Although we are fully-entrenched in the doldrums of the NBA offseason, that does not mean there's nothing to talk about, right? Well, we'll find something, at least.

On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we continue down the Suns' offseason as we discuss:

The Suns' new City Edition jerseys for next season (or at least what we think they'll look like);

New two-way signee Duane Washington, Jr., and the return of Ish Wainright;

Jae Crowder's tweet;

Whether Cameron Johnson or Jae should start at the 4 if the Suns run it back; and

Reports of a meeting planned between Kevin Durant and Nets owner, Joe Tsai.

We also play a fun game called, "what would you do for multiple Suns championships?" and I will just say that no one can ever question Dan's devotion to the team.

Deandre Ayton is a Phoenix Sun for at least 4 more years... we think? We dedicated an entire episode to talk all things DA. The contract, the money, the aftermath, the whole ordeal, and what we think may happen with that contract in the future.

The Indiana Pacers actually signed Deandre Ayton to an offer sheet and the Phoenix Suns matched it immediately (like... literally).

Yes, this is a good thing. No, this does not mean that a trade for Kevin Durant is dead. And we discuss why on this week's Fanning the Flames.

In addition, we get into:

Why the Suns matched the Pacers' offer sheet so quickly;

The Suns facing a luxury tax bill for next season;

What the Suns saved (and DA lost) by a 4-year extension not getting done last offseason; and

Whether we think Ayton is actually in the team's long-term plans.

We here at Into the Valley believe that basketball is good... even when it doesn't involve the Phoenix Suns. In this episode we set out to answer the question: "When you're not watching the Suns, who ARE you watching?"

In this episode, we do our best to share with you who you should be watching on League Pass in this upcoming season. And if you don't have League Pass, why not?! Become a card carrying League Pass member and starting watching more hoops! (Or you can stick to your sketchy Reddit streams... we understand).

What happens if Deandre Ayton gets an offer sheet and signs it?

Are we concerned about that actually happening?

Thoughts on the other moves the Suns have made.

Last week on Fanning the Flames, we discussed the possibility of Kevin Durant being traded to the Phoenix Suns this offseason. When news broke that Kyrie Irving was opting in to his contract, many believed KD was no longer an option. The Podcast of Optimism, of course, did not... and now the possibility of Durant joining Devin Booker and Chris Paul in Phoenix is looking more like a future reality.

So, again, it's all things KD this week on Fanning the Flames, as we discuss:

The odds of this trade happening.

What it might cost the Suns.

Whether we have any concerns over KD based on his history.

Remember, Suns fans, patience is a virtue.

We are thriving and surviving during this NBA offseason.

Today we attempt to answer one question: Is Devin Booker a Top 10 player in today's NBA? And depending on your answer, what does that mean about the future of the Phoenix Suns?

It feels like it has been a long and acrimonious offseason already... and we have not even made it to the NBA Draft.

But what does the near future look like for the Phoenix Suns?

We delve into that in a new episode of Fanning the Flames. Topics this week include:

Are the Suns are going to get back into the Draft?

Could Kevin Durant be on his way to the Suns this offseason?

Does the Jerami Grant trade mean anything for Deandre Ayton's future (and perhaps KD's, too)?
