When free agency began on June 30, I don’t know if we were prepared for the onslaught of moves made by the Phoenix Suns in the first 40 minutes. We knew the concern: how would James Jones bring in talent on veteran minimum contract? Given the landscape of the NBA under the new CBA, Phoenix was handcuffed with their ability to do so.
But this isn’t Phoenix circa 2017. This is Booker-Durant-Beal-Ayton Phoenix. Player want to come here, and come here they did. The Suns re-signed Josh Okogie and Damion Lee, and added Drew Eubanks, Keita Bates-Diop, Chimezie Metu, Yuta Watanabe, and Eric Gordon.
