Before the halfway mark of the season, the Suns sent starting
By trading Marbury, the Suns were without a point guard to lead an improving young core of Stoudemire, Marion, Johnson and Barbosa, all 25 years of age or younger. By shedding the injury-riddled Hardaway and Gugliotta, as well as Marbury, the Suns ended the season with a need for a club leader and money at their disposal. Following the season, McDyess signed as a free agent with the Detroit Pistons.
For the season, they added new orange alternate road uniforms with grey side panels to their jerseys and shorts they remained in used until 2013.
