Kevin Durant: Will you miss him?

1 day ago | brightsideofthesun.com | Matthew Lissy

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images When Kevin Durant returns to Phoenix wearing a Rockets’ jersey, there’s no doubt the reception will be warm. Phoenix Suns fans are smart. They know greatness when they see it. Durant’s time in Phoenix wasn’t long, but it had moments that will be remembered. So when he walks into the PHX Arena again, expect a standing ovation, some cheers, and a highlight video that captures the highs of his short stay.

Draft Day just became a lot more interesting for the Phoenix Suns

4 days ago | brightsideofthesun.com | Brandon Duenas

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Let’s forget about all of the outside noise for a second. The 2025 NBA Draft just became a lot more interesting to watch if you are a Phoenix Suns fan. Say what you want about their return (I was not a fan overall), but the fact is, they will now enter this draft with the possibility to come out of it with four prospects instead of two. One of those picks will come in the lottery now, with them acquiring their own pick.
Suns JAM Session Podcast: Kevin Durant TRADED

5 days ago | brightsideofthesun.com | John Voita |Matthew Lissy

Kevin Durant is headed to Houston and the Suns just hit the reset button. We break down what Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks bring to the Valley, sift through the pile of draft picks, wonder if Bradley Beal is packing a carry-on or checking bags, and note one thing that’s now undeniable—this is Devin Booker’s team, and the responsibility is all his.

9 “Reclamation Projects” the Phoenix Suns should target

6 days ago | brightsideofthesun.com | Brandon Duenas

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Great teams find and develop talent who have failed in other situations. The Phoenix Suns have their back against the wall this summer as they look to improve their roster in creative ways. The Indiana Pacers are a great example of taking swings that have worked out quite well. Take a look at what they did with T.J. McConnell, Aaron Nesmith, and Obi Toppin, for example. Those guys were all taken for granted at one point of their careers. Now?

Is ESPN’s No. 26 NBA Draft prospect, St. Joe’s F/C Rasheer Fleming, a good fit for Suns?

1 week ago | brightsideofthesun.com | Damon Allred

Photo by Isaiah Vazquez/Getty Images If instilling a scrappy defensive identity is indeed one of Phoenix Suns general manager Brian Gregory’s biggest priorities, picking Rasheer Fleming out of St. Joe’s in the 2025 NBA Draft would be a solid place to start. This is one I’ve been especially looking forward to. He’s a fun one. Fleming is an enormously exciting player to watch given his blend of athleticism, fluidity motor. Want someone to bring the joy back to Suns viewing? He might be your guy.
Could a Trae Young trade be the Suns’ best path forward after Durant?

1 week ago | brightsideofthesun.com | Matthew Lissy

Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Is there a universe where the Phoenix Suns realize that the return for Kevin Durant just isn’t what they want or need? It certainly feels like we’re living in it. Teams like the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat are reportedly interested in acquiring Durant, but they’re also trying to keep their most valuable assets while offering as little as possible in return. So, the question must be asked: Why would the Suns even consider making such a deal?
NBA Mock Draft Tracker: Who do they have the Suns drafting?

1 week ago | brightsideofthesun.com | Brandon Duenas

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images It is crazy to think we are just 11 days away from the 2025 NBA Draft. The Kevin Durant trade is looming and will ultimately determine what the Suns do on draft night. In the meantime, let’s do a temperature check of what the latest mock drafts are saying about what the Suns will do with their 29th pick. For those mocks that do both rounds, I’ll throw in the 52nd pick as well.
