I remember that two years ago, the boss of the Suns changed and became the rich Matt Ishbia!
The new official took office three times, and he threatened to bring the first championship in team history to the Suns.
After all, he knows that the Suns have just reached the Finals, and although they lost to the Bucks, the team is competitive for the championship.
But he did not make targeted reinforcements, but chose an aggressive strategy, and completed the "team demolition" in less than 4 months!
First, at the trade deadline last season, he made a big deal to get Durant and T.J. Warren from the Suns.
But at a costly one, sending away most of the team's core players and future first-round draft assets, as follows:
Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Crowder, '23 & '25 '27 '29 unprotected first-rounders, and '28 first-round swaps.
After the Suns' loss in the Western Conference semifinals last season, the Suns owner made another big trade in the offseason.
Got Beal from the Wizards, sent Chris Paul, Landry Shamet and at least four second-round picks and multiple draft pick swaps.
The mighty triumvirate has been formed, and the Suns' record has regressed year by year!
Before Durant arrived, the Suns made it to the Finals.
After Durant arrived, the Suns stopped in the Western Conference semifinals.
After Beal joined, the Suns are likely to stop in the first round of the playoffs.
The operation is as fierce as a tiger, take a closer look and push back!
What's more interesting is that before the start of the playoffs, the Suns hastily completed a 4-year 70 million early contract extension with Grayson Allen?
As a result, Grayson Allen handed over a dismal report card, G1, 0 of 3, scored 5 points, G2, played 7 minutes, and retired from the game due to injury, scoring 3 points.
If nothing else, Allen will miss this series, which means that the Suns have spent money on loneliness.
The Suns' Big Three, losing to the Timberwolves by a large score in two consecutive games, had no power to parry at all, which made the Suns boss off the court look like ashes.
If the Suns are out of the first round, the team may not be able to tear up the Big Three this summer, after all, Beal has run out of value and has no trade-able chips on hand.
The owner of the Suns is estimated to be depressed, spending money but ruining the team, and the favorite to win the championship 2 years ago was simply dismantled into a playoff fringe team by himself......
