Constructing a Kevin Durant trade with the Nets
Photo by Elsa/ As you know by now, Kevin Durant dropped the bomb on New York by demanding a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets, and his list of preferred destinations is extremely short. Like, one team: The Phoenix Suns. I know word around the media is that his list is at least two-deep, including the Miami Heat, but our buddy Flex from Jersey who’s gotten ALL this right, says Durant’s list only includes Phoenix. The Nets, themselves, are saying Durant’s possible destinations include 29 teams because he’s already under contract and gosh darn it they aren’t...

Suns sign Damion Lee as Phoenix makes first free agency move
Photo by Christian Petersen/ Two days in, we have movement! Outside of seeing former members of the team sign with different franchises, the Phoenix Suns have been relatively quiet through the first two days of free agency. JaVale McGee? In Dallas. Aaron Holiday? ATL. That silence has been broken. Phoenix has officially made their first move in free agency 2022. While the team is at the center of discussions relative to landing spots for Kevin Durant, James Jones still has one glaring need for this team: fill out the bench, add depth, and improve a roster that played...

Day Two Suns Blog: Barkley comp, Ayton complications as the Suns embark on free agency
Photo by Ron Jenkins/ The time for speculation is over. The time for execution is now. Here we are. On the precipice of the biggest acquisition for the Phoenix Suns franchise since Charles Barkley. Indeed, not since Barkley was acquired by the Suns in 1992 and went on to win the league MVP that year while leading the Suns to the NBA Finals, the Suns have not acquired a player quite like Barkley until right now, assuming the Kevin Durant trade from the Brooklyn Nets comes through. All due respect to Steve Nash in 2004, who went on to become Two-Time MVP winner in 2005...
