One NBA executive joked about Suns owner Mat Ishbia having a new rule made for him with the Kevin Durant trade possibly backfiring.

Book has had everything handed to him since James Jones arrived. Promising new rookies. (Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson). All-time great veterans (Chris Paul, Durant and Beal). New coaches (Monty Williams, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer). The franchise has even upgraded the locker room and practice facility.

The Phoenix Suns have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA led by Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. However, the team is just 19-20 in their first 39 games

If the Phoenix Suns fail to make significant progress, they'll continue to be involved in trade rumors. With the franchise playing mediocre basketball, a 6-foot-11 superstar forward may get shipped to the Oklahoma City Thunder to help accelerate the Suns' rebuild.
