- Josh Childress: Acquired in a sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta, Childress was expected to add valuable depth on the wing with a hint of upside. The Hawks received the Suns’ 2012 second-round draft pick. Childress signed a five-year contract, returning from overseas where he played with Greek club Olympiacos. That experiment went south real quick. He was amnestied by the Suns just two years later. 0-for-2.
- Hedo Turkoglu: Acquired from Toronto, Hedo was poised to bring experience and playmaking to replace what they lost that summer. He was not a good fit and quickly dealt to Orlando for Marcin Gortat, Vince Carter, and Mickael Pietrus that winter: another swing and a miss.
- Channing Frye: The Arizona native inked a five-year contract extension with the Suns after a strong season as a combo stretch big. This was one of the lone bright spots to a disaster of an offseason.

- Amar’e Stoudemire: The biggest loss of the offseason signed with the New York Knicks. His departure left a significant void in the Suns’ frontcourt and a sour taste in Suns fans' mouths. At the time the injury concerns (incentives in the contract) ultimately made the difference for Stoudemire. He took the deal with more guaranteed money and bolted to the Big Apple.

- Leandro Barbosa: The Suns lost yet another fan favorite off the bench in 2007 Sixth Man of the Year winner, Leandro Barbosa. The Brazilian Blur was dealt for Hedo, who we talked about above.

- Dwayne Collins: Selected in the second round (60th overall). He did not appear in any NBA games.
