Phoenix reportedly joined the Kuminga bidding with a sign-and-trade that wouldn’t include a first-rounder. The Suns’ interest centers on a three- or four-year path with a potential starting four role, aligning with Kuminga’s desire for a meaningful, long-term opportunity rather than a purely tradable asset.

Phoenix is cited as a potential suitor with a four-year offer featuring a player option, highlighting the market's appetite for Kuminga and the Warriors' concern about long-term protection of value.

Gillespie is positioned as the primary backup point guard, with a nine-start sample last season showing floor-general potential and a solid 47.5% 3-point clip. He could become a reliable distributor in a guard-heavy system.

Green is tabbed as a primary backcourt partner for Booker, tasked with evolving from a scorer to a more capable playmaker to complement a guard-heavy offense. His development in playmaking and decision-making will be pivotal to Suns' efficiency.

Booker remains the Suns' primary offensive engine and playmaker, evidenced by a career-high 7.1 assists per game last season. Expect him to continue handling a large share of the creation load, while embracing a multi-guard approach that leverages Green and Gillespie to maintain execution when Booker is off-ball.
