The Suns had a reason for not pursuing D’Angelo Russell. It just had nothing to do with basketball.
Phoenix believed the 23-year-old All-Star would be a bad influence on 22-year-old Devin Booker off the court, according to USA Today, which led them to sign Ricky Rubio.
Booker and Russell are friends, and Booker — along with many fans — were reportedly pushing for management to get the former Net in the desert.
