The Phoenix Suns still have two open roster spots. And until they’re filled, we’ll keep doing what we always do this time of year. Speculating, projecting, hoping. Maybe you’re in the Kuminga camp. Maybe you’ve pitched a tent on Giddey Island. Maybe it’s Ben Simmons who catches your curiosity, or perhaps you’re yearning for a reunion with a familiar face like Jevon Carter or Josh Okogie, players whose grit once gave this team its edge.
This is the cycle of every offseason. When gaps exist, we naturally begin sorting ourselves into camps, staking out our preferred visions of what this team should be, like a basketball version of Lord of the Flies.
