What a Miles Bridges extension could look like for the Suns
When the Phoenix Suns acquired Miles Bridges, a plethora of questions entered my mind. And one of the first was whether or not they would extend him. He is entering the final year of his contract at $22.8 million, so the possibility existed that Phoenix moved off the $29 million owed to Grayson Allen and […]
The Miles Bridges trade asks more of Suns fans than basketball
It has been one week since the Phoenix Suns acquired Miles Bridges. Ironically, it happened while I was trying to focus on anything other than basketball.

SBN Reacts: The Suns found their power forward but lost something else
As we sat here a little more than a year ago, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal were still on the roster, but the Suns had just finished 11th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs entirely.

We are one week away from Summer League tipping off in Las Vegas, and with it comes our first look at Suns basketball since late April, when the team’s season ended with a first-round sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The NBA Cup is back, and I’m trying to meet it halfway
It’s July now, which means we’re officially in a new NBA year. The 2026-27 season is on the horizon, and maybe this is the year I make some basketball resolutions. Think New Year’s resolutions, except they’re about being a better fan, a better writer, and somebody who absorbs the sport a little differently. I’ll do […]
Black Hole Suns, this trade was dumb, we won’t win 50 games
Sunday, June 28th The aftermath of the Miles Bridges trade has found me languishing in front of my computer, fully immersed in a funnel cloud of emotions.

Grading the Suns’ signing of Luke Kennard
With the acquisition of Miles Bridges, the Phoenix Suns opened one roster spot.
