The Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves are exploring roster improvements as the offseason begins. Following playoff exits—Phoenix swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota losing to the San Antonio Spurs—the teams are looking at Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey. Giddey, who recently signed a four-year, $100 million contract, averaged career highs in points, assists, and rebounds last season. Timberwolves president Tim Connelly emphasized the need for aggression in their offseason plans. Both teams see a gap at guard, with Minnesota particularly motivated following free agency departures. Re-signing free agent Ayo Dosunmu is a priority for the Timberwolves, while the Suns aim to bolster their already perimeter-oriented roster.
