The Suns had LaMarcus Aldridge wavering from the Spurs, maybe even favoring the Suns at one point Friday.
It would have been a franchise-altering move.
There are no remaining high-impact free agents for the Suns with the kind of thunder to jolt the Western Conference. That sort of rumble is more likely to come by trade — but not anytime soon.
The Suns will pursue free agents to fortify the front line and to add a third point guard. After signing Tyson Chandler to a four-year, $52 million contract, the Suns will have about $8 million of salary-cap space to do so.
