They have very good core players in Gilbert Arenas, Antoine Jamison and Caron Butler, and Antonio Daniels and Michael Ruffin provide decent depth. They also have Andray Blatche and Peter John Ramos in the developmental pipeline. But that's the end of the good news.
Brendan Haywood is frustrating because he keeps showing just enough promise to stick around. Same thing with Etan Thomas. And Jarvis Hayes and Jared Jeffries are promising but too often injured (perhaps they could be trade bait?)
They need a versatile guard who could give Arenas some flexibility (or even a rest now and then) and probably more than one PF/C rebound specialist. They may get deeper in this upcoming draft, but IMHO, it won't be enough to get them past the 2nd round of the playoffs. IMHO, they really need to snag a big-sized free agent this offseason like C Lorenzen Wright (Memphis), PF Vladimir Radmanovic (LA Clipplers), F Tim Thomas (Phoenix), PF Reggie Evans (Denver) or C Kelvin Cato (Detroit). I don't know how realistic any of those options are, but they HAVE to do something to improve their defense and rebounding.

They have good players, they just need more bench points. That's how they will become a better team. Oh yeah, the guy who said Tim Thomas is a free agent, WELL HE IS NOT GOING TO BE. THE SUNS WILL FIND A WAY TO KEEP HIM.

1. a true point guard to allow Arenas to be primarily a shooting guard with Daniels subbing in for defensive matchups and a break.
2. get Heywood to play with intensity all the time or else cut him loose and get someone else. With Jamison at PF and Butler at SF there is enough scoring punch on the front line.
3. bench upgrade

I would have to say a deeper bench, they obviously have 3 stars in Jamison, Arenas and Butler, but beyond that they're a little shallow. They need a better big man to help in the post.

they need to play real defense instead of trying to get steals all the time
