The Phoenix Suns are down, and they aren’t that close to coming back to true contention.
I like to believe in the best possible outcome when it comes to the Suns. I really do. I supported the Kevin Durant deal. Durant still had a lot left in the tank, it seemed, and I liked that the Suns’ new ownership was willing to take bold action to bring in all-time talent to complement Devin Booker and try to get over the top and win the championship.
I wasn’t as keen on the Bradley Beal deal, but I talked myself into supporting it eventually because it was done and I really wanted to believe that things would gel and this “superteam” would be an elite offense no NBA defense could contend with.
