Suns Free Agents Still Available

The Phoenix Suns got off to a strong start in free agency at the end of last week, shocking nearly everyone by acquiring top talent despite being up against the luxury tax.

Eric Gordon, Yuta Watanabe, Keita Bates-Diop, Drew Eubanks and Chimezie Metu were all outside additions to the team, all providing various amounts of length and shooting for a Suns roster that desperately needed both last season.

Phoenix also retained Josh Okogie and Damion Lee to bring their roster of players to 16 - thus mostly putting a cap on Phoenix's offseason moves although one or two more moves could be made for the right player.

Guys such as Jock Landale and Torrey Craig have found new homes after departing Phoenix in free agency.

As of now, there's five former Suns from last year's roster still on the open market.

Bismack Biyombo

Biyombo was an unrestricted free agent heading into the summer. Last season, his contract AAV was $2.9 million. Biyombo played in 61 games for the Suns in 2022-23 and averaged 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 57.8% shooting.

Biyombo (30 years old) first landed in Phoenix on a ten-day contract on Jan. 1 2022 and was re-signed last offseason by the Suns.

T.J. Warren

Warren was an unrestricted free agent heading into the summer. Last season, his contract AAV was $2.6 million. Warren played in 16 games for Phoenix (42 total) and averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and one assist per night on 48.9% shooting.

Warren (almost 30 years old) was initially selected in the first round by Phoenix in the 2014 NBA Draft, where he spent five years with the franchise before being traded to the Indiana Pacers. He recently made his way back at the trade deadline as part of the Brooklyn Nets' trade package that included Kevin Durant.

Terrence Ross

Ross entered the summer as an unrestricted free agent. His contract AAV was $918k for last season. Ross played in a total of 63 games (21 in Phoenix) and averaged 8.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 43% shooting from the field.

Ross (32 years old) joined the Suns back on Feb. 15 after being bought out by the Orlando Magic.

Saben Lee

Lee had a qualifying offer placed on him ahead of free agency, making him an unrestricted free agent heading into the summer. Lee played in 25 games for Phoenix last season and averaged six points. 1.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 40.5% shooting from the field.

Lee joined Phoenix on a 10-day contract back on Jan. 11, where he eventually was signed to a second before being added on a two-way deal by the Suns on Feb. 1.

Darius Bazley

Bazley did not receive a qualifying offer from Phoenix and thus was made an unrestricted free agent before the process began. Last season, his contract AAV was $2.8 million. Bazley played in seven games for the Suns last season (43 total) and averaged 5.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 45.4% shooting.

Bazley (23 years old) joined Phoenix in February after he was traded from Oklahoma City in exchange for Dario Saric, a 2029 second-round pick and cash considerations.
