The Phoenix Suns have waived Shaquille Harrison and Darrell Arthur.

Arthur was acquired as part of the Jared Dudley trade.

Jamal Crawford has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns.

Crawford has remained a free agent after it became clear he wouldn't re-sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Phoenix Suns have offered Jamal Crawford a contract for the veteran's minimum. 

Crawford met with the Suns on Friday.

“I like Jamal. I know him personally. He’s a great player, he’s a great guy,” Jamal Jones said on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station. “Those are the types of players that we will look towards as we go through the season. More importantly, it’s not even about who potentially could be here or who’s out there. I’m focused on who’s here and we know who those guys are.

“Jamal is a name that — a guy that we’re looking at. He’s someone that we’ve expressed interest in, one of many names.”

Crawford played for the Minnesota Timberwolves last season.

The Phoenix Suns have applied for a disabled player exception for Darrell Arthur.

Arthur was acquired by the Suns from the Brooklyn Nets.

The Phoenix Suns are leaning towards hiring James Jones as general manager on a permanent basis.

Jones assumed GM duties on an interim basis following the firing of Ryan McDonough.

Jones joined the front office of the Suns in 2017 after retiring from his playing career.

Owner Robert Sarver has become increasingly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns fired Ryan McDonough as general manager on Monday just a week before the start of the season.

Sarver already had a strong voice in many moves by the Suns.

 The Phoenix Suns announced today that they have relieved Ryan McDonough of his role as general manager, effective immediately.

In the interim, general manager duties will be handled by Vice President of Basketball Operations James Jones and Assistant General Manager Trevor Bukstein. Jones will manage basketball operations including oversight of coaches, players and staff, while Bukstein will be the primary contact for player transactions.   

“After much thought and a long evaluation of our basketball operations, I have decided to relieve Ryan McDonough of his duties as general manager of the Phoenix Suns,” said Suns Managing Partner, Robert Sarver. “Our focus in the short term is to prepare for the upcoming NBA season and to continue pursuing opportunities to strengthen our roster. Over the course of the season, we will explore both internal and external options as we look to restructure our basketball front office leadership. On behalf of the entire organization, I want to thank Ryan for his efforts and contributions during his five-plus years with the Suns. We wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

The Phoenix Suns have agreed to a jersey sponsorship with PayPal.

As part of the deal, PayPal will be integrated into the Suns' mobile app, which will allow fans to make one-touch payments to buy everything from merchandise to concession items within Talking Stick Arena.

"For us, this deal checked all the boxes," Suns president and CEO Jason Rowley told ESPN. "It was a company with global reach that has the ability to project our brand beyond the local and national footprint, that has a strong presence in our market and is a partner who's focused on consumer innovation."
