The Phoenix Suns<\/a> surpassed expectations last season by going 45-37, finishing seventh in the Western Conference and reaching the NBA playoffs. They did so with a scrappy roster that featured All-Star Devin Booker, guards Devin Green, Grayson Allen and Collin Gillespie and, of course, the irritating forward named Dillon Brooks.<\/p>\n

This offseason, they have strengthened their roster by trading for forward Miles Bridges, signing sharpshooter Luke Kennard away from the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> and drafting promising University of Arizona forward Koa Peat.<\/p>\n

The NBA’s full schedule for the upcoming season will be fully released on Thursday, but on Tuesday, a few key matchups were leaked. The Lakers will face<\/a> the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 21 and LeBron James’ Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> on Christmas Day, and per Duane Rankin, they will host the Suns on Nov. 15.<\/p>\n

James won’t be around anymore for Brooks to get under the skin of, but he still seems to consider the Lakers something of an enemy. He recently implied in a video<\/a> with Bleacher Report that they will be in trouble if Luka Doncic doesn’t average a ginormous amount of points.<\/p>\n

“Lakers are sweet,” Brooks said when asked if the team got better or worse after James left. “They’re so sweet.<\/p>\n

“… If Luka don’t average 40 (laughs).”<\/p>\n

Brooks just agreed to a three-year extension with Phoenix after averaging a career-high 20.2 points a game last season.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles, of course, gave Austin Reaves a four-year, $185 million contract this summer. It has brought in Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes, Collin Sexton and Sandro Mamukelashvili, among others, this offseason and will have a radically different complexion this coming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug. 11, 2026, 7:05 p.m. PT The Phoenix Suns surpassed expectations last season by going 45-37, finishing seventh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":809642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3791],"tags":[72400,7,6,2065,472,4045,90545,53093,72522,604,72758,72404,72934,73765,73042,72846,74595,72610,72551,73043,72546,72689,74191,72444,72422,72445,72475,72553,72478,73423,72406,72600,72403],"class_list":["post-809641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-phoenix-suns","tag-accessfree","tag-basketball","tag-nba","tag-phoenix","tag-phoenix-suns","tag-phoenixsuns","tag-sourcelebron-wire","tag-sstssportsnba","tag-sstsnnba","tag-suns","tag-tagaustin-reaves","tag-tagbasketball","tag-tagcalifornia-gold-rush","tag-tagcgr-sports","tag-tagchristmas","tag-tagcollin-gillespie","tag-tagcollin-sexton","tag-tagdevin-booker","tag-tagdillon-brooks","tag-tagholiday-marketplace-hub","tag-taglebron-james","tag-taglos-angeles-lakers","tag-tagluke-kennard","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnba","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagphiladelphia-76ers","tag-tagphoenix-suns","tag-tagquentin-grimes","tag-tagsandro-mamukelashvili","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagwalker-kessler","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/809642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
