Recently I discussed how one former Phoenix Suns player predicted the length of the current four-game preseason schedule almost forty years ago.
However, in that age of little player movement and consistent coaches, four games might have made more sense for athletes who really had a great sense of who their teammates were because they played with them for extended periods of time.
Today, NBA rosters are generally in a constant state of flux – especially when the teams have been bad and winning comes at a premium.
Take the Phoenix Suns for instance.
