Queen Creek, Arizona — The Phoenix Suns have emerged as one of the NBA's most praised teams in the opening days of free agency, securing elite shooter Luke Kennard, retaining Collin Gillespie, and bringing back Jordan Goodwin on a multi-year deal.
Kennard signed a two-year, $13 million contract that immediately addresses the Suns' need for perimeter shooting. Gillespie, a breakout guard last season, was retained on a four-year, $48 million extension that locks in a core piece of the backcourt. Goodwin returns on a three-year deal, providing wing depth and defensive versatility.
The franchise also intends to re-sign restricted free agent Mark Williams to a three-year pact, according to reports. National writers have ranked the Suns' early haul among the league's best, a stark contrast to recent offseasons marked by high-profile departures and salary-cap constraints.
