The NBA’s western conference was shaken up this past off-season and the Suns were right in the middle of it all. The Suns shook up the roster by adding a couple good rookies, some great veteran leaders and sending off players as a salary dump.
But even with the moves the Suns have made, the major question is still do the Suns have a legitimate chance at making the playoffs in the stacked Western conference? In my opinion they have a chance to squeak in, but that chance is very slim.
