Former Suns Forward Projected to Sign With Contender

"If the Miami Heat aren't able to swing a deal for Damian Lillard prior to training camp, they should be in the market for a little offensive juice, and T.J. Warren had some moments in 2022-23 when he appeared capable of providing that," wrote Andy Bailey. 

"The 30-year-old wing who averaged 19.3 points from 2017-18 through 2019-20 put up just 7.5 in 2022-23, but that was in 16.4 minutes.

"Per 75 possessions, he averaged 16.7 points. And when he was in the game for the Brooklyn Nets or Phoenix Suns, he flashed a lot of the same craftiness from the short- and mid-range that made him such an interesting scorer before a run of injuries altered his career.

"For a team with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, Warren may not be expected to do a ton, but their 25th-ranked offense could use a little help."

Warren was ranked as the No. 3 free agent available at the time of publish but is now No. 2 after Kelly Oubre (No. 1 on the list) signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.
