Expected for several weeks, the extension of Royce O'Neale is now closed at Phoenix, ESPN citing a four-year, $44 million contract.
A logical decision on the part of Sunsin the red financially, but who played on the duration and not the amount of the lease to convince the 31-year-old winger to re-enlist in Arizona.
Valuable with his outside shooting and defense, Royce O'Neale arrived in February in Phoenix, where he quickly settled into the rotation. He is coming off a season averaging 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists, for 37% success from 3-point range, starting it in Brooklyn before being traded at the time of the trade deadline.
