Suns Weigh $5.5M–$9M Range to Re-Sign Jordan Goodwin

Overview

• New reporting Friday pegs Jordan Goodwin’s next contract between the bi-annual exception starting near $5.5 million and a multi-year deal in the $7 to $9 million range.
• Phoenix wants to keep Goodwin but is prioritizing a new deal for guard Collin Gillespie, who is projected in the $10 to $13 million range.
• Re-signing both players would likely trigger luxury-tax payments, though Early Bird rights let the Suns go over the cap to keep their own free agents.
• The front office is weighing three paths with center Mark Williams: a team-friendly return, a sign-and-trade if his price climbs, or letting him leave.
• Reports of pursuits for stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Ja Morant were dismissed by a team-connected reporter as “complete nonsense.”
