Of the 30 teams in the NBA league in the offseason, which team made the most moves? I think the first thing that comes to mind for almost all fans is the Suns. After last season's failure, the Suns made a series of signings in the offseason. Below, let's review what the Suns did this offseason.
1: The Pacers, Suns, and Wizards complete a three-way trade. Trading result: Paul Bill swap
The Suns get: Bill, Goodwin, Isaiah Todd. The Wizards get: Paul, Shamet, five future second-round picks, four future draft picks, Koulibaly. Pacers get: No. 8 pick Jarez Walker, two second-round picks (one from the Suns and one from the Wizards)
2: The Suns sign Eubanks to a 2-year contract, with the second year as a player option. Eubanks averaged 6.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists last season.
3: The Suns signed Diop on a 2-year, $5 million contract. Diop averaged 9.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists last season.
4: Suns 1-year contract extension to Okogie. Last season, Okogie averaged 4.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
5: The Suns signed Metu on a 1-year contract. Metu averaged 4.9 points and three rebounds per game last season.
6: The Suns signed Yuta Watanabe on a 1-year contract. 7: Suns 1-year contract signed Damien Lee.
8: The Suns sign Gordon for $6 million in two years, with a player option for the second year. Gordon played in 69 regular-season games last season, averaging 12.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Gordon played in five games in the playoffs, averaging 10.2 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game.
After these 8 signings, Durant and Booker led the 15-man championship lineup: Durant, Booker, Beal, Ayton, Gordon, Payne, Okogie, Yuta Watanabe, Damien Lee, Metu, Wayne Wright, Diop, Eubanks, Goodwin and Camara. I don't know, what do you think of the Suns' 15-man lineup? Anyway, my opinion is that if the Suns don't win the championship in the new season, then the Suns are a losing team.
Realistically speaking, the sun's strength has improved in a straight line after these operations. Offensively, Beal can provide the Suns with a steady stream of points, and outside Gordon's three-pointers can give the Suns more ways to attack. On the defensive end, both inside and outside has been improved. All in all, the Suns have been strengthened where they should be, and now they have only one goal, which is to hit the championship. Here, I also want to ask everyone, do you think Durant can win the championship in the new season?
