The Phoenix Suns have undergone a significant roster overhaul following a disappointing season, highlighted by the departures of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Devin Booker is now the sole star remaining, and the team has committed to building around him with a lucrative contract extension. The Suns bolstered their roster by adding talents like Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks through trades and the draft, selecting Khaman Maluach 10th overall with a pick acquired from the Houston Rockets.

Reports suggest the Suns declined a trade offer from the New Orleans Pelicans that included an unprotected first-round pick, which may become valuable if the Pelicans struggle this season. The Suns' decision not to trade could come back to haunt them if the Pelicans finish poorly, potentially losing out on a top draft pick next year.
