The era of star acquisitions for the Phoenix Suns concluded with the trades of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. New owner Mat Ishbia's aggressive strategies in 2023 brought hope, but the trio of Durant, Beal, and Devin Booker never performed cohesively. The Suns managed only one playoff series victory while Beal was part of the team, failing to win any games during his presence and missing the playoffs thereafter. The Suns now return to a roster centered around Booker, reminiscent of their previous state before securing Chris Paul.
The Suns had high hopes in 2023 with new owner Mat Ishbia aggressively acquiring star players Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, aiming for championship success.
Despite their combined 16 All-Star appearances, Durant, Beal, and Devin Booker failed to coexist, resulting in minimal playoff success with only one series victory.
The Suns' tenure with Beal ended in disappointment, as they never won a playoff game during his time, culminating in a first-round sweep and missing playoffs.
After parting ways with both Durant and Beal, the Suns return to relying on Devin Booker, echoing the pre-2020 era before acquiring Chris Paul.
