Hey Suns fans, let's talk about what Phoenix should do this offseason
The Phoenix Suns went from being predicted to have a losing record and miss the playoffs for a second straight year to winning 45 games and returning to postseason action.
The defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder swept them in the first round, but the Suns exceeded expectations with a change in culture, identity and a rebuilt roster without Kevin Durant (traded) and Bradley Beal (bought out).
The Suns enter the offseason open to roster changes, but everyone from team owner Mat Ishbia to general manager Brian Gregory to the players is saying theyβre looking to stand pat for the most part and place an emphasis on continuity and player development.

Make a trade? If so, who should they pursue and deal to acquire a particular player or players?
Ishbia has already made it clear he's not trading Devin Booker. Is there someone else they need to move?
Re-sign Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin?
Gillespie had a career year in setting the franchise record for most made 3s in a single season (232), while Goodwin was the team's best on-ball defender who contributed on the offensive end as well.
Match any offer for 7-footer Mark Williams, who is a restricted free agent?
Williams played a career-high 60 games in a single season in his first year in Phoenix, but he missed the playoffs with a recurring foot injury.
Give Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green extensions? Both are up for one.
The max for Brooks is four years, $125.4 million he can be offered after the 2026 NBA Finals in June, while Green is eligible Oct. 1 for a four-year max extension of $195.2 million.
Finally, are Rasheer Fleming and Khaman Maluach ready to start next season?
They showed flashes of their potential as rookies, but could a big jump from Year 1 to Year 2 lead to starting roles in 2026-27?
