The Phoenix Suns are a winning team, my friends, despite having spent almost no time this season as a healthy complete unit. That’s a great sign, even if it is very frustrating that the trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal haven’t had the opportunity to really showcase what they’re capable of together.
But arguably what really matters isn’t how good the Suns are in a vacuum, it’s how well they stack up against the other teams standing in their ways of the NBA Finals, the winning of which is squarely the goal for this franchise after a well-chronicled series of trades designed to maximize the Suns’ win-now chances.
