When trying to think of one word to describe Phoenix Suns' owner Mat Ishbia's time at the helm of the franchise, eventful would be capturing it well while also putting it lightly. Ishbia has done so much since buying the organization - yet rather than move closer to their goal of winning an NBA Championship - they waved a massive white flag this offseason and went back to basics.
They did sign Devin Booker to a two-year, $145 million extension, although even that felt like a potentially damaging decision to make. One the Suns surely had to do, but what kind of message does it send when you reward your best player so handsomely - and with a player option for that second season - after being part of a 36 win season and not even being named an All-Star?
