Booker has four more years on his contract. The Suns have missed the playoffs for a decade, but have some momentum going into next year. Even if the bubble turns out to be a blip, and it might be, they have to see if they can move forward given how well things went. Cam Payne probably turns into a pumpkin, and probably shouldn’t bet on him being someone who can be relied upon. Rubio has had stretches where he looks like an All-Star point guard making everything around him better, but then goes cold. Dario Saric has not been in the league as long, but has also had a few runs where he leaves you wondering how good he can become. Bridges and Cam Johnson are young enough in their NBA careers where they might have figured it out a bit. Ayton didn’t have the best bubble, but obviously is a big part of their future. Waving the white flag and going for even more picks would be James Jones just inviting himself to be fired a year from now.
