I confess that I might have gone too far in wanting Jimmy Butler over Kevin Durant at the trade deadline. But what else were the Phoenix Suns supposed to do? They were playing like absolute garbage.

Now, they’re on fire. Led by Kevin Durant, who is averaging 40 points in the last two games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Milwaukee Bucks. There’s something brewing in Phoenix, and it isn’t just the 90° weather heating up my old Sonic drinks in the cupholders of my car. This Suns team is legit.

I am worried, though.…
