John Gambadoro: Mat Ishbia told @BurnsAndGambo yesterday that he expects Dillon Brooks, who is eligible for a 4-year extension, to be in Phoenix long term and that they have to figure out a way to keep him. Said he see's him as part of a championship team in Phoenix over the next 3-4 years.

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.

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
Duane Rankin: Kevin Durant's closing remarks after Rockets morning shootaround as he faces Suns for first time in Phoenix since trade: "I wasn't here long enough to really feel like I left a mark here and that's unfortunate because I want to leave marks everywhere I go, but it is what it is. Move on and appreciate the time spent, but I'm focused on where I'm at now." #Suns #Rockets

Josh Lewenberg: Raptors will be without CMB again tonight in Phoenix. Hope was that he’d be back before the end of the road trip. He’ll have two more opportunities: Monday in Utah and Wednesday at Clippers.
