Phoenix Suns

Aggressively upgraded the frontcourt and wing depth by acquiring Miles Bridges in a multi-pick blockbuster and retaining Mark Williams at $38M over three years, solidifying interior presence beside Booker and Green. Locked in Dillon Brooks on a fully guaranteed 3yr/$73M extension through 2029-30 — reportedly well below his max ask — and brought back Haywood Highsmith on a minimum (Exhibit 3) after waiving him to manage the repeater tax. Extended Gillespie ($48M/4yr) and retained Goodwin and Kennard for the perimeter rotation. Deep into the second apron, but fielding a legitimate top-four West roster. The window is definitively now.

Sent out cash in a trade — team salary cannot exceed $221.7M at any point this season.
