The Phoenix Suns had a disappointing season, culminating in a first-round playoff sweep by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
This outcome resulted in the termination of head coach Frank Vogel and the dissolution of his entire coaching staff.
Despite facing limitations due to being over the second apron, they have three main priorities for the offseason, according to John Gamboro.
Firstly, they aim to acquire a true point guard capable of playing significant minutes, as they lacked one for most of the previous season.
Secondly, the team seeks to add a young, athletic wing to their roster, as they heavily relied on veteran players last season.
Lastly, they aim to upgrade their backup center position from Drew Eubanks, who served as the primary backup to Jusuf Nurkic last season.
Given their second-apron status, the Suns have restricted avenues for talent acquisition. They can re-sign their own free agents, sign draft picks, and bring in players on minimum contracts.
Trades are an option but come with limitations, including the inability to aggregate player salaries or take on more salary than they send out.
