The Phoenix Suns' 2025-26 roster is filled with players who have something to prove after being overlooked or written off over the years. New acquisitions
While he might be a few years removed from the roster, former Utah Jazz forward (and current member of the Phoenix Suns) Royce O'Neale may be among the most underrated NBA players, not just of the past season, but perhaps from across the past half-decade.
The Phoenix Suns are a team making bold moves throughout the offseason, but there's a chance they may not even be done. The Suns still have some veterans that could be moved within the next couple of months, potentially before the start of the season.
Kevin Durant likely won't be the only player the Suns trade away this offseason. Arizona Sports insider John Gambadoro reported Monday that the Suns are open to trade discussions on Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale.
The Phoenix Suns could be looking to move on from two former Utah Jazz players via trade this summer. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Suns could be looking for a trade this offseason involving the likes of Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale, two tenured league veterans who had each of their careers start in Utah.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
We are now over three weeks into the NBA season. The Phoenix Suns have established themselves as one of the best teams in the NBA nearly 10 games into the season behind a reshaped supporting roster, a new head coach in Mike Budenholzer, and a more natural offensive role for each member of the big three.
The Phoenix Suns don't have much control over their pool of free agents - pending or potentially new - though owning the Bird Rights of forward Royce O'Neale will prove pivotal in keeping the wing around long-term.
The Phoenix Suns don't have much wiggle room when it comes to free agency, though owning the Bird Rights to forward Royce O'Neale will go a long way in retaining as much of their core as possible moving into the 2024-25 season.
Fans of the Phoenix Suns will not need to worry about the prospects of losing Royce O'Neale to free agency. ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst reported on the "Hoop Collective" podcast that Phoenix is indeed expected to bring back the sharpshooting wing after acquiring him from the Brooklyn Nets at the trade deadline in Februrary.
The Brooklyn Nets are known as a team to watch whenever the annual NBA trade deadline nears. In 2023, the Nets traded both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant away, leading to them undergoing a retooling period.
