The Phoenix Suns are looking to add a veteran ballhandler after losing Tyus Jones in free agency, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

The team have been linked with Chris Paul, though Paul is now expected to sign with the Clippers.

The Suns have also been in recent contact with Ben Simmons, who has also drawn interest from the Knicks, Celtics, and Kings.

The Suns were also a finalist for Marcus Smart, though Smart signed with the Lakers after getting recruited by Luka Doncic.
