The Phoenix Suns struck hard and fast in free agency, locking down 6 players in 90 minutes. This included bringing back Damion Lee and Josh Okogie. It also included bringing in SF Keita Bates-Diop, SF Yuta Watanabe, PF/C Chimezie Metu, and C Drew Eubanks. All of them signed for veteran minimum contracts, given that is all the Suns could offer being over the second apron.
Based on John Hollinger’s BORD$ metric, all of these players were worth more than the minimum, meaning that the Suns got the “super-team championship run” discount.
