After narrowly missing out on the NBA Championship in 2021, Ishiba has splashed the cash in order to build a team able to compete for the top honors. The franchise traded for Kevin Durant last season, but they lost in the Western Conference semis to the eventual champions, the Denver Nuggets.

Ishiba Keeping his Promise

After trading for Kevin Durant on the trade deadline and losing to the Nuggets comprehensively. The ownership group and the front office knew they had to make changes to the roster to stand a chance of winning the title. The first puzzle fell when it was announced that the Suns would part ways with their head coach, Monty Williams. Suns announced Frank Vogel as his replacement. Vogel led LeBron and the Lakers to their title in 2020.

Then in the offseason the Suns front office got to work. They traded aging point guard Chris Paul to the Wizards and in return got 3x All-Star Bradley Beal. Beal along with Durant and Booker create a frightening triad that would put the league on notice because of their offensive firepower.
