No.
The Phoenix Suns have signaled a willingness to bring back a majority of their roster going into next season. With that in mind, the Suns have several items on the offseason agenda, including a potential extension for Dillon Brooks and navigating free agency for center Mark Williams and guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin.
In his first season with Phoenix, Brooks remained a strong defender, helped change the team’s culture, and became a 20-point-per-game scorer for the first time in his career. At 30, Brooks enters the upcoming season on the books for $21 million. Looking ahead, Brooks could earn a potential extension around an average of $25 million per season.
Williams, the team’s starting center, will enter restricted free agency after being tendered his $9.62 million qualifying offer, as Spotrac’s Keith Smith reported. Barring interest from the Chicago Bulls, who are projected to have significant cap space available on the free agent center market, Williams’ range is projected to be around the non-taxpayer mid-level exception starting at $15 million per year, give or take a few million dollars. Should Williams draw interest for the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception elsewhere, the Suns could go slightly above that range on a short-term deal.
Gillespie had a breakout season in Phoenix, averaging career-highs in points (12.7), assists (4.6), and steals (1.2), while starting 58 of 80 games. As Gillespie nears his 27th birthday on June 25th, the career 40.5 percent 3-point shooter is in line for a big pay raise. Within league circles, Gillespie was projected to earn roughly $13 million per season on his next deal. According to ESPN, he’s now agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal to remain with the Suns.
Similarly, Goodwin had a breakout season, averaging career-highs in points (8.7), rebounds (4.9), and steals (1.5) in 70 games. Within league circles, Goodwin’s projected salary range is believed to be around $5-6 million per season.
Lastly, the Suns have also done some background on Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey, HoopsHype has learned.
Did he say why? Is it because we have no interest? If CHI puts him on the market I'd really want to try to make it happen. A sign and trade with Williams, or something with a combination of Green, Allen and O'Neale. He is not perfect but I'd love to watch a lineup of Giddey-Booker-Brooks-Fleming-Maluach.

The Dallas Mavericks are plucking Dusty May from the college ranks and will make him their head coach, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.
May, who led Florida Atlantic to a Final Four appearance in 2023 and won a national championship with Michigan in April, will take charge of a Mavericks team built around reigning Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg.
May, 49, got his start in basketball as a student manager at Indiana under legendary coach Bob Knight. May worked his way up the college ranks before being hired as a first-time head coach at Florida Atlantic in 2018. The Owls went a combined 60-13 in May’s final two seasons before he left for Michigan in 2024.
The two seasons May spent at Michigan were a resounding success. The Wolverines went 27-10 in 2024-25, a 19-win improvement from the previous season. Then last season, Michigan finished with a 37-3 record and defeated Connecticut in the national championship game. Three of the Wolverines’ starters — Yaxel Lendeborg, Morez Johnson Jr. and Aday Mara — are expected to be first-round picks in this week’s NBA Draft.
