PHOENIX SUNS PULL OFF BLOCKBUSTER DEAL, SIGN DORIAN FINNEY-SMITH TO $85 MILLION CONTRACT.
In a stunning move, the Phoenix Suns have officially confirmed the signing of Brooklyn Nets power forward Dorian Finney-Smith in a blockbuster deal worth $85 million. The agreement, which was finalized on Wednesday, marks a significant coup for the Suns, who have been aggressively pursuing top talent in the offseason.
Finney-Smith, a 6-foot-8 power forward, has developed into one of the most versatile and reliable players in the league. Over the past four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets, he has averaged 8.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game, while shooting 39.5% from three-point range.
The Suns’ decision to sign Finney-Smith to a lucrative four-year deal is a clear indication of their commitment to building a championship-caliber roster. With Finney-Smith on board, the Suns now boast a formidable frontcourt duo, alongside center Deandre Ayton.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dorian Finney-Smith to the Phoenix Suns family,” said Suns General Manager James Jones. “Dorian’s unique blend of size, skill, and defensive prowess makes him an ideal fit for our team. We believe he will be a key contributor to our success for years to come.”
Finney-Smith’s signing is also expected to have a significant impact on the Suns’ defensive capabilities. He is widely regarded as one of the top defensive power forwards in the league, with the ability to guard multiple positions and protect the rim.
“I’m extremely excited to join the Phoenix Suns organization,” Finney-Smith said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to working with Coach Monty Williams and my new teammates to bring a championship to the city of Phoenix.”
The Suns’ blockbuster deal for Finney-Smith is the latest move in a busy offseason for the team. With Finney-Smith on board, the Suns are now poised to make a deep playoff run in the Western Conference.
