As a Suns fan, the last four games were tough to watch. I didn't have the courage to write until now as the 12 hours following Game 6 were hard. I didn't sleep much two nights ago.
Instantly after the game I was wanting to trade Booker for the #1 overall pick next week. Emotions were flying high. As of now I have calmed down have realized that 28 other teams would have loved to have the season we just had.
The pain comes from not knowing what the NBA will look like next year. Klay Thompson will likely be back for Golden State and if the Lakers add a star to their lineup than things could get scary. We need a plan at Point Guard if Chris Paul leaves. Even if he stays, we need a plan for who will replace him when the time comes.
Booker might be here for awhile but which is tremendous but we need to replenish the talent as best as we can as soon as it leaves.
For me, I'm curious how long Curry and Durant can be the face of the NBA and will they pass the touch to Booker or will Trae Young and Ja Morant surpass Booker and make it even harder for the Suns to get back to this level.
If anything, with the Milwaukee Bucks winning, this might slow down these super teams from forming in Brooklyn. This might make the NBA easier to win it all for teams like Phoenix.
From 1989 to 2010, the Suns had one of the best 21 year stretches for a sports franchise that had never won a NBA Title. Lets hope that this is the start of another 21 year run.
As for the draft, I would love for us to grab Tre Mann, Jared Butler, Joel Ayayi, Ayo Dosunmu or Herbert Jones. These players should be on the board when the Suns draft 29th. We have Jalen Smith from last year where I hope he can make strides and I would rather get size and toughness that can make a difference next year in free agency. We need guard depth in case Payne wants too much money next year.
| I'm proud of this team and I hope we can finish this off in the next couple of years. |
