00:00The season ended today, Mark.
00:01The Phoenix Suns would be out of the playoffs.
00:03And why is that meaningful?
00:04Kevin Durant, their best basketball player this season,
00:07at least, over Devin Booker and Bradley Beal
00:08does even show up on time for work half the time.
00:11You take a look at the Suns,
00:12now expected to miss at least, Mark,
00:15one week with an ankle injury for Kevin Durant.
00:18The Suns, as it shows, are one and a half games
00:19out of the play-in with the toughest remaining schedule
00:22in the NBA.
00:24So Kevin Durant comes back, maybe he does or doesn't,
00:27but the Phoenix Suns, with those aspirations
00:29of making a tighter run at the beginning of the season,
00:31their tighter run now is like,
00:32well, maybe we can make the play-in as the 10th seed.
00:35What a disaster for the Suns this season.
00:38Yeah, I mean, how do you want to look at this?
00:40In the micro view or the macro view?
00:41Because you kind of just detail the micro view.
00:44It's an absolute disaster.
00:45They have not been good.
00:47This is not a team that poses any serious threat
00:50to anybody to make a deep run in the Western Conference.
00:52You know, even if they do make the play-in tournament,
00:55even if they do get out of there as the eighth seed,
00:57guess what?
00:59You are decidedly going to get whooped
01:01by the Oklahoma City Thunder
01:02in the first round of the playoffs.
01:03So there's no short-term future that bodes well,
01:08and the long-term future doesn't bode well either,
01:10because as it looks like right now,
01:12you have to trade Devin Booker
01:13if you want out of this thing, right?
01:15Nobody wants Bradley Beal.
01:17Nobody wants to take on that contract.
01:18He doesn't want to play for you.
01:20He doesn't want to go anywhere either.
01:21Kevin Durant's not staying.
01:22I mean, there isn't anything the Phoenix Suns
01:25can do at this point other than just rebuild
01:27and rebuild fast.
