Sources say Phoenix is talking trades that could net a first-round pick in this draft. The Suns are currently only guaranteed to make one pick next week: No. 47 in Wednesday's second round.
Gerald Bouquet: Seeing the Ja Morant-to-Phoenix talk heating up again. Already shot this one down a few weeks back, but a source reiterated today that the Suns are not interested in trading for Morant
Rasheer Fleming was preparing for the 2025 NBA Draft at this time last year. He never had a pre-draft workout in Phoenix, but the Suns wound up making multiple draft moves to land him with the first pick of the second round (31st overall). “That’s crazy how that turned out,” Fleming said June 5 at the organization’s youth basketball camp at West Point High in Avondale. “It flew by so fast. I was just talking with BG (Suns general manager) Brian Gregory about that.”
But along came the upstart Spurs to beat the defending champs in seven games in the Western Conference finals. “There’s no guarantee you are going to get better,” Barnes said. “Look at the last five teams that have been in the Finals. How many of them everyone said, Oh, OKC is going to here for the next three years. Phoenix is going to be there for the next the three years. Milwaukee, Denver, every single time, you have no idea.”

The Suns, I'm told, indeed want to secure a long-term stay for Brooks after his role in establishing them as the West's foremost regular season surprise team, but sources say that Phoenix is also mindful of the fact that an extension would kick in for Brooks' age-32 season since there is currently only one season left on his contract in 2026-27 at $21 million.

The basketball world is honoring a trailblazer who dedicated his life to the game. Tommy Nuñez Sr., who grew up in Phoenix and became the first Hispanic referee in the NBA in 1972, died Friday. He refereed for more than 30 years in the NBA before retiring in 2002.

Bobby Marks: With Phoenix reaching the playoffs, Dillon Brooks has earned a $1M bonus. The bonus was deemed unlikely before the season because Phoenix did not reach the postseason last year.
Duane Rankin: Kevin Durant on how things ended in Phoenix: "I'm pretty much over it. At the time, it was tough to take. A place I wanted to be. I wanted to keep building, but it's the business of the league and it's the business of basketball. You're not going to be in the same place all the time. It is what it is. Yeah, I was sour early on, but I think I've gotten over it. Time heals all. Just move on." #Suns #Rockets
