Yes, one of the pieces the Sixers sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Jimmy Butler trade in November of 2018. The 4-year deal he originally signed with Philadelphia in 2016 expires this summer so he will become a restricted free agent meaning the Phoenix Suns can match any deal which could deter Philadelphia considering the lack of money they have. Normally, teams pay restricted free agents a bit more to try and deter the original team from matching the deal.

Saric is shooting 34.1% from deep for the Suns and averaging 10.1 points and 5.9 rebounds. He brings that energy and hustle that every team needs and considering he spent a little over two seasons in Philadelphia, he knows the system and has experience with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, and the big fella even expressed that he misses Saric. He would be a nice addition to the team’s bench.
