It is set to be a busy offseason for the Phoenix Suns as they try to turn their franchise around after back-to-back disappointing seasons.
Of course, Kevin Durant has been the headliner thus far as the NBA offseason nears as the future Hall of Fame forward is expected to be on the move, likely before the 2025 NBA Draft.
While Durant has stolen the headlines for Phoenix and the upcoming NBA offseason, the Suns are also looking to upgrade their roster around Devin Booker as they try to become title contenders once again after missing the playoffs.

Phoenix has many holes on their roster that they need to fill this summer but both the point guard and center positions are their key areas of need.
The Suns struggled to find a starting center last season even after making a trade with the Charlotte Hornets for Nick Richards but after a recent report, it is clear that they are looking to upgrade the position this offseason.
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Suns are interested in two Eastern Conference centers, one of which is from the Indiana Pacers.
“Sources say you can likewise add Phoenix to the list of teams that had been hoping to elbow its way into Myles Turner's free agency this summer,” Fischer wrote.
In his report, Fischer also named Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis as a potential target for the Suns along with Turner from the Indiana Pacers.
Of course, there have been many reports saying that the Pacers are interested in bringing Turner back with him being an unrestricted free agent, there should be many teams interested, including the Suns.

Turner would be a massive upgrade at the center position for Phoenix due to his elite rim protection along with him being able to space the floor as a stretch big.
Despite this, Turner should attract a ton of interest from around the NBA this summer, though it is likely that he will remain in Indiana.
