Serge Ibaka is another splashy name that many Suns fans are surely clammoring for. Although, much like with Blake Griffin, the team is probably not in a position to sign him at this time.

Though not the defensive stalwart he once was when an opponent might have been somewhat freighted to put up a shot in his general vicinity, Ibaka can still score and rebound, and has developed into a legitimate threat when left open beyond the arc.

However, he too will be 28 when the season begins and is by no means a centerpiece to build around. In fact, if the Suns did make a strong push to sign him, it is probably the final big move of an entirely re-designed team built to win now, and as exciting as that sounds, the reality of that is probably nothing more than an NBA2K17 sim on a YouTube video.
