Suns season comes to a close at the hands of a sweep by the defending champion Thunder - as expected. Phoenix took a big step this year to return to credibility but will need to do a lot more to be a contender / simply put they need better players! I’ve covered this team for 30 years and last years team was my least favorite- that team was unlikable and unwatchable. Fans hated that team. This year was so much different - the Suns were enjoyable to watch, played hard and made the playoffs when most thought they’d be a bottom 3 team in the league. Worth a moment amongst the disappointment of being swept to appreciate the ride they gave us. This offseason will be important to reshape the roster and some tough decisions will need to be made if they want to improve on the successes of this year.

That story they just told on ABC on the 2018 NBA draft about SGA and Mikal was wrong. The Suns never had a chance to draft SGA. Phoenix attempted to trade up to get SGA with Charlotte but Mitch Kupchak then the Hornets GM made a deal with the Clippers instead. It wasn’t until after the draft was over that Phoenix officially made the trade with Philly to get Mikal Bridges. Philly drafted Mikal at 10 with plans to keep him but Phoenix made an offer after the pick that they accepted so the Suns drafted Zhaire Smith for them. They said Phoenix passed on SGA at 10 to take Mikal and that is so not true.
