As free agency comes to an end and we turn our focus to next season, we took some time to answer your Phoenix Suns questions about the road ahead.

The Suns added Trevor Ariza to an already crowded group of wings, and everyone is eager to see how it’ll all shake out by the start of the season.

Ariza, Josh Jackson, Mikal Bridges, T.J. Warren, Marquese Chriss, and Dragan Bender will all be competing for the same two or three spots on the floor, and there are plenty of combinations to try out.

In this mailbag, we answer the following questions sent in by fans via Twitter @ValleyoftheSuns:

  • How will lineups featuring Mikal Bridges, Josh Jackson, and Trevor Ariza fair defensively?
  • Whose minutes will be most affected by depth: Marquese Chriss or Dragan Bender?
  • What is the best training camp battle to watch, and should Kokoskov set his initial lineup to avoid conflict?
  • Will there be another trade, possibly shipping a wing for a power forward?
  • How good will the team be defensively? Is the worst behind us, or are more 40 point losses to come?
  • What would be your dream trade scenario involving Warren and either Chriss or Bender?
  • Who will be the sixth man, and of the candidates, who would be most salty about not starting?

These are the questions people have on their minds, and we have the answers. Read what we have to say, and let us know your thoughts in the comments. For any other questions, or to let us know other topics you’d like us to write about, drop a comment below or hit us up on Twitter.
