Is this era of Phoenix Suns basketball reaching its final days?

As the end of the NBA regular season approaches, Wolf & Luke wonder if this era of Suns basketball is reaching its end as Phoenix’s play-in chances dwindle.

What could a potential Bradley Beal departure from Suns look like?: https://arizonasports.com/nba/phoenix-suns/bradley-beal-3/3579882/

  1. Keep KD and Book and get a bunch of Athletic Defensive minded players and upgrade the center posistion, Book and KD are Two of the Top 15 players in the league.👏🏀🙏

  2. If they can find some way to move Bradley Beal…….
    And I love Bradley Beal, I just can't deny that it doesn't work.
    My concerns with KD has always been availability.
    And I think if you can still get a boatload in return. it would be smart to move him.

  3. Book doesn't want to play with KD.
    KD makes Booker worse, why would Booker want to continue to work with KD since he's making Book worse 😅😅😅
    FREEKD!

  4. With that No-Trade Clause, designate Bradley Beal as the interim franchise player. Beal ain't going anywhere next season.

    This summer, trade both KD and Book asap for maximum assets before it is too late.

  5. Who can play defense and who struggles on D?

    They can’t get out in transition without defense

    They need easier shots and they get that with defense and speed, high energy, and a point guard

    KD doesn’t help them get out in transition, I’m still suspect on his defense, and they still don’t have a point guard

  6. This team is a** bundles. I'm done with this era. There's atequote supporting cast around KD and Book. Bradley Beal has been a no show .more than half the season. It's literally over.

  7. I still think the Suns need to trade both KD and Booker. No, I do not want to see Booker get traded, but why keep putting Booker’s loyalty to the test… As soon as Booker says he wants out (which could be this summer or next summer if this doesn’t get turned around), the Suns will not get top value of what Booker is worth. Soon as Booker says it wants out, the Suns lose leverage they will get pennies on the dollar.

    My question is if the Suns do not trade KD or Booker this summer, is there any chance they bring in CP3 for the same one year deal he signed with the Spurs this past offseason? The Spurs now have Fox, so IMO, they probably will not resign him.

  8. So we need a starting center, two or three two way wings, and maybe a guard or two. We need youth, length, strength, athleticism, and tenacity around Booker and KD. So how do you get it?

    We don't have the draft assets to trade for them. We don't have the draft assets, or time, to draft them. We don't have enough young players to develop them. We don't have the cap space to sign them. And we don't have the trade pieces to acquire them, if KD and Booker are off the table.

    Beal's money will be off the books in two years, will KD still be elite at 39-40? So unless there is a time machine, there is no way we can get better in what is left of this window. Blow it up. Trade KD. Trade Booker. Start from scratch or else enjoy 6 more years of this team.

  9. The joy left this team with KDs arrival. Seems like everyone always has to walk on eggshells around him so he dont get in his feelings. Thats all good when you are contending, but walking on eggshells gets old when you are not winning.

  10. Budenholzer on Dunn and Oso, They has been great for us??? Is Budenholzer doing drugs? You said Bol Bol had his opportunities but he could be better and neither Dunn, Oso or Martin have the talent Bol have. Dunn and Oso had 10 points between them last night and Bol when given the ball gets 10 points in the first quarter. Budenholzer benched Bol nearly every 4th quarter because someone directed him to take such measures so Bol do not get paid. Oso has no perimeter shooting, Dunn is a terrible shooter and Cody is trash! The Suns need to fire Budenholzer and GM James Jones. The Suns current starting line up is straight trash and even with Durant in they cannot beat a contending team. Look at the stats when Bol started. they never was blown out like this new starting five.
