\n\t\t\tThe Suns are interesting in signing forward Dillon Brooks to a contract extension this offseason, reports Jake Fischer of The Stein Line (Substack link). Brooks, who will be entering the final year of his current deal, would be eligible to sign for up to four years and a little over $125MM.
\nHowever, the Suns are unlikely to go all the way up to that maximum for Brooks, according to Fischer, who explains that the team is cognizant of the fact that a new deal would begin in the Canadian\u2019s age-32 season. And while Brooks averaged a career-high 20.2 points per game in 2025\/26, his efficiency was \u201cspotty\u201d and his scoring average was buoyed by the fact that Jalen Green missed significant time due to injury, Fischer notes.
\nFor his part, Brooks sounds enthusiastic about sticking with the Suns, expressing at the end of the season that he wants to \u201crun it back\u201d with his teammates and is optimistic about the club taking another step forward next year, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
\n\u201cI\u2019m just happy that (Suns general manager Brian Gregory) and the Suns traded for me and believed in me and understood how I work,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cAnd what I can do for the team and just let me go and be myself and I\u2019m happy for that.\u201d
\nPhoenix will also be facing a handful of free agent decisions this summer, and John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 (Twitter links) expects the team\u2019s top two priorities on that front to be re-signing guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin. Addressing readers\u2019 inquiries about how Mark Williams fits into the Suns\u2019 offseason plans, Gambadoro followed up to clarify that he believes the front office wants to retain the restricted free agent center as well, but that it may be behind new deals for Gillespie and Goodwin on the club\u2019s to-do list.
\nWe have more on the Suns:<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Suns owner Mat Ishbia sought to shut down any potential offseason Devin Booker trade rumors before they begin, as Rankin relays (Twitter video link). \u201cDevin Booker\u2019s our franchise player,\u201d Ishbia said. \u201cI love Devin Booker. Devin Booker loves to be here. Our coach loves Devin Booker. Our GM loves Devin Booker. Devin Booker\u2019s going to be here. Devin Booker\u2019s going to lead us to a championship here in Phoenix, that\u2019s what he\u2019s going to do. \u2026 The national media just says stuff to say stuff sometimes. Sometimes I like to respond and sometimes I don\u2019t, because it\u2019s just ridiculous, but Devin Booker\u2019s not getting traded.\u201d
\nIshbia also said during today\u2019s presser that the comments Tom Izzo made about the Suns\u2019 coaching job several weeks ago were \u201cmisunderstood\u201d (Twitter video link via Rankin). Izzo suggested during a TV interview that he was offered Phoenix\u2019s head coaching position in 2025 before the team hired Jordan Ott, but Ishbia disputed that claim while noting that he talks to the longtime Michigan State coach \u201cabout everything, all the time.\u201d
\nWithin a breakdown of Phoenix\u2019s upcoming offseason for The Arizona Republic, Rankin writes that upgrading at power forward should be one of the front office\u2019s primary goals in the coming months after the team ranked 27th in defensive rebounding rate in 2025\/26. Rankin also wonders if the Suns will remain comfortable moving forward without a true point guard after only getting a look at the Booker\/Green duo for 27 games together.<\/p>\n
