Suns owner Mat Ishbia recently spoke at the NBA 2K24 Summer League, sharing the team’s mindset for the trio.
“We love Kevin Durant, we love Devin Booker [and Bradley Beal]. We didn’t put our team together for a one-year try. First year, didn’t get to where we want to be. Second year, we’re going to see,” Ishbia said.
