Season Predictions
Regular Season: After holding off the Thunder and Pelicans for the final playoff spot out West for the better part of the season, the Suns took a necessary step back at the trade deadline in order to plan for the future, while the Thunder sacrificed part of their future for a playoff run this season. With star PG’s Isaiah Thomas and Goran Dragic out, and star PG/SG Brandon Knight and a plethora of future draft choices in, the Suns are clearly looking to build towards their future. This will be around a backcourt of PG/SG Eric Bledsoe and Knight, while also featuring the Morris twins at the forward spots and yong C Alex Len up front, as well as others and their abundance of draft picks in the future. However, all this future plotting did cost the Suns a playoff berth, though it would’ve been really tough to keep it anyways considering the steps forward that the Thunder took.
Projected Record: 41-41
