The Suns continued their seismic offseason roster overhaul on Sunday after reportedly landing one of the top remaining role players available on the free agent market.
Phoenix and guard Eric Gordon agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. The move comes just three days after the coveted 16-year veteran became available following the Clippers’ decision to decline the last year of a four-year, $75 million contract he inked in 2019.
Gordon, who was dealt to L.A. from the Rockets, reportedly chose the Suns after considering “more lucrative deals” from “multiple contenders,” per Charania. The sharpshooter drew notable interest from around the NBA after his release, with the Lakers, Grizzlies, Bucks, Timberwolves and Trail Blazers listed among the teams.
