The Phoenix Suns have made some major changes to their roster already this offseason and more moves could be coming.
Of course, the Suns started the offseason by sending Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in a blockbuster trade that landed them Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and draft capital, including the 10th overall pick in the 2025 draft that they used to select Khaman Maluach.

Phoenix then added three young players in the draft in Maluach, Rasheer Fleming and Koby Brea while also pulling off a trade with the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams.
It is clear that the Suns are retooling their roster around Devin Booker this summer to bounce back from a disappointing season last year that saw them miss the playoffs.
Phoenix does still have more players they could decide to move on from this offseason in Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neal, as well as star guard Bradley Beal.

Of course, the Suns tried to trade Beal at the trade deadline last season but the star guard did not gain much interest from teams around the league and also refused to waive his no-trade clause.
With the Suns retooling their roster, it has been reported that they are trying to move Beal again this summer but they may have to do so by buying out his contract.
If that does end up happening, the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks are expected to show interest in signing him according to Suns insider John Gambadoro.
For Beal, he has struggled during his two seasons in Phoenix as he has been hit with multiple injuries and his fit next to Booker and Durant was not a great one.
Now the 32-year-old star could end up being bought out like the Bucks did with Damian Lillard where he would become one of the top free agency targets this offseason for contending teams.
