This week in Suns talk

The shows spent the week discussing how the Suns overachieved last season through toughness and hustle to make the playoffs, but there's concern about roster moves going forward. The talk centers on whether the Miles Bridges trade was the right call and whether losing Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale as spot-up shooters will hurt their spacing down the line.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

1 clips · 5 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Devin Booker, Miles Bridges, Khaman Maluach, Koa Peat, Dillon Brooks, Ryan Dunn.
