Phoenix Suns

Owner: Jeff

Owner Analysis: One of the true OG's on this site. I have to keep it 100 and say my experience is that Jeff doesn't expend the same time in these leagues as some of the most successful owners. However he has done good things with this Phoenix franchise. 

Current Roster:
Top 25 - 2 (Mikal, Lillard)
Top 50 - 1 (Maxey)
Top 75 - 0
Top 100 - 3 (Poeltl, Vucevic, Kuzma)
Top 150 - 3 (Draymond, Jonas V., Q.Grimes)
Top 200 - 2 (Monk, Nembhard)

Extension Decisions: 
Dame Lillard UFA is $23m (This actually seems cheap for Dame. I get that he is aging but a 2 yr deal would be adequate)
Quentin Grimes UFA is $9m (For some reason Grimes keeps getting his minutes jerked around in NY. This seems steep but he could easily outperform with consistent time)
Trey Lyles UFA is $6m (I was shocked to find out Lyles is still in the league)
Nikola Vucevic UFA is $27.5m (Fantrax rankings love this guy. His extension is expensive for a Top 100 asset. He went 43rd overall in my redraft league. Tough call)

Can't Extend:
Seth Curry, Keita Bates-Diop & Troy Brown (Once again will be difficult to see any of these guys as more than minimum contract players)

Deep Sleepers: 
No one truly qualifies as Nembhard would be the closest candidate but he is a Top 200 guy which isn't deep in this league.

Outlook: The West is going to be a dogfight but this team will be firmly in the mix for a playoff spot. Once there anything can happen. More concerning is their cap situation next year. Only $16m available at this point which means they would lose both Dame and Vucevic most likely.
