The Phoenix Suns have reached an agreement with free agent forward Royce O’Neale on a lucrative four-year, $44 million deal, according to sources close to the situation.
O’Neale, who is 31 years old, is set to continue his career with the Suns after being acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade deal last season. Standing at 6-foot-4, O’Neale made an immediate impact on the Suns roster, providing much-needed perimeter defense and bolstering the team’s shooting alongside stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. With a career three-point shooting percentage of 38.1% and extensive postseason experience, O’Neale brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to the Suns lineup.
In addition to O’Neale, the Phoenix Suns are also bringing back versatile forward/center Bol Bol on a one-year deal, sources have confirmed. Bol, who is 24 years old, had a somewhat limited role with the Suns initially but ultimately found his stride in the second half of the season. Standing at an impressive 7-foot-3, Bol possesses the ability to handle the ball and make highlight-reel plays, making him a fan favorite wherever he goes. Despite not seeing as much playing time with Phoenix as he did with the Magic in the previous season, Bol showcased significant improvements in his shooting percentages, hitting 61.6% from the field and 42.3% from beyond the arc.
The re-signing of Royce O’Neale and Bol Bol signals the Phoenix Suns‘ commitment to building a competitive and well-rounded roster for the upcoming season. With O’Neale’s defensive prowess and shooting abilities, and Bol’s unique skill set and potential for growth, the Suns look poised to make a strong run in the postseason. As they continue to solidify their roster and make strategic moves in the offseason, the Suns are positioning themselves as a formidable force in the Western Conference. Fans can expect an exciting and promising season ahead with O’Neale and Bol back in the mix for Phoenix.
