ThePhoenix Sunshave one of the most exciting rosters in the league now.

After their latest monster trade, the team has Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Bradley Beal on the same team.

But one thing theydon thave is a lot of money.

That means the team is looking to sign some inexpensive veteran stars to bolster their lineup.

Chris Haynes is reporting that the Suns will host a free agent workout this week, featuring both Jabari Parker and Stanley Johnson.

Parker, who last played for the Boston Celtics in the 2021-22 season, was the second overall draft pick back in 2014.

Since joining the league, he has suffered a slew of injuries and has sadly not been able to truly capitalize on his talent.

He averaged 14.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2 assists during his eight seasons in the league.

As for Johnson, he has a career average of 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.

He most recently suited up for the San Antonio Spurs in the 2022-23 season.

These are the sorts of athletes the Suns will be aiming for in the next few months.

Between just Durant, Booker, Ayton, and Beal, the Suns are committed to more than $160 million next season.

They already have a luxury tax total of $16 million, according toBleacher Report.

They are definitely strapped for cash but they still need more talent to enhance their chances of making the playoffs and beyond.

Acquiring cheaper under-the-radar stars like Parker and Johnson would be a smart move.

The Suns might also take a deal for Ayton.

He has been the subject of trade rumors for months now.

That could free up cash and provide them with more players too.

The Suns have already made their biggest moves.

But they aren t done with signings and trades just yet.
