Fair deal for both parties. Might approach overpay territory by the final 1-2 years of that contract, but a source I spoke with a few months back insisted the Suns are as high on what he provides off the court as what he provides on it. “Leadership and toughness doesn’t age”

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension through 2029-30, Mike George of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. Brooks has become a key part of the Suns two-way, hard-nosed culture under Jordan Ott and lands a new guaranteed long-term deal.

The Suns look better on paper, but there are still some questions about fit, especially with the projected starting lineup. For @sports360az.bsky.social, I wrote about my 3 biggest concerns for this group:

Finally got around to Toy Story 5. It doesn’t match up to the first three, but it’s very good, packs an emotional wallop, and I’m cool with them continuing to make these sequels as long as the quality remains this high:

It feels dramatic to call this a make-or-break season for Ryan Dunn, but with more competition at his position, he faces a pivotal Year 3 to solidify his place among the Suns' young core. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I wrote about how he can do so:

I don’t think Brand New Day is the best live-action Spider-man flick, or even Tom Holland’s best Spidey movie, but I DID really enjoy the character’s return to his NYC roots, web-slinging action and the pathos it’s grounded in, even if it’s overstuffed:

Shooting is the reason the Suns got Luke Kennard, but the secondary playmaking he brings to the table shouldn't be overlooked. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I took a look at a few ways he can help Phoenix's second unit there:

Still a few things to sort out in the offseason, but now that LeBron James has made his decision, we have a better idea of what the Western Conference looks like. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I ranked all 15 teams in the West to figure out where the Suns stack up:

My top 5 movies of 2026 so far: 1. The Odyssey 2. The Invite 3. The Drama 4. Project Hail Mary 5. Obsession

When it comes to valuing their own draft picks, the Suns have zigged while the rest of the NBA zags. For @sports360az.bsky.social, I wrote about the potential risks and rewards of their strategy for trading picks and reshuffling the deck with quantity over quality:

Still think the Timberwolves would’ve been a better fit for LeBron but the Sixers should be fun too if they can keep their Big 4 healthy

The Invite is one of the best surprises of the year. I know everyone (myself included) is still wrapped up in The Odyssey, but if you have the opportunity see this one in theaters, it’s an excellent, funny, poignant, witty movie that deserves your support:

Will have full thoughts on the Miles Bridges/Brian Gregory comments tomorrow, but yes, it was somewhat telling they didn't broadcast the availability for it despite it being set up like a presser. Glad they addressed everything head on, but this won't (and shouldn't) just go away

From the controversial Miles Bridges trade to re-signing their own free agents, the Suns made plenty of moves this offseason. For @sunsafterdark.bsky.social, I graded each and every one:
