Suns' Roster Shake-up: O'Neale & Allen on the Block?
26 Jun
Summary
- Suns re-signed Gillespie and Goodwin, drafted Koa Peat.
- Exploring trades for Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen.
- Team had a -9 net rating with both O'Neale and Allen on court.
The Phoenix Suns are actively shaping their roster for the future after returning to the playoffs with a 45-win season in 2025-26. Recent moves by GM Brian Gregory include re-signing Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, and drafting highly-touted recruit Koa Peat.
Significant decisions loom regarding veterans Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen, both under contract for multiple years. While Allen provided playmaking and scoring, and O'Neale offered shooting and veteran presence, their shared court time resulted in a -9 net rating last season.
Trading one of these players could allow for developing prospects like Rasheer Fleming and reallocate minutes under coach Jordan Ott. O'Neale's contract is considered movable, though his size was a concern in the playoffs. Allen's valuable skills could attract an external offer, potentially from a team like the Orlando Magic.
