When James Jones was filling out his roster this past summer, he was looking to add complementary pieces to a team that possessed three offensive juggernauts. Knowing that the Phoenix Suns would be a second apron tax team relative to the salary cap, the only options that he could bring in would be players on veteran minimum deals.
When you have Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal rostered on your team, you will attract quality players who are willing to take a pay cut to be a part of something special.
One of those players was veteran guard, Eric Gordon.
