Projected starting Line-up: PG: Beal SG: Booker SF: Okogie PF: Durant C: Nurkic Is this finally the year they break through and win it all? Can KD stay healthy when it matters most? Will the lack of a true PG hurt this squad? It'll be a fun and interesting year, in the least. LFG!

Beal since coming back from injury has been pure trash. Team needs to sit him the last 2 games before he hurts his trade value more. Not that it matters with that no trade clause. Worst contract in the NBA, bar none.

Soon our coaching payroll will be higher than our player payroll, which was the highest in league history. Ishbia is paying a hell of a lot to win, but is only creating volatility.

Exactly....hes making moves but they all turn out to be flat out wrong and costly. Hes trying to run a franchise like a teenager playing a video game.

The Suns owe Mike Budenholzer $10M per year for the next 4 years, even after firing him…

Bud did a really s**t job coaching, Beal is always hurt, Durant played well but also missed time and Booker was just all over the place. They really ought to blow it up and start from scratch at this point but I'm worried that Ishbia won't be able to let go of his need to micromanage everything.

Beal missed 29 games, KD 20. Inconsistent rotations. Piss poor defense, especially on the interior. This team needs to move KD and get as much in return as possible, cuz if they can move Beal, I doubt they get much back in return.

They will probably get a draft pick, maybe two, in whatever deal they get for KD and/or Beal.
