In addition to an unforeseen development in the Jonathan Kuminga situation in San Francisco – which seems to be unlikely at this point – the Phoenix Suns are ready with all the most important schedules they have undertaken out of season this season. Their team is now being reformed around Devin Booker, although there are many questions about that supporting cast.
A player who will not be back in the valley before 2025-26 is Cody Martin, who secured the Suns in an exchange with the Charlotte Hornets at the Handelsdeadline. That will always go in Phoenix if the deal that finally frees the franchise from the center of Jusuf Nurkic, and for that reason Martin will only be reminded of his short, 14 -game stint.
Martin a target for the Golden State Warriors in Blow to Suns.
The reason that the Suns Martin could not keep out of season this season – they let him go as soon as the campaign was ready – was more to do with money than something else. At that time the organization was still in the second apron, and this was before Kevin Durant was traded and Bradley Beal was bought out.
To prevent Martin from having to go – as well as Vasilije Micić – Martin had to go – as well as Vasilije Micić, what is exactly what happened. But with the 29 -year -old Martin who was not signed – and with the Warriors who have theoretically available six schedule spots – Jake Fischer has reported that Golden State is interested in Martin.

From their perspective it would be very logical, even if the Kuminga situation loves the company that they want to do. The conviction is that they only have three open grilles, as the will of Al Horford is promised one once the Kuminga situation has been resolved. If it is ever.
But the Warriors who are lucky in Martin is a problem for Phoenix, because he is exactly the kind of player with this new version of their selection. A veteran who can defend various functions on the field and who could have excited playing in addition to a man like Dillon Brooks trying to get the best out of his teammates.
We have already seen him play hard in the valley, and as an older player he could have taken care of 18-year-old Kaman Maluach. Offensing, he is far from a zero that is there, although one of his best qualities is how he can exist alongside superstars such as Durant and Booker. Those skills are becoming important again this season, although the Suns are not fighting.
The attacking strategy will have a lot of booker or jalen green with the ball, and Martin could have picked his spots while he would back up Brooks from the bank on the other side of the bank. These are qualities that the Warriors probably benefit from instead, and it already feels like Martin is one that has escaped. Right player, unfortunately wrong time.
