Jordan Goodwin to re-sign with Phoneix for three years, $19 million

One day after locking down Collin Gillespie with a new contract, the Phoenix Suns have done the same with another member of their guard rotation.

Jordan Goodwin and the Suns have agreed to a three-year, $19 million contract (with a player option on the final season), a story broken by Shams Charania of ESPN and since confirmed by other sources.

Goodwin found a home on the court last season in Phoenix after bouncing around the league for a few years and being waived by the Lakers (to create a roster spot to sign Marcus Smart). Coming off the bench (primarily) for the Suns, he played 70 games and scored 8.7 points a night while shooting 37.1% from 3-point range. He was part of a solid guard rotation in Phoenix. Along with Booker, Gillespie, Grayson Allen and Jalen Green, the Suns formed a quality guard rotation last season that helped lead the team to 45 wins.

Phoenix has now locked down two of its free agent rotation players and reportedly plans to do the same with center Mark Williams, a restricted free agent. With this signing, the Suns move into the luxury tax, reports Keith Smith of Spotrac, but this was expected. Owner Mat Ishbia is willing to spend, but he does not want to go into the second apron (as with nearly every other owner), according to reports.
