The Phoenix Suns hit the reset button in the 2025 offseason — moving on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal while reloading with youth, defense, and financial flexibility. With Devin Booker firmly established as the franchise cornerstone, Phoenix is betting on a Booker–Jalen Green backcourt and a long-term rebuild around size and athleticism.
🟠 Draft Class
#10 Khaman Maluach (C, Duke) → elite rim protector, long-term anchor potential
#31 Rasheer Fleming (PF, Saint Joseph’s) → rangy defender, versatile athlete
#41 Koby Brea (SG, Kentucky) → knockdown shooter, floor spacer
CJ Huntley (F, Appalachian State) → developmental pickup
🟣 Key Offseason Moves
Coaching + Front Office Overhaul → new leadership to reset culture
Kevin Durant traded to Rockets → major roster and salary reset
Bradley Beal bought out → cleared contract, opened cap space
Added Depth → Dillon Brooks, Royce O’Neale, Grayson Allen, Mark Williams
🟠 Depth Chart Snapshot
PG: Devin Booker, Gillespie, Butler, Brea
SG: Jalen Green, Allen, Goodwin, Livers
SF: Dillon Brooks, Hayes, Fleming, Huntley
PF: Royce O’Neale, Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro
C: Mark Williams, Khaman Maluach, Nick Richards
🟣 Cap Snapshot
Payroll: $186.8M (just under tax line)

Big-Picture Takeaways:
Fresh Start → Suns chose a reset over clinging to fading stars
Booker as Franchise Face → committed to pairing him with Jalen Green
Flexibility Restored → escape from the second apron allows trades & exceptions
Uncertainty Ahead → success depends on Maluach’s growth, Williams’ health, and Booker–Green chemistry
Grade: B → Smart long-term reset, but short-term results may be bumpy
