The Phoenix Suns proved both at their media day recently and subsequent training camp ahead of the regular season that they have definitely turned the page on the Kevin Durant era. He was shown the respect he deserves by Devin Booker when he addressed the media for the first time, while Khaman Maluach mentioned KDs are among his favorite sneakers ever.
But this is a team that is moving forward with Dillon Brooks setting the tone defensively, and with 11 new players to try and fit together. Durant's start to life with the Houston Rockets hasn't gone brilliantly either, with point guard Fred VanVleet done for the season with a torn ACL.
