Channing Frye missed last season due to an enlarged heart but has expressed optimism about playing next season.

Still, Frye has not been cleared yet and is seeking opinions of top cardiologists.

The Phoenix Suns are hopeful Frye will play next season.

“We’re optimistic that he’ll be with us and playing,” Ryan McDonough said of Frye. “Channing wants to play and the results he has gotten have been good. Obviously, we just want a consensus.”

The Indiana Pacers have traded Gerald Green, Miles Plumlee and a future first round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Luis Scola, the team announced on Saturday.

"I’m very, very excited to play for the Pacers,” Scola said in a statement. “They are one of the top three teams in the NBA with a good shot to win a championship. I think it’s a great team and this is a great opportunity. I can’t wait.”

"Luis will be a very important asset to our team and to our bench,” Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird said. “He has NBA experience, international experience and is the type of player that will fit in nicely on our roster. I want to thank Gerald and Miles for their contributions. They had tough years last season, but worked hard, never complained and contributed to the great chemistry our team had. I think Gerald and Miles will be solid additions in Phoenix and we wish them well."

Scola has career averages of 14.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.

LAS VEGAS – Amid a strong finish over the final week of NBA summer league, Dionte Christmas has received interest from teams, including from the organization he played for, the Phoenix Suns.

“I’m getting positive feedback from a lot of teams,” Christmas told RealGM. “Perhaps I get a call saying they want to see me in training camp or hopefully sign me for the season.”

Christmas averaged 10.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in seven games, helping lead the Suns to the summer league championship game. In his mind, the Suns are one of the organizations he hopes to land on.

“Yeah, it would be a dream come true,” Christmas said. “If they sign me for the year, that’s what I’m here for and that’s my goal.

“There were a lot of games through the course of three, four weeks in Orlando and Vegas, but I held my own and hopefully I get a call from one of these teams in the next week or so.”

After finishing a four-year career at Temple, Christmas reached deals at different points with the Philadelphia 76ers, Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics, but he ultimately never played a game with either team. Christmas, 26, spent last season overseas.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Phoenix Suns 91-77 to win the 2013 Vegas Summer League Championship.

Marcus Morris had 17 points and si rebounds for the Suns, while Archie Goodwin scored 18.

LAS VEGAS – Through all the backcourt additions that the Phoenix Suns made this offseason, Kendall Marshall stayed in the gym, pinpointing two areas for improvement. In the midst of speculation about his future, Marshall has envisioned himself growing in the backcourt with Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, Shannon Brown and Malcolm Lee, remaining confident he fits into the Suns’ future.

“I’m excited about the team,” Marshall told RealGM. “I know we’re going to play fast next year, and I’m looking forward to that. I have to find my place throughout preseason and throughout training camp to showcase that I can contribute.”

Marshall shot just 37.1 percent from the field in his rookie season, lacking the arc and stability to have faith in his jumper in a given game. Nevertheless, he’s spent the offseason putting up “lots of shots” in Phoenix and summer league, as well as an elevated plan to get stronger.

“The two things that I’ve been really been working on is my body and my jump shot, doing a lot of it,” Marshall said. “I can see some improvements, but I got to continue to make strides if I want to be a contributor on a team.”

For Marshall, being part of trade speculation hasn’t brought frustration, and the 21-year-old isn’t worrying about whether he could be dealt.

“That’s out of my control. All I can control is how hard I work and what I do when I’m on the court,” Marshall told RealGM. “That’s all I’m worried about. Only thing I’m worried about is playing.” 

The Suns know assisting has always been easeful in Marshall’s game, but now both sides understand the importance of developing a respectable scoring game – built around a reliable jump shot. Marshall has discussed with the new coaching staff how an ability to hit shots can improve the team’s offense.

“I just want to continue to get better, continue to play consistently and be a threat offensively,” Marshall said. “I already know passing is a thing that comes easy. If I can score a little bit more, that will help open things up for my team.”
