The playoffs are a long way away, but with the In-Season Tournament tipping off, what better time to dive into what the final rotation could look like?

Photo by Rich Graessle/Getty Images Your weekly roundup of Phoenix Suns news, rumors, notes and videos from the prior week plus a preview of the week to come. WELCOME to your news roundup of the week that was and the week yet to come for your Phoenix Suns. The Suns enter the second quarter of their season with a winning record and that’s great considering the plethora of injuries to the Big Three. Most of the season so far, the Suns have been relegated to one mega star going to work with a bucket of leggos. More on that to come.

Their top-end talent is costly, which means a platoon of veteran minimum contracts make up the majority of their team ..read more

Let’s dive into some of what caught my att ..read more

Photo by Zac BonDurant/Getty Images The Grizzlies attacked early but the Suns pulled away in the third quarter and never looked back. He was a game-time decision, but Devin Booker was cleared to play and his presence was paramount to the Phoenix Suns defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 116-109 on Saturday night. The win snaps a two-game losing streak for Phoenix, as well as snapping a two-game winning streak for the Grizz. Devin Booker ended the game with 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images No one holds the two-time MVP in check, but Nurk’s willingness to stand up to him earned our respect The Phoenix Suns may have lost to the Denver Nuggets last night, but respect was earned. No, probably not from the Nuggets’ faithful. Phoenix had 14 more free throws than Denver and therefore the game was improperly officiated and their two-time MVP Nikola Jokic was most likely “mugged” and “assaulted”.
