Dillon Brooks Looks to Expand Game
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks said at a Friday media session that he wants to sharpen his three-point shooting, passing, and finishing around the rim after signing a three-year, $73 million extension. The former second-round pick is coming off a career-best 20.2 points per game, but his supporting numbers stayed light at 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists while his three-point rate dipped to 34.4 percent. That thin peripheral profile is the fantasy concern. If Brooks adds more playmaking under Jordan Ott, his value gets less scoring-dependent. If not, Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard could squeeze his usage and leave him as more of a points-and-threes option.

Haywood Highsmith Waived by Suns
HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports that the Phoenix Suns have waived forward Haywood Highsmith. The 3-and-D wing had $1 million partially guaranteed on his roughly $3 million salary for 2026-27, which Phoenix will carry unless another team claims him on waivers. The Suns added Highsmith in February after Brooklyn released him, but an August right knee meniscal tear and surgery wiped out most of his season. He appeared in seven regular-season games for Phoenix, logging 91 total minutes. Highsmith owns career averages of 5.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 37.9 percent shooting from three across six seasons. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Suns Lock Up Dillon Brooks Through 2029-30
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension through 2029-30, Mike George of Klutch Sports told ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal rewards a career season for Brooks, who averaged 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in 30.4 minutes while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from three. His edge fits what head coach Jordan Ott wants, but the fantasy concern is shot volume. With Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Miles Bridges all in Phoenix, Brooks may not keep the 17.1 field-goal attempts per game that fueled last season's scoring jump. He remains useful, but last year looks more like the ceiling than the baseline.

Suns Hope to Sign Miles Bridges to a Long-Term Extension
Phoenix Suns forward Miles Bridges is expected to be part of the team's long-term plans after arriving from Charlotte this offseason, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Bridges enters the final year of his contract at $22.83 million and would be a free agent next summer, so Phoenix has incentive to lock him in. On the floor, that is a positive fantasy signal: he steps into a defined starting forward role next to Devin Booker on a retooled, post-Durant roster. Bridges averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists on 46.0 percent shooting across 77 games last season and has topped 20 points a night in three different years. Draft him as a steady mid-round scorer, with a crowded Suns wing group the only cap on a bigger leap.

Pat Spencer Signs Two-Way Deal With the Suns
Free-agent guard Pat Spencer has agreed to a two-way contract with the Phoenix Suns, Shams Charania of ESPN reports, ending a three-year run in Golden State. A former Loyola Maryland lacrosse legend who reinvented himself as an NBA guard, Spencer set career highs last season with 7.2 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 18.6 minutes while shooting 40.0 percent from deep. The fantasy catch is the fine print: two-way players are capped at 50 active NBA games and typically live in the G League. Spencer also lands in a crowded backcourt behind Devin Booker and Jalen Green, with Collin Gillespie and the retained Jamaree Bouyea ahead of him for reserve minutes. Expect a G League-heavy season with the Valley Suns, which keeps a good story off fantasy radars.

Luke Kennard Lands in Phoenix
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, free-agent guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The deal includes a player option for the second season. Kennard joins the Suns after suiting up for three different teams over the past two campaigns. Across 78 regular-season contests last season between the Hawks and Lakers, the 30-year-old averaged 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.7 steals in 21.6 minutes per game. Kennard could see plenty of backcourt minutes with Grayson Allen now in Charlotte.

Royce O'Neale Dealt to the Hornets
Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale has been traded to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, according to Shams Charania. The Suns are trading O'Neale, Grayson Allen, and a 2033 first-round pick to Charlotte in exchange for Miles Bridges and a pair of draft picks. The addition of O'Neale is a solid move by the Hornets, even if it doesn't look flashy on paper. Last season, O'Neale averaged career highs in points (9.8) and three-pointers (2.7) while posting 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals. He's not a superstar player, but should be a solid 3-and-D option for the Hornets. His overall fantasy value will be dependent on where he lands in the rotation.

Grayson Allen Heads to Charlotte
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen has been traded to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. According to Shams Charania, Allen, Royce O'Neale, and a 2033 first-round pick will move to Charlotte in exchange for Miles Bridges and two draft picks. Allen will head elsewhere after playing each of the last three seasons in Phoenix. When healthy, Allen is one of the better three-point shooters in the league while playing above-average defense as well. This past season, Allen averaged 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.0 rebounds across 28.8 minutes per game in 51 contests. His presence is a welcoming sight for the Hornets, who desperately need perimeter depth after trading LaMelo Ball earlier in the week. He figures to remain a viable fantasy contributor as long as he gets consistent minutes in the rotation.

Miles Bridges Traded to the Suns
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was traded to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, according to Shams Charania. The Hornets are sending Bridges and a 2029 first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick to the Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, and a 2033 first-round pick. The Hornets have now traded two of their biggest pieces in less than a week. Bridges has been a reliable contributor for the Hornets since joining the team in 2018. This past season, Bridges averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists across 31.0 minutes per game in 77 contests. He's entering the final year of his contract, which is likely why the Hornets didn't get a huge return on him. The expectation is that Bridges will move into the starting five, which will limit the overall value of Dillon Brooks. This isn't a terrible landing spot for Bridges, but the Suns do have Devin Booker and Jalen Green as their primary scoring options. Bridges might see a slight downturn in value with the move to Phoenix.

Mark Williams Agrees to a Three-Year Deal With the Suns
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams intends to sign a fully guaranteed three-year, $38 million contract to return to Phoenix. The 24-year-old is coming off the healthiest season of his career, averaging 11.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.9 steals in 23.6 minutes while shooting 64.4 percent from the field. He still carries availability risk after missing the first-round series with a left foot stress reaction, but the deal gives him the inside track to remain Phoenix's starting center. Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro are worth monitoring behind him, although Williams should remain the preferred fantasy option if he holds the top role.

Koa Peat Lands in Phoenix After Draft-Day Trade With Dallas
The Dallas Mavericks selected Arizona forward Koa Peat with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and sent his rights to the Phoenix Suns. The 19-year-old will remain in Arizona after a successful freshman season in which he helped the Wildcats win a Big 12 title and reach the Final Four. Peat started all 36 games while averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across 27.8 minutes per appearance. A multi-faceted forward with strong playmaking skills, Peat could compete for reserve frontcourt minutes behind veteran Kevin Durant as a rookie.

Jordan Goodwin Re-Signs with Phoenix on Three-Year Deal
Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin intends to re-sign with the team on a three-year, $19 million deal that includes a player option in the third season, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The 27-year-old turned a non-guaranteed training-camp contract into a career year, averaging 8.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 steals across 70 games. Goodwin's rebounding and on-ball defense stand out for a guard, but his fantasy value lives and dies with his minutes. Phoenix already returns a crowded backcourt of Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Grayson Allen, and Collin Gillespie, so Goodwin stays off fantasy radars in most leagues and matters only when injuries reopen a rotation spot, as happened repeatedly last season.

Collin Gillespie Returning to Suns on Four-Year Deal
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie intends to sign a four-year, $48 million deal to return to Phoenix. The 26-year-old turned last summer's one-year commitment into real long-term security after averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals across 80 games. He also buried a franchise-record 232 triples, breaking Quentin Richardson's previous Suns mark of 226. Gillespie's fantasy value should remain built around threes, assists, and steals, with Devin Booker and Jalen Green keeping his scoring ceiling more matchup-dependent than bankable.

Suns Tender Qualifying Offers to Mark Williams and Koby Brea
The Phoenix Suns have tendered qualifying offers to center Mark Williams and guard Koby Brea, making both restricted free agents, Spotrac's Keith Smith reports. Williams drew a reported $9.6 million offer after the 24-year-old started 55 of 60 games and averaged 11.7 points and 8.0 rebounds. A late-season foot issue that sidelined him during Phoenix's first-round series against Oklahoma City clouds both his market and durability profile. If Phoenix loses or moves Williams, Oso Ighodaro and 2025 lottery pick Khaman Maluach would be candidates for larger center minutes. Ighodaro carries the cleaner near-term fantasy appeal, while Brea remains off fantasy radars after averaging 15.0 points in the G League.

Suns Face Bouyea Option Call, with Mark Williams the Name to Watch
The Phoenix Suns face a busy offseason headlined by Jamaree Bouyea's $2.6 million team option and a group of internal free agents, including Jordan Goodwin, Collin Gillespie, Amir Coffey, and Mark Williams. Most of these are depth decisions with little fantasy weight, with Gillespie and Goodwin reported as the Suns' top re-sign priorities after Gillespie's breakout 12.7 points and 4.6 assists. The name fantasy managers should track is Williams, a restricted free agent and the only center among this free-agent group. He posted a career-high 60 games this season, a step forward for a player whose career average sits near 41 games a year, so his health and where he signs will decide his streaming value. If Phoenix retains him, he profiles as a useful per-minute rebounding and scoring big whenever he is on the floor.
