The Phoenix Suns had an awful year last year, finishing with only 23 wins against 59 losses and “earning” the 4th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft for their misery.
In the middle, as they lost 28 of 31 games, they also lost their spirit, their coaching staff and many of their best players to injuries while failing to trade their disgruntled power forward until well after the season was destroyed.
“I don’t think I had a very good year last year,” GM Ryan McDonough said in an understatement.
Over this most recent summer coming off a 23-win season, McDonough once again has not made any trades outside the draft process.
