could get a ring no matter who wins NBA Finals

Torrey Craig could have already claimed an NBA championship ring, whether his current team — the Suns — or his previous squad — the Bucks — wins the NBA Finals.

That's right: Craig played 18 games for the Bucks in the 2020-21 season, before Milwaukee dealt him to Phoenix in March. Since then, he's played 32 games for the Suns including eight starts.

That would mean he could end up qualifying to get a ring no matter who wins.

It brings up an important question: Would he accept a ring from the Bucks if they beat the Suns? That would be kind of weird.

Many fans and experts are pointing out that this is similar to what happened with Anderson Verajao, the forward who was traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 and then eventually landed on the Golden State Warriors that same season. He told the media if the Cavaliers won, he wouldn't accept it.

It would be weird to fight for a ring, lose to a team you battle in a series and then accept it. It will be moot if the Suns win.
