Team Note: The Suns Big Three Plans That Year Failed to Meet Expectations and may be able to compete for a playoff spot in 2 years
Today's Suns Duane Rankin posted a video on social media about Bill, and the following is all the content.
Obviously, Bill's incident shows that the team did not follow the plan of that year. In June 2023, I saw the Suns form a squad with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant at a press conference. Two years later? You know what's going on. Devin Booker said at the time that he didn't know how other teams could defend them. However, two years later, Kevin Durant moved to the Houston Rockets, and Bill was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Suns bought out Bill, who then signed with the Clippers. The Suns will actually pay Bill a $97 million salary in five years. The Suns received no return on assets in the Bills trade, neither players nor draft picks. But they gain more roster flexibility and can do more because the current roster does need to be adjusted.
Devin Booker is surrounded by young players in the first and second years. Jaylen Green is talented, but it still takes time to adapt to his collaboration with Booker. What they need is better physical confrontation and a stronger mindset. This team lacks a lot, which is why you can't hear people talking about their championship. Instead, what you hear is that they are rebuilding and recovering from the past with a maximum salary of $400 million.
Two years ago, other than the Suns preparing to trade Chris Paul, there was something else that happened, Paul ended up going to the Warriors and the Thunder became a championship team. The Minnesota Timberwolves have also struggled over the past two years, but something crazy could happen next season. For some Western Conference teams, things can get really bad. After this year, when the Suns can really adjust the roster and build the team they want, you'll find that the team has more roster flexibility, and in two years you might talk about the Phoenix Suns' battle for a playoff spot.
