The Phoenix Suns may have made many roster changes this offseason - with the departures of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal by far the biggest - but despite all the new faces, they were still missing a point guard. They missed out on Chris Paul and whiffed on Marcus Smart - which looked like a particularly bad miss - to put them in a tough spot.
We know owner Mat Ishbia likes a known commodity - and with the likes of Russell Westbrook still available - the worry was that he would show he hadn't learnt from past mistakes and go after a faded star who doesn't fit with Devin Booker.
