After a very eventful offseason for the Suns that saw them trade for Bradley Beal, trade away Chris Paul and Cameron Payne, and sign/re-sign valuable offsets to solidify their bench. Suns owner, Mat Ishbia is finally at a place where he feels like his team doesn’t need to make any more changes to an already stacked roster.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Ishbia joined Arizona Sports’ Burns & Gambo yesterday and discussed the state of his team as free agency is slowly starting to wrap up.
“I think our roster is Phenomenal,” he said. “I think our coaching staff is phenomenal, I love our players. I think we have a championship-caliber team as it stands right now. With that being said, I don’t forecast or predict any other moves… We love our team right now. I think the team we have out there well exceeds even what we hoped after the season ended.”
The Suns ended last season in a sad way when they lost to the eventual NBA champion Denver Nuggets in 6 games. This caused the Suns to go in a new direction when they elected to part-ways with Monty Williams and sign Frank Vogel to be their next head coach.
The new-look Suns have made some leeway before free agency began when they traded for Beal to create a big three in Phoenix and it now seems to look like Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton are the only players left from the 2021 NBA Finals run which was only a couple of years ago.
Now they have a team with 3 all-star players, a sixth-man of the year candidate in Eric Gordon as well as two of the top 3 point shooters in the league off the bench in Yuta Watanabe and Damion Lee.

The Suns are hoping to capture their first-ever championship in franchise history. Ishbia believes that his team is one step closer to capturing that goal.
