Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia isn’t worried about his franchise being predicted to tumble next season after their busy offseason. The Suns traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets and released Bradley Beal, while retaining Devin Booker and signing him to a two-year, $145 million extension.
ESPN predicted the Suns as one of the six teams that will tumble next season, along with the Milwaukee Bucks, LA Lakers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers. However, Ishbia pointed out that the same experts were wrong about his team being contenders in the past two seasons.
“I’m not worried about what the so-called experts think. They had us as a title contender the past two years and were wrong then. We’re focused on making our fans proud by playing great as a team and building a brand of basketball that’s tough and gritty,” Ishbia tweeted.
