The Phoenix Suns have 30 days to save the season.
They have 30 days to acquire a star.
They have 30 days to save the future of the franchise.
Why?
Because they have 30 days before Devin Booker is traded.
Well, technically 26 – I am publishing this a couple of days late.
No, Booker is not likely to be traded on the NBA’s February 6 trade deadline – at least I think he has more self-respect than Goran Dragic did.
But if Robert Sarver and James Jones do not come together to bring about a tremendous deal that not only improves the roster in a big way now but well into the future, the ticking clock that we all fear we hear in the back’s of our mind, subtly now but only destined to grow deafening like the heart beat of an Edgar Allen Poe character, will go off like an alarm to wake the dead following the end of this season.
