Latest head coach update proves Suns have finally learned from past mistakes

13 hours ago | valleyofthesuns.com | Luke Duffy

Took them long enough. The NBA might be in the midst of an unpredictable postseason and even crazier NBA Draft, but that doesn't mean the Phoenix Suns are sitting idly by while the action unfolds. If anything the fact that Kevin Durant hasn't played in the playoffs may actually have increased his trade value around the league, as countless other stars fail to light it up when it matters most.

Let the bidding war commence. The Phoenix Suns might be by-standers in the NBA Playoffs right now, but that doesn't mean what is happening on the court has no impact on their offseason. In fact by doing nothing at all, the price for Kevin Durant's services has actually increase since the postseason got underway.

This felt like a disaster at the time. The Phoenix Suns can only look on as the NBA Playoffs hit their stride in the second round, and fans can take some solace in the fact that this team would only have been humbled in the postseason had they gotten there. Instead they were able to sneak off into the summer without getting blasted on national television, although not having their lottery pick in this year's draft hurts.

Working out just the way Phoenix would have wanted. The Phoenix Suns might not be taking part in the NBA Playoffs this season, but that doesn't mean they don't have an interest in the games. This includes the Eastern Conference, with fans looking on enviously as Mikal Bridges turns in the kind of performances for the New York Knicks that they wish were instead taking place in The Valley.
Suns need to avoid potentially exciting Devin Booker trade package at all costs

Intriguing but should still be a hard no. Whether the Phoenix Suns like it or not, this summer is about to be one filled with uncertainty and baseless rumors. That's just the deal when you're an underperforming franchise who just fired their third head coach in three seasons - brought in this guy as General Manager for some reason - and have Devin Booker and Kevin Durant on your roster. The future of Durant in particular is one that is going to get a lot of people talking, and with good reason.
Perfect Kevin Durant trade partner distancing themselves from offseason deal

A massive blow to the Suns' hopes of re-tooling. The Phoenix Suns have begun this offseason by making moves, although what they have done to this point has been puzzling. Canning head coach Mike Budenholzer needed to be done and moving quickly to axe him was a great way to move past their horror 36 win season, but what came next was out of left-field.

An addition that makes too much sense not to pursue. The Phoenix Suns are about to embark on some massive changes this offseason, and their hunt for a new head coach is going to get underway shortly. There may be some shuffling of the front office before the search gets underway, but it is among the most important pieces of business for the organization this summer. Also at the top of the list is the future of Kevin Durant.
Suns may have made wrong player the scapegoat for disaster season

It's too late to take this one back. The NBA Playoffs might be in full swing, but much is still being made of the Phoenix Suns and their dreadful 36-46 season. A record made even worse by the fact they somehow started the season 8-1, and which has already seen head coach Mike Budenholzer lose his job. If the rumors are to be believed - and there's plenty of them right now - more change is coming to The Valley.

Far from perfect, but an avenue to explore. The Phoenix Suns have entered an offseason that is going to bring with it a ton of change, with Kevin Durant the player most likely to be moved by the franchise. As the Houston Rockets have shown in falling into a 3-1 hole versus the Golden State Warriors, they are one accomplished offensive closer away from being taken seriously.

Phoenix's trade ambitions just took a hit. The Phoenix Suns can only look on as the NBA's playoffs unfold in front of them, but at least Devin Booker has stuck around in The Valley as the team stares into a long offseason. To this point, it sure felt like the series between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors - and who came out on top - could go some way to deciding what happens next in Phoenix.
