(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia raised a lot of eyebrows the other day when he gave an optimistic outlook about his team after they just got swept in the opening round of the playoffs. Ishbia has faith in his team and the roster they currently have and made it sound like not much has to change. Fans weren’t very happy about that, and neither were some of the co-hosts on “The Carton Show.” On Friday’s episode, Ishbia was called a “clown” by Craig Carton, while Tim Hardaway Sr. stated that Ishbia is acting like Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

(Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images)   The Phoenix Suns were just swept out of the opening round of the NBA playoffs, a disappointing and somewhat shocking conclusion to the season. But Suns owner Mat Ishbia pushed back on calls for change, stating that the team’s starting five will remain intact in the new season and that not much will be changing. Stephen A. Smith was perplexed by Ishbia’s comments and stated his confusion on Thursday’s “First Take.” He said that the timing of Ishbia’s statement was bad because the team has just been swept and fans are demanding some adjustments. .@ste ..read more

(Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)   Another year, another disappointing end to the NBA season for the Phoenix Suns. Despite having one of the best rosters in the NBA on paper, the Suns have been unable to pull their stars together and go on a deep playoff run. The Suns are fresh off losing their first-round playoff series to the Minnesota Timberwolves, needing to go back to the drawing board for the 2024-2025 season. As reporter Trevor Booth shared in a Twitter thread, Suns owner Mat Ishbia spoke to the media about the team’s early exit and what’s next for them. One of the first things I ..read more

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)   The Phoenix Suns were considered by many people to be a legitimate championship contender last summer when they traded for star guard Bradley Beal and added him to a roster that already included Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. But for multiple reasons, they won a modest 49 games in the regular season and ended up getting swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves. All of a sudden, there are rumors that Durant wants out and that the team could make a significant move, perhaps in order to acquire a legitimate point guar ..read more

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)   The Phoenix Suns’ season came to a disheartening end on Sunday night, as they got swept out of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves. There was no denying that it was a bad night and head coach Frank Vogel spoke frankly about his feelings. “There’s no worse professional feeling in the world than getting swept in the NBA playoffs. I’ve never been a part of it. I feel pretty low right now,” Vogel said, via Gerald Bourguet and Legion Hoops. Frank Vogel: “There's no worse professional feeling in the world than getting swept in the NBA playoff ..read more

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)   Devin Booker has been the only consistent part of the Phoenix Suns for years. During his time with the team, he has seen a list of other players come and go, as well as a head coach and owner too. But is Booker keeping an eye on the exit? That’s what Stephen A. Smith thinks. According to NBACentral, Smith said that Booker is thinking about becoming a member of the New York Knicks. “[Booker] might deny it, I haven’t spoken to him. I’m just telling you the scuttlebutt in the NBA circles is that brother wanna be in New York,” Smith said. Devin Bo ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   The Phoenix Suns fell painfully short of all expectations and hopes this season. The team had great aspirations and was seen as the next big squad in the Western Conference after all the changes they made last summer. But instead of a championship ring, they only received an early dismissal from the playoffs and now there is a lot of speculation about the team’s future. According to NBACentral, via Hoops Wire, some people close to the organization don’t have much faith in Suns owner Mat Ishbia. “It’s like looney tunes around here. It’s felt unstabl ..read more

(Photo by Icon Sportswire)   Frank Vogel was hired as head coach of the Phoenix Suns last summer as a way to bring the team’s new lineup together and work through their postseason problems. That didn’t happen and now his job is reportedly on the line. According to Shams Charania, via NBACentral, the Suns are contemplating firing Vogel after a disappointing playoff run, that ended Sunday night at the hands of Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves. “Sources tell me the Suns will consider a coaching change…I’m told Kevin Durant had real issues with the offense, the way it was ran, h ..read more

(Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images)   The Phoenix Suns let their fans down once again. This time, however, it wasn’t much of a surprise. Despite having two elite scorers and a solid player in Bradley Beal, the Suns never truly meshed. Beal’s constant injuries and their lack of a traditional point guard set them back over and over, and Jusuf Nurkic didn’t exactly step up as the dominant rim protector Frank Vogel’s teams have thrived with. They lost games they were supposed to win, and the coach never seemed in true control of the team. Now, a report by Shams Charania of The Athletic shed ..read more

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)   The Phoenix Suns look more and more like a failed experiment right now. There were some big and legitimate concerns about this team entering the season, and they only got bigger as the campaign went by. It seemed like they had found the depth they needed in free agency, rounding up the roster with switchable defenders and capable shooters. Then again, their lack of a traditional point guard was a major concern, as well as their stars’ injury-proneness, and both of those things hampered their ability to be at their best all year long. They’re no ..read more
