Because of this, the Suns will be operating over the second-tax apron next season, which is projected to be $190 million
In this threshold, Phoenix is unable to sign free agents outside of the Suns to anything other than veteran-minimum contracts. In terms of trades, the Suns will not be able to take in more salary than they send out, include cash in deals, aggregate contracts or use a preexisting trade exception.
The Suns will also be picking 22nd overall this summer in a draft that has been heralded as one of the worst in a long time. On the day of the first round of the draft (June 26), the Suns are able to trade both the No. 22 pick as well as their 2031 first-round pick, but not before then. These are the only first-round picks until 2031 that the Suns have the immediate ability to trade.
President of basketball operations and general manager James Jones has said the team will not be trading any of the Big 3 of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
So what does Jones feel the Suns’ biggest need this offseason is to build around these three and new coach Mike Budenholzer? Shooting.
