And you look at all the teams that finished ahead of them in one through six in the Western Conference, and they're all clearly better, which is why Phoenix was stuck in seven for four straight months.

And then they played a playoff team and they ran out of the gym.

And they don't have a draft pick.

They don't have a draft pick.

They have a draft pick next year.

They get the least favorable draft pick in 2027 of Utah, Cleveland, and Minnesota.

So, I mean, Cleveland and Minnesota should be pretty good in 26-27.

You're looking at a pick in the 20s.

And they've traded all their first-round picks, 26-27, 28-29, 30-31.

They're going to be paying Devin Booker a ridiculous amount of money for a guy that's not going to make an All-NBA team.

So this was a better season for the Suns, but I think they're looking at a lot more seasons like this.

He's the fourth highest paid player this year, Bradley Beal.

So maybe you trade Devin Booker then while you still could.

Now, he doesn't want to leave.

He doesn't want to leave.

You don't want him to leave, I get, but he'd be the one that would reset everything.

But maybe they're just happy to be back in the conversation of a seventh seed and stuff like that and actually playing competitive basketball.

They did a whole reset, and they had to, and they did it well.

We're being honest.

A lot of people didn't have them winning 30-plus games, and they exceeded that and at least got into the actual postseason.
