The Phoenix Suns appear to be set on running back a majority of their roster from their record-breaking, 64-win 2021-22 season.
After they did not trade for Brooklyn Nets superstar forward Kevin Durant, the Suns will at least return their core: All-Star guards Chris Paul and Devin Booker; Defensive Player of the Year runner-up Mikal Bridges; and starting center Deandre Ayton, who signed a four-year, $133 million offer sheet with the Indiana Pacers that Phoenix matched in his restricted free agency.
The Suns have multiple players on expiring contracts, including starting forward Jae Crowder, backup forwards Cameron Johnson and Dario Saric, which means they could make more deals ahead of and during this season.
