For the first time in what feels like many decades, Phoenix Suns fans can look to the offseason with a strong sense of optimism.
The 2019-2020 season has been a very tumultuous one for the Phoenix Suns. It started with an offseason of activity through trades, free-agent signings, and of course the draft. There was a strong opening night win, followed by the loss of Deandre Ayton to a lengthy suspension.
Shortly after that setback, the Suns compiled assertive wins over championship contenders in both the Clippers and the 76ers; wins that would have been hard to come by the previous season.
