Suns expected to pursue Aldridge and Love in free agency
The Suns want to re-sign Brandon Knight too
The Phoenix Suns are expected to be aggressive on the market from the midnight of July 1 when the free agency begins.
The Suns will try to sign the free agents LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love and try to re-sign Brandon Knight who is going to be restricted free agent.
Per Arizona Central, The Suns have about $12 million of salary cap space, although they will be allowed to exceed the cap in re-signing Knight. Love and Aldridge would demand maximum-level contracts, which would entail the Suns trading players to create the space.
"We're going to be aggressive and target the best players," McDonough said. "I think you'll see us go after the top guys. We hope to get meetings with some of the top free agents and sell them on all Phoenix has to offer.
"You win big in this league with elite players. We had some success over the past couple years, not as much as we'd like this past year, but we're going to be aggressive. There's a great history and tradition here. You saw how a player like Steve Nash transforms an organization when he arrives. We'd be doing a disservice to ourselves and our fans if we didn't go after the top guys."
