When Masai Ujiri started his run with the Raptors in ‘13-14, Lowry & DeRozan combined to earn 27% of the cap ($15.7 million!) … with Barnes & IQ’s new deals on the books, they will be taking up 50% of the cap in 25-26 ($73M!). Will success follow? sportsnet.ca/nba/article/ra… – 5:22 PM

More on this storyline
Sam DiGiovanni: Caleb Martin on playing for Nick Nurse: “I definitely think I fit, knowing the history of Nick and playing with guys and coaching guys. Kawhi, Kyle — Kyle Lowry, he’s one of my big brothers right now, so anywhere he fits, I know I’ll fit.” -via Twitter / July 9, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: Can confirm Suns are honing in on a PG. Per source, we can rule out Cam Payne and Reggie Bullock (not a PG but there was a report he met w/ PHX). Suns have interest in Kris Dunn, Monte Morris or Kyle Lowry, with Dunn No. 1. Other teams can offer more, so Dunn may be tough to get -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / July 1, 2024
The Phoenix Suns have had dialogue with Josh Okogie on a potential return over the past several days, league sources told HoopsHype. The two sides have discussed the possibility of a multi-year deal, HoopsHype has learned. -via HoopsHype / July 6, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: Damion Lee will return on a vet minimum deal ($2.8M) after all, per source. The Suns are still working to bring Josh Okogie back, which will be for more than the vet minimum using his Bird rights because other teams want him too. Phoenix values his point-of-attack defense (1/2) -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / July 3, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: Per a source, Josh Okogie opting out doesn’t mean he’s gone. Suns want to re-sign him for a little more than vet min. Top priority is Royce O’Neale (which they’ll get done), then Okogie, then Bol Bol (may be tougher). After that, they’ll target a vet min. PG and maybe a 2-guard -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / June 28, 2024
