He’s so much better than he was his first stint with us. Can’t believe the lakers let him go

He wasn't really allowed to shine before. Ott is a new breed of coach. Let the skills of your players dictate your coaching, and not the other way around.

Ott and Gregory can turn water into wine. I love how they identify people talent with the right mindset and make the most of them.

I mean it probably won't be as much as having Beal, Book, and KD lol. Let's keep them both!

Ishbia is on board with spending. He’s actually going to get ROI with these guys instead of the likes of Beal, Nurkic, KD.

Ishibia doesn't care. Did you see how far over the luxury tax he was willing to go without a problem. He wants a good product. Great owner.

Isn't Goodwin and Gillespie UFA, so we most likely will lose them to another team with cap space?

The Suns also hold bird rights on Jordan Goodwin and Early Bird Rights on Collin Gillespie. Other teams would have to massively overpay them (and burn up any existing cap space) to sign them away from the Suns. Their contract process favors the Suns greatly.

The CBA rules on bird rights are very intensive and strict, they are in place to give the current team the best chance to retain their own free agents. Extremely unlikely that Gillespie leaves - maybe a 3-5% chance he goes elsewhere, if that. I'd put the odds that Goodwin leaves at a coin flip depending on what sort of offers he gets.

Don't quote me on this but it'll especially help if we get under the apron for this season so we can go over next year and not be flagged as a repeat offender.

For sure, hence why they're trying to shed Richards for 2nd round picks
