The Phoenix Suns are eager to reach the NBA Finals again this season, and management is actively reinforcing the lineup. In addition to re-signing veteran Chris Paul on a 4-year contract worth 120 million, cameron Payne and Frank Kaminsky were retained. At the same time, he also signed with veterans such as Javal McKee and Landry Shamet. However, the Suns' reinforcement program continues.
According to media reports, the Suns will also chase Paul Millsap and Elfrid Payton. Because the Suns need more lineup depth. While playing for the Nuggets, Millsap averaged 9.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game, shooting 47.6 percent from the field, including 34.3 percent from three-point range.
Although he is no longer at his peak, he can improve the depth of the Suns' bench lineup, at least for a few minutes during the break between Crowder and Bridges.
According to Mark Berman of the New York Post, the Suns will also pursue former New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton. He also started as a starting point guard for the Knicks last season, and he's been brilliant on both ends of the spectrum, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
The Suns hope to bring in two outstanding players, Millsap and Payton, and use them to improve the team's bench. It's clear that the Suns hope to get back to the Finals this season.
