Okogie's deal is non-guaranteed in the second season, giving the Suns optionality, sources said. The 6-foot-4 defender had multiple teams interested and reached new Suns deal on Thursday.

You got to hand it to PHX, they are trying their darnest to create some kind of assets. Overpayng Okogie in hopes they can eventually move him for a better player. He is probably not more than a minimum player. I guess if the owner is fine with spending the extra money as they are already in the second apron, all the power to him.
I think PHX is being passed over a little. I just can't trust their health, but I could see a route where one of the top 4 in the West has some injuries and PHX gets a top 4 spot. Heck, they were pretty close this year despite a really frustrating year. Long term, I just don't see much hope of getting to where they thought they could get to though. Maybe a year where they make the conference finals and then never to reach that level again. Getting to a conference finals is an uphill battle though.

I think KD and Booker are a legit combo.
I just don't think they addressed the obvious problem, which is that they don't have a PG. The 5 is a problem for them, too, but the big mistake was that awful Bradley Beal addition, and he has a no-trade clause. I think they'll have nights when they look dominant, but end of the day those guys don't fit with each other as a trio, imho.
