The Phoenix Suns made modest offseason moves while retaining key pieces from their 45-37 season. Phoenix re-signed Dillon Brooks (three years, $73 million), Devin Booker, Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams, and Jordan Goodwin. The team traded Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale to the Charlotte Hornets for Miles Bridges and acquired Arizona's Koa Peat. Jalen Green's hamstring issues from 2025-26 remain a concern heading into 2026-27.

Phoenix's continuity and strategic adjustments aim to elevate them beyond the Western Conference's middle tier. Coach Jordan Ott's preference for pace-and-space lineups helped Phoenix rank fifth in 3-point attempts last season, but their lack of size proved problematic in the first-round loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Rookie Khaman Maluach, a 7-foot-1 center from South Sudan, could address the size deficiency. He impressed during summer league with improved awareness and the ability to space the floor with open 3-pointers. Maluach's development may be key to Phoenix's playoff aspirations.

ESPN's Zach Kram gave the Suns' offseason a B grade, praising their contract decisions while questioning the Miles Bridges trade involving an unprotected 2033 first-round pick.
