Suns owner Sarver ready for important summer

The Phoenix Suns will have around $28 million in cap space
this summer, provided none of their own free agents
return.
A guest on Arizona Sports 620’s Burns and Gambo, Suns
owner Robert Sarver said the team will have money to
spend, and there are some players who they’re interested
in spending it on.
“A number of them have some interest in our franchise, and
we have interest in some of them,” he said about the
league’s free agents. “We’ll have to see how it plays
out.”
Sarver said the team’s goal is to “get ourselves back to
the elite status we had for the three years that we went
to the Western Conference Finals,” but isn’t sure they
will be able to accomplish that goal this summer.
While Sarver can’t comment on free agents from other
teams, he is able to discuss Steve Nash.
Nash, as you are already probably aware, is a free agent,
able to sign with any team he chooses. He may decide to
stay in Phoenix, which is something the owner would not be
opposed to.
“In a nutshell, if the situation’s right, both parties
would like to continue working together,” he said. “We’re
going to have to kind of work through that and see if we
come away with a win-win for both of us.”
Free agency begins July 1st, and there’s no question the
Suns would like to be busy adding key guys or, at the very
least, keeping their own.
