In an off season where the Suns (finally) decided to part ways with Steve Nash and Grant Hill and rebuild by acquiring young players and draft picks, fans have been both optimistic and pessimistic about it all.
Suns drafted Kendall Marshall with the 13th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

Wanting to be closer to his family, the Suns awarded him his wish and traded Steve Nash to the Lakers for four draft picks -- first rounders in 2013 and 2015 and second rounders in 2013 and 2014.

Even though he wanted to return, the Suns let Grant Hill walk as a free agent.

Suns signed Goran Dragic to a 4 year $30 million deal (with incentives of $1M/yr for making the All Star team)

There likely will be a few more moves going forward but I think its fair to say that there won't be anymore "major" signings or acquisitions.
IMO considering the extreme circumstances, I give the Suns a "B". I wasn't a fan of drafting Kendall Marshall but I'm content with all the other moves.
