The Deserved Downfall of The Phoenix Suns
Some downfalls are sad to see and others are satisfying and I think if you ask most people they'd say it's great to see. Everyone hates this team and likes seeing this happen. Now with Phoenix coming back with the same core maybe this will be the year.

    it didn’t take a genius to see this coming after the KD trade. lost so much youth, depth, draft picks and he’s mid 30s aged player near the end of his prime. The Beal trade and contract was the final nail in the coffin.

    Excuse me? Everyone in the starting of playoffs were picking them to advance, if not deep playoff run. They finished to season on a streak and avoided play-in. They collapse. Thats what happened. Thats what you get if you trust a guy like Booker and KD.

The problem is once the talent level evens out and adjustments need to be made, that's where the great coaches often separate themselves and Monty always fell short. He can raise a floor but you also have a limited ceiling with Monty.

Rather than a small change here or there they made wholesale changes to a winning formula, now have to completely rebuild.

    Never felt that team that lost to Dallas was good enough to win a title. They had finishers but not guys that can get their own buckets or be playmakers, which you need in the playoffs. They were entirely reliant on a past his prime, 36/37 year old Chris Paul, who had to do too much. They had a tough time just getting by New Orleans. Their bench was weak, when Bismack Biyombo is playing playoff minutes thats a major red flag. Great regular season team not built for the playoffs.

Remember we had Dwight as a starter which is embarrassing, Dorian who is a okay defender but we had Reggie who was complete garbage just look at his stats now, Jalen Brunson wasn't near his current state now and we had Spencer Dinwiddie who was solid but regardless we just had a trash team.

Yeah he got the “Be legendary” tat but that’s cuz Kobe was one of his heroes and that one thing Kobe said to him inspired him to be the best version of HIMSELF! It was the media that ran away with that narrative. And if I’m not mistaken I think after a while Book was trying to distance himself from it. Again not a Book fan but just trying to be fair here.

    The whole 2021 season and playoffs was something that didn't serve anyone for anything. Maybe the Bucks surviving for it, but everyone else just got beaten down and injured. Short off season, condensed schedule was a recipe for disaster. And Phoenix acted like they won something when they didn't win squat. Even the playoff wins were against depleted teams. It gave them a big head and haven't recovered from that since. No sense of humility and hunger anywhere to be seen... And until they eat a big piece of humble pie, they won't get anywhere...

    The issue is certain players play better together such is team chemistry. They blew up the chemistry and lost their leader in paul. Booker is a good player but he wasn't ready to lead the team. KD is a great player but he's not a great leader. Some people aren't great leaders and that's fine. You give away your whole depth for KD and expect 3 people who can't lead to bring the team further than one that had a proven chemistry

    If Ishbia was smart, he would have asked the public via poll or have one of his people do it whether they prefer to keep Bridges and Johnson vs bring KD in for those guys. I am sure Bridges and Johnson would have won. He could have just traded Cp3 and Ayton to improvise the team.

    Excellent video. It's crazy to see their defense and ball movement gone once Mikael and CP3 left the team. On the next video, can you do the Undeserved Downfall of the Knicks. The organization was slowly building a legit team with different underrated moves on and off season for the past few years and then during this year's playoffs with Julius Randle already gone, the Knicks players started dropping one by one due to random injuries beginning with Embiid pulling Mitch Robinson's leg during the series with the Sixers and ending in a Game 7 against the Pacers with Jalen Brunson's fractured hand. If the Knicks would have made it to the ECF or possibly the Finals, they would have been doing it with a really depleted roster. The injuries turned them from contenders to underdogs.

    I understood the trade for Durant as that team was never going to win a title. I didn't think the trade for Durant would turn the Suns into championship team but I thought it was worth taking a shot. Then the Beal trade and it just didn't make any sense, the team right away didn't look like it would fit and we saw it didn't fit. I'm just always amazed how basketball guys like James Jones and Isbia still couldn't see this was a bad fit. I thought at best, at best, this team might make a conference finals but that was best case scenario in my mind and I didn't even think they would make it that far and I'm not some great basketball mind. I think most if not all of us could see all of the problems trading for Beal would create for the team's depth and structure but for whatever reason Jones and Isbia went stupid.

    Trading for KD was a mistake. They were right to move on from Ayton, and Paul needed a replacement cause he was getting up there in age, but aside from that, their lineup was still great. All they lacked was true grit, a win at all costs mentality that demanded greatness no matter how ugly or how many promises they'd break in doing so. That unapologetic get the job done mindset was what got them knocked out by the Mavs in 2022. It could be taught, but it was up to them to absorb it. Instead, they split that core up and here we are.

    This conveniently leaves out that Chris Paul was obviously no longer Chris Paul and Phoenix needed to flip his albatross of a contract for something. Where the Suns made their mistake, aside from passing on Luka Doncic and drafting the hometown kid who was bad on defense and had his effort questioned by a litany of people, was trading for Bradley Beal. They traded their declining injury prone superstar for…a declining injury prone ball dominant guard who couldn’t even really replace Chris Paul’s playmaking.

    The suns fall came trading for KD and Beal two players over the age of 30 and showed signs of slowing down as far as production, KD production started to slow itself while he played in BK and Beal battle injury in Washington. I feel suns issues prior to these trades should have led to them trading away Ayton who didn't get along with his coaches or players, second upgrade their PG position from CP3 they had a good bench with Bridge's and company they could have added better depth and upgrade their PG position none of us would have these opinions about the fall of the suns

    I agree. I always find it astounding how many people will often excuse ownership when wondering why a team is bad. Things always start at the top, always. Outside of crazy fluke runs, there isn't a consistently good franchise in any sport that constantly wins without good ownership. Sometimes good ownership is being hands-on, other time it's being hands-off. Knowing when to do one or the other is important.

    As a Suns fan, we can’t put all of the blame on Ishbia. There is a track record of making poor draft choices, with them passing on Doncic being the biggest this century so far. If you genuinely want to create a winning culture, you need to genuinely care about accountability and just win at all cost. CP3 as skilled as he is, maybe he got his karma as he has a lot of skeletons in his closet that will eventually come out (a former ref calling him the biggest @$$hole he ever encountered, and that’s saying something). This team would have actually won as well if they had landed Ricky Rubio sooner. Poor front office, poor team building, poor mentality.

    I feel like instant gratification superteams don't work anymore, whether by injury (KD/Kyrie Nets) or a lack of depth (current Suns & Clippers, etc.). I don't count the Warriors as one since most of their team was built despite adding and subtracting KD, nor am I counting the 2020 Lakers since that team had veteran/defensive depth. Look at the teams that are in the Conference Finals right now and tell me those teams aren't mostly built off of 1-2 stars.
