Phoenix Suns need to sit out 2016 free agency, focus on developing the youth

Even with a boatload of money available to spend, the Suns will be better served focusing on developing their young players rather than creating logjams at positions with frivolous spending.

The Phoenix Suns are still coming down off the high of nabbing two significant players in last week's NBA Draft, but there is no time to rest on one's laurels. Friday, July 1, marks the beginning of the free agent moratorium period, wherein teams and players can negotiate and agree to contracts but not sign them (as Dallas knows well from last year).

With the new TV deal kicking in and bumping the salary cap to a projected $94 million, virtually every team will be flush with cash to spend on improvements.
