The Phoenix Suns’ 2023-2024 season ended earlier than expected.
Despite having momentum heading into the playoffs, they were swept by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. Now, the team must reassess and make changes during the offseason to improve their chances for next year.
They have already hired a new coach, Mike Budenholzer, and made several key roster decisions.
One significant decision, as Shams Charania reported on Twitter, was re-signing Josh Okogie to a two-year contract worth $16 million. Okogie has been a reliable role player for the Suns, and the team is rewarding him with this new contract.
Although this move doesn’t alleviate the Suns’ salary cap concerns, it does secure one of their bench players for the future.
With Devin Booker and Kevin Durant among the league’s top players, the Suns have the potential for a high ceiling if they can hit their stride at the right time. Momentum is crucial in the NBA.
