Gillespie’s agents at Excel Sports Management, Jordan Gertler and James Dunleavy, negotiated a deal with Suns executives after teams became eligible to talk to their own free agents last weekend. The sides came together on a deal for a guard who has emerged as a significant member and success story of the team's new culture around grit and toughness.

Last season, Gillespie had a breakout campaign setting a Suns franchise record for 3-pointers with 232 and averaging career-highs in games played (80), points per game (12.7), rebounds per game (4.1), assists per game (4.6) and steals per game (1.2).

We will have to wait to see how the contract pays per season.

It's going to be tough to keep all three players: Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Mark Williams.

Maybe a sign and trade for Williams?

The math is tough unless the Suns want to be a taxpayer.

everyone knows i think williams is gonzo - shoot - i'm wondering who else is gone

All kinds of variables in play. Whoever agrees to the best contract between Goodwin and Williams may end up a keeper.

A thought. The Suns could use their 2027 first round pick to move Allen and get a second round pick or two in return?

That's a good value for both Collin Gillespie and the Phoenix Suns. He earned a much bigger deal than the two-ways and minimums he's been on. And Phoenix keeps him for $12M AAV. Really solid.

If using standard raises, contract will look roughly like this:

26-27: $10.7M
27-28: $11.6 M
28-29: $12.4M
29-30: $13.3M

Pretty rare that we all agree. Great deal for him and the team. We’re off to a great start to the off-season.

Mark Williams has the body of a 48 year old. Anything beyond a one year deal would be tossing cash into the fireplace.

Pretty good deal all the way around for CG, the org and the hardcore fans like us.
When’s the last time that happened.

The Suns seem reluctant to walk away after giving up two first round picks for him. I have to think the Suns are thinking about trading Allen.

Collin Gillespie’s contract has no options and is fully guaranteed, per
@Gambo987
.

His 4-year/$48m deal will start at $10.7m next season.
