Suns’ GM: Long-Term Approach is Unchanged

“Our long-term approach hasn’t changed,” (Suns GM Ryan McDonough) he said. “We’re trying to get great players, through the draft or trade or free agency, but in the short term I think we’re ahead of what most people thought we would be. If we can use things like our cap space to help solidify our team we’ll do that, but at the same time we’re happy with the group we have.”

McDonough did not make a move before last month’s trade deadline, holding to his stance on retaining all of the team’s assets for future improvements. The Suns could have as many as four first-round picks in this year’s draft if Minnesota finishes with the 14th pick or lower. They also own the Lakers’ first-round pick next year.
