Alright, let’s talk Phoenix Suns, shall we? After a season that’s felt like a never-ending rollercoaster of bad decisions, drama, and “where’s the leadership?” moments, it’s no wonder the Suns’ front office is making moves that scream “Please help us, Bob Myers!”
And in the middle of this chaos? Devin Booker, who, when he’s not busy carrying this franchise, stopped by a lemonade stand in Arizona and made two kids’ day. Because, of course, he did. That’s just who Booker is, and fans can’t get enough. But, more on that in a bit. Coming back to the telenovela that’s the Suns, Ishbia is gunning to get the man who helped craft the Warriors dynasty with four titles and a lot of “Did they just do that?!” moves. But is Myers going to bite, or is this just another case of the Suns wishing they were as good as the team they’re watching on the other side of the court?
Let’s set the stage. The Suns are in turmoil. They’ve cycled through coaches faster than some of us go through snacks during a playoff game. Monty Williams? Out. Frank Vogel? Out. Mike Budenholzer? Yeah, you guessed it—out! Phoenix’s front office is about as stable as a toddler, and Ishbia knows it. So, what does he do? Well, he dials up Bob Myers, the man who made Steph Curry’s legacy look like it was written in the stars.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Myers is a wizard when it comes to assembling championship teams. The guy turned Draymond Green and Klay Thompson into cornerstones of one of the greatest dynasties ever. But here’s the thing—Bob Myers doesn’t just need a new job. He’s been kicking back, analyzing games for ESPN, and, oh yeah, making money consulting for the Washington Commanders (yeah, that Commanders). So what’s in it for him to go from winning titles in the Bay to cleaning up a Suns mess that’s been mostly a dumpster fire since Ishbia’s takeover?

Well, here’s the thing: Ishbia’s vision might just be enough to tempt Myers. The Suns have the pieces, albeit scattered like a game of pick-up basketball. Devin Booker is a star—no doubt about it. There’s the potential for greatness with players like Deandre Ayton and the flashes of brilliance from guys like Kevin Durant (when he’s not caught in the whirlwind of injuries). But it’s clear that there’s a missing ingredient, and that’s leadership at the very top. As Ishbia himself put it, “We’ve got to set it up front first with the leadership, and that starts with me.” His emphasis on foundational change highlights the urgency of bringing in someone like Myers to finally provide the stability the Suns need.
Now, we all know that the Warriors’ dynasty wasn’t just about having a collection of all-stars. It was about having the right pieces at the right time. That’s what Myers brought to Golden State. And it’s what the Suns need right now. A steady hand, a strategic mind, and someone who knows how to work with egos, build around superstar talent, and, most importantly, stay out of the way when it matters. Can Myers see the potential in Phoenix and think, “Yeah, I can do that here”? Or will he wisely stay on the beach, enjoying the fruits of his labor while the Suns continue to flounder?
What’s your perspective on:
Can Bob Myers really turn the Suns' chaos into a championship contender, or is it a lost cause?
Have an interesting take?
Meanwhile, Devin Booker’s Out Here Being the MVP of Arizona Kids’ Hearts
While Ishbia is out here speed-dialing Bob Myers like a college kid scrambling for a tutor the night before finals, Devin Booker’s busy being the face of everything right with Phoenix. And we’re not just talking about buckets.
Over the weekend, Booker pulled up—literally—in a vintage ride, looking like he just drove straight out of a 90s NBA commercial. He rolled up to a random lemonade stand in the Valley where two kids were selling drinks under the Arizona sun, probably hoping for a couple bucks and maybe a smile or two from the neighbors. Instead, they got Devin freakin’ Booker.

Not only did he buy a drink (Orange Gatorade… really, guys?), he handed them a hundred-dollar bill like it was nothing. The best part? The kids didn’t even realize it was him until after the fact. Classic Booker move—humble, low-key, and genuinely good-hearted.
And of course, fans absolutely loved it.
One fan said, “That kid just had the most unforgettable lemonade stand shift of his life.” Because let’s be real—when your small business gets surprise-invested by Devin Booker, that’s going on the résumé and the family group chat.

Another chimed in, “Shout out to Book for this, those kids will never forget that.” That kind of moment hits different—especially when it comes with a free life lesson and a hundred bucks in change.
One fan summed it up perfectly: “This five minutes Devin Booker of the @Suns took will be a lifetime memory for this kid and something to use to fuel success.” Five minutes for Booker, a lifetime of bragging rights for the kiddos.
Another added, “A dude who truly cares about the community he represents.” Whether it’s 40-point nights or random acts of kindness, Book keeps showing up for Phoenix.

And of course, someone had to mention the fit: “A beanie in the Phoenix heat is wild.” Booker pulled up dressed like it was snowing in Flagstaff, but hey—when you’re that cool, who needs logic?
At the end of the day, the Suns might still be searching for direction in the front office, but at least Devin Booker’s out here setting the tone. While Ishbia’s making big calls, Book’s keeping it simple—showing up, doing good, and reminding everyone why he’s the heart of this franchise. Maybe Phoenix doesn’t need a full reset—maybe it just needs more of that.
