Now, the Suns are one of just nine teams currently operating under the first apron. And with that comes new life. They can finally engage in sign-and-trades, targeting young talent like Kuminga or Grimes in hopes of reshaping the roster without sacrificing financial flexibility.

Reportedly, the Phoenix Suns are exploring trade possibilities for key role players like Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neal.

The Phoenix Suns star posted photos of himself on Instagram at James Turrell's Roden Crater volcano observatory in Flagstaff, on July 18.

“The Grayhound” was a talented and graceful scorer for the Suns, racing up and down the court for 10 seasons in Phoenix. He was drafted fifth overall by Phoenix in 1978 out of North Carolina, where he inspired a young Michael Jordan, among others.

Despite repeated playoff disappointments, Suns owner has firmly reiterated his commitment to Devin Booker as the franchise cornerstone.

The Phoenix Suns have moved on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, and they could trade three important players to start building around Devin Booker and Jalen Green.

The Phoenix Suns were among the list of teams that have gotten worse this offseason amid their roster reconstruction.

There are still a few more moves to come (can the Warriors figure out Jonathan Kuminga and sign Al Horford already?), but for the most part, the 2025 NBA offseason has entered the dead zone -- which is to say the time when we all spend the next few months cooking up mock LeBron trades.
