Bright Side staff says Phoenix opens Wednesday in Portland with real continuity and a deep bench, but Brandon Duenas noted the Suns are already down their starting center until at least February.
Suns owner Mat Ishbia said on CNBC that Phoenix tried to chase a title by adding Kevin Durant, then later changed course by trading him, hiring a new general manager and coach, and defining a new team identity he calls Suns DNA.
Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon met with Portland officials after a preseason game as the sides continued talks on Moda Center renovations and a new 20-year lease. The negotiations had been tense earlier this summer, but the tone now appears calmer.
Utah beat Phoenix 119-116 in the preseason finale, and both teams used their probable regular-season starting groups for about half the game before turning to the bench units.
Phoenix finished preseason with a 119-116 loss to Utah, but the game was used as a dress rehearsal as the starters played through the first three quarters.
Golden State finished its preseason Saturday with a 128-118 win over Portland, as Stephen Curry scored 20 points and Draymond Green added seven points, eight rebounds and 11 assists. The Warriors’ bench also outscored the Trail Blazers 61-47 in the finale.
In the league’s anonymous GM survey, Phoenix received no top-four votes for who will win the 2027 NBA Finals, and the Suns also came up empty in several team-category questions.
