The Phoenix Suns continue to rebuild their roster this offseason by making numerous moves.
They made a bold move by acquiring Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal earlier in the offseason.
But that was only the first of many moves made by the Suns.
They have completely revamped their roster including an overhaul of their bench.
The Suns will look different at point guard next season.
Chris Paul is now with the Golden State Warriors and they just traded Cam Payne to the San Antonio Spurs.
According to Shams Charania, the Suns traded Payne, a second-round pick, and cash to the Spurs.

This trade might not seem like much, but Payne was the last true point guard on their roster.
Last season he averaged 10.3 points and 4.5 assists in 20.2 minutes.
Also, he was able to fill in admirably when Paul missed time.
But the Suns are more focused on players that can score than facilitate.
They are expecting Beal to be their point guard next year.
Due to salary cap restraints, the Suns had to go bargain-hunting for their role players.
This has made finding a true backup point guard difficult.
Even though their starting lineup is one of the best in the league, their depth will be an issue.
Anything short of an NBA Finals appearance will be a disappointment for the Suns.
They have all the pieces in place and have built a superteam.
