Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!I will leave you with this before my flight takes off for the motherland – a couple of potential targets for the Phoenix Suns – Keita Bates-Diop and Yuta Watanabe. Suns are a prime destination for vet minimum free agents!

The Suns will be in vet minimum market due to the finances they got to pay Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Deandre Ayton, and new acquisition Bradley Beal.
If the Suns were to get Watanabe, they would be getting a stretch 4 that was top 10 in the league last year in 3 point percentage and is a great locker room guy.
Durant used to be teammates with him so it wouldn’t surprise me if he put in a good word to management about him.
The Suns also have a bunch of their own free agents to sign, but let’s see if Watanabe ends up being one of the first free agents to come over to the valley.
