Suns Reportedly Signing Terrence Ross
The Phoenix Suns continue adding talent to their roster.
It's been a long stretch of days for the Suns, who initially acquired Kevin Durant, TJ Warren and Darius Bazley at the NBA's trade deadline.
The talent keeps coming, however. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports the Suns are planning on signing Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross after he finalizes a buyout with the team.
Phoenix wasn't the only team interested in his services:
"The Dallas Mavericks had emerged as a frontrunner earlier Saturday, but the Suns made the case to Ross on the opportunity to join Devin Booker and Kevin Durant to bolster the Suns' depleted wing depth on what figures to be a deep playoff run," said Wojnarowski.
Phoenix has locked some serious shooting down the depths of their lineup, and though they do have one of the league's best three-point shooters in Damion Lee, the Suns couldn't turn an opportunity down to add another deep shooter to their roster.
He's also fairly athletic.
Ross now joins a team that's heavily favored to make a deep push into the playoffs. With a starting lineup of Chris Paul - Devin Booker - Kevin Durant - TJ Warren - Deandre Ayton and strong role players coming off the bench, many believe the Suns can compete with anybody in the Western Conference.
Ross is 32-years-old and averages a stat line of 8 points 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists per night coming off the bench for Orlando. He initially entered the league as the No. 8 overall pick in 2012 and has only played for the Raptors/Magic thus far.
The Suns have won their last 10-of-13 games and will play again on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings.
