With Devin Booker still in the valley, Phoenix is trying to figure out a new identity. Can this retooled Suns squad compete in the loaded Western Conference?

Loss to Rockets due to Durant 3 point game winner
Loss to Lakers due to bogus end of game calls to favor LeBron
Note the suns second/third best player has only played one game with them so they could potentially get a little better plus their best 3 point shooter G Allen has missed several games as well.
The problem the Suns will have is that this collection of guys is the best they can do. They can't do anything outside of this collection. They have no cap space. They have no draft picks for like 6 years. They are paying Beal $20 mill a year for the next 5 years. They made all the right moves. Except for one. They took Maluach over Derik Queen. We could have our PF and instead we have a project center that will never be better than Mark Williams. We were that close to becoming legit contenders.
The Suns haven’t just been the biggest surprise, they’ve legitimately been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the NBA this year. There is something so refreshing about a team that just busts their ass on the floor. Devin Booker is proving he didn’t need to be led by CP3 or Kevin Durant to be a winner, Dillon Brooks is earning a home on the Phoenix Suns for the long term, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin are both securing good contracts (HOPEFULLY WITH PHOENIX), Mark Williams is doing incredibly well in Phoenix, Oso and Dunn are both showing improvement in their sophomore seasons and have cemented themselves as consistent players and show high upside, Royce and Grayson are two of the best role players in the NBA, their rookies look incredibly strong in the G league when they play (Fleming belongs in the rotation), Nick Richards is easily the best 3rd string guy in the NBA, Jamaree Bouyea has been an incredibly fun surprise of strong shooting and underrated athleticism while playing, and we haven’t even seen Jalen Green much yet.
This team is easily the funnest story in the NBA this year
Defense is what has changed
Remember that Suns in 4 guy during the playoffs a few years ago, that became a meme?
Yeah, he just brought his whole family. 🏀🔥
I LOVE our Suns team this season. It's good to see a team who trusts each other and works together. It is also good to see Book have some help in the game.
Definitely I give you hype points on ur video 📹
Happy for Collin
Malone always underused our Nuggets bench.
Collin has found a proper home to chase a second ring. Even if he doesn't become champ again, he is proving a lot of people not just wrong, but stupid!
Suns GM, please dont make any trades. PLEASE. This current team deserves to grow and be trusted. The chemistry is at an all-time high, you can see they love playing for each other. You can't get that kind of chemistry easily
As a suns fan I appreciate this video.
Dark Horse. Hoping for a deep run for them
I swear KD is just a bad culture fit wherever he goes. A virus to every team he’s on
I actually went to the game last night. 😊
Can Phoenix maintain a top 6 seed in the West?

Thank You Book.
You have been so loyal.
Great player.
Our sunshine.
its simple… book needs to be the number one scoring option and we need a team around book. all we need is a facilitator at this point and we're solid. Booker has no business playing point, youre taking away from his potential by doing so.
Beat SA by holding Wemby to single digits until the 4th. Got him a fourth foul right as the second half started getting him into foul trouble early. Their second halfs right out of half time can break teams quickly
As a Suns fan, when the KD trade happened, I was more excited for Brooks than I was for Green because we needed an energy booster, and Brooks was exactly that. I thouhgt they would be better than last year but I did not think they would 3 games away from the 3 seed.
Suns are playing basketball I want to watch! Not the most talented guys, but the most grittiest. Tired of watching billionaires go half throttle, load managing, often mysteriously injured. This is 90's style iron man basketball.
Great video, thank you.
I’ve been a Suns fan all my life I was born here in 1969, their first year.
As a Phoenix native being a fan of our teams isn’t always easy. But teams like this along with the ‘23 Dbacks make it nice som times.
