Crazy Saturday as early in the morning it was reported that he was going to sign with the Mavericks, Dallas had the best odds to land him. Ten hours later, reports came out that the Suns would be signing Terrence Ross.
Dallas won’t be getting the wing player, instead, it is Phoenix getting the wing player for better depth in preparation for making a deep playoff run.
The Suns convinced him by presenting the case of playing with Kevin Durant and going after a deep playoff run.
The Mavericks couldn’t match what the Suns offered – in terms of persuasion and gave Phoenix leverage to sign him.
As long as Ross accepts the buyout by March 1st, he will be eligible to play on the Suns’ playoff roster. That would be the final step in the signing process to get Ross.
