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.

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.
The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.
Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.
Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.
According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.
For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.
Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.
Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
