The Suns have created a smart development path for Khaman Maluach
Yesterday was signing day for the Phoenix Suns as they officially welcomed back the key restricted and unrestricted free agents they retained this offseason.

[…]
Collin Gillespie is why I’m watching the Suns this season
I cut my teeth on this league watching Steve Nash. That’s not a comparison I make lightly, and I’ll say up front: this isn’t one.

The Anachronism: Koa Peat and the search for a modern home for an old-school four
Phoenix didn’t have a first-round pick on draft night. They bought one. To get Koa Peat at No. 30, the Suns sent their own No. 47 back into a four-team knot with the Knicks, Mavericks, and Lakers, and attached two future second-round picks — 2029 and 2033 — to close it. That’s a real toll […]
