Phoenix Suns

Holy crap, the Warriors are good. I could stop there, because that’s all you need to know. They’re taking over the NBA one game at a time, and assuming health, won’t be stopping anytime soon. Nor will I, because you deserve more than some pre-rankings Warriors-loving. So with that in mind, here’s a choppy portrait [...]

Ah, what could have been. Isaiah Thomas was apparently a wanted man during the 2014 NBA free-agency period. Well, not by the Kings. But the Lakers and (obviously) the Suns were both interested. And so, too, were the Celtics. Here’s Green Street’s Ben Rohrbach with more: Other than the late addition of Evan Turner at [...]

Allow me to tell you a secret. Injuries suck. The NBA has been a hotbed for injuries and sad storylines early on, and it sucks and blows simultaneously. So, too, does the whole early-season confusion. There is so much inconsistency around the Association this time of year. Good teams aren’t good, bad teams aren’t bad, [...]

Playing for the Phoenix Suns must be nice. No, not because most of the players are making bank. Or because head coach Jeff Hornacek will babysit for free. Or because the arid climate compels you to go commando. Or because Goran and Zoran Dragic (probably) argue and celebrate and curse in Slovenian. The Suns just [...]

You guys. It wasn’t a dream. The NBA is still back. Shhh. Stop fist-pumping and -bumping and -twerking so loudly. You might scare the regular season away. There. That’s better. The first week of the 2014-15 season was crazy. There were plenty of exciting games, and even more devastating injuries.  There were surprise wins, and [...]

Isaiah Thomas loves playing for the Phoenix Suns. But he would have loved playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, too. During a wide-ranging interview with Grantland’s Zach Lowe, Thomas touched upon his free-agent exploits from this past summer. When asked about the Lakers’ interest, he was candid and insightful, and said just enough to make [...]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. The NBA is back. Like, really back. Not summer-league back. Not FIBA World Cup back. Not training camp back. Not preseason back. Regular-season back. The Hoop Doctors’ totally awesome, not-at-all restrained power rankings back. That’s right. After a months-long hiatus—during which time yours [...]

Sacramento’s loss is Phoenix’s gain. Instead of re-signing the diminutive 5’9″ Isaiah Thomas over the offseason, the Kings signed and traded him to the Suns, electing to roll with free agents Darren Collison and Ramon Sessions. This surprised some. Many, even. Just not Thomas himself. Said the point guard while speaking with Basketball Insiders’ Alex [...]

Way to steal Michael Beasley’s thunder, Eric Bledsoe. After months of waiting and stalemating and—more disturbingly—no negotiations, Bledsoe finally reached an agreement with the Phoenix Suns that will pay him $70 million over the next five years, according to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/514893545384460289] Wait, there’s more: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/514893892614098944] So much for the Suns [...]

Michael Beasley and the San Antonio Spurs? Yes, Please. According to Yahoo Sports’ all-powerfull and almighty Adrian Wojnarowski, the Spurs intend to work out Beasley, who still hasn’t found a new home this summer: Free-agent forward Michael Beasley is working out for the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs at the franchise’s practice facility this [...]
