It was leaked that the Suns would have at least one game against an Australian opponent, the Brisbane Bullets of the National Basketball League, Australia’s premiere professional basketball league. Having the opportunity to watch an Australian team is exciting in it’s own right, but also further connecting the Phoenix Suns franchise with our friends down under is doubly exciting.
As the Kyrie Irving talk has been hanging over the head of the Phoenix Suns franchise, the discussion about whether or not the Suns should be in full pursuit of the superstar point guard continues in full swing. There is no doubt that a trade for Irving would send ripples throughout the league and be the biggest impact trade of a player since the acquisition of Charles Barkley, but fans are still not sold.
