The Phoenix Suns are making significant changes this offseason, focusing on re-tooling their roster around star Devin Booker after a disappointing last season. The Suns kicked off their transformative efforts by trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets and continued to bolster their lineup during the 2025 NBA Draft. They selected Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, and Koby Brea, while also acquiring Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets.

With these strategic moves, the Suns aim to revitalize their performance and contend in the Western Conference. One potential trade target this summer is Nick Richards; the Lakers have expressed interest in him, needing a reliable starting center to support their star trio of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves. Last season, Richards demonstrated his potential with averages of 9.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, making him an appealing option for Los Angeles.
