- The seven-year veteran has been acquired by Phoenix, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. It is also reported that Morris’ contract will pay the veteran minimum. For Phoenix, this is a fantastic under-the-radar addition. Most anticipated Morris would be able to secure a deal at the mid-level exception, at the very least. That was not the case. Morris, a 2017 second-round selection by the Denver Nuggets, has developed into a respectable player.
This upcoming season, the Phoenix Suns intend to use their core three to run it back. Notwithstanding trade rumors, Kevin Durant will rejoin Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Phoenix in an effort to establish themselves as genuine title contenders. Up until now, Mike Budenholzer’s replacement for Frank Vogel has been the biggest alteration made by the Suns. But for Phoenix to become significant, a lot more work needs to be done behind the big three.
This past spring, during his inaugural press conference, Budenholzer mentioned it. A crucial necessity is a point guard. Booker occasionally played out of position for Phoenix last season because the team lacked a true point guard. It is a major contributing factor to the team’s season ending in a Minnesota Timberwolves first-round sweeping. Addressing this position was Phoenix’s first task as the second wave of NBA free agency began on Tuesday.
