On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about Devin Booker's historic four game stretch, and the unfortunate injury to Kevin Durant.

To start the show, the guys talk about Booker's four game stretch of 35+ points, being the first to ever do so in a Phoenix Suns jersey. Booker has shown that he can play at this level without Kevin Durant on the floor, as well as sharing the court with him - can Booker continue to carry the load through the rest of the regular season?

Then, the guys talk about Kevin Durant's ankle injury that happened pregame against the Oklahoma City Thunder. We talk about who has to step up, and who we might see inserted into the rotation while we wait the 2-3 weeks to hear more news about KD.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about Kevin Duran't debut in a Suns jersey - and what his presence on the roster means for the team as a whole.

Kevin Durant made his debut against the Charlotte Hornets last week, and it became apparent that him being on the court was going to open up many opportunities for all the players sharing the court with him. The guys talk about what it means having a superstar like Kevin Durant on the team, which other guys will benefit the most, and what to expect from the Suns for the rest of the regular season.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich predict who the final member of the Phoenix Suns' new starting five will be, and take a deep look at the depth chart.

With the arrival of Kevin Durant to the Valley, there are four very (very) secured starters, and the Suns will have to fill one more player to complete the lineup. The guys discuss two of their favorite candidates - Josh Okogie and Torrey Craig - and take a look at a couple others like TJ Warren and the newest addition to the team, Terrence Ross.

Once that starter is decided, there will be some battles on the bench to determine who gets the most run on the court. Terrence Ross, Damion Lee, and Landry Shamet will likely be starting a battle for minutes at the backup SG behind Devin Booker - and we will have to watch who can best fit the other backup wing spot.

We'll be taking a break next week for the All Star Break, but we'll be back when KD hits the floor! (hopefully) Go Suns!

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich celebrate the arrival of Kevin Durant to Phoenix via what could be biggest trade in Phoenix Suns history. They talk about what this means for the current roster, what the on-court product will look like, and the future of the franchise.

Mat Ishbia, just hours after gaining majority ownership of the Phoenix Suns, pulled the trigger on a blockbuster trade to land Kevin Durant and TJ Warren - giving up Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, four 1st round picks, and a 2028 pick swap.

The Suns also made a move to bring in Darius Bazley from the Oklahoma City Thunder, while sending out Dario Saric and a 2nd round pick.

The guys discuss what this means, losing some fan-favorite players in Bridges, Johnson, and Saric. But in the end, all eyes are on one thing - a ring.

Go Suns!

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about the streaking Phoenix Suns, who are coming off a four game win streak. Chris Paul and Cameron Johnson have both returned to the lineup, both providing a huge spark for the team. Over the last week, the Suns have leapt from the 12th seed to a brief moment at the 5 seed - and currently sit at the 7 spot.

Good news on the ownership front, Mat Ishbia is set to take over the team before the February 9th trade deadline. The Suns seem to be active in numerous trade discussions, and it sounds like they had a shot at trading for Rui Hachimura, who ended up heading to the Lakers for a very reasonable return. Let's hope that James Jones and Ishbia will have something up their sleeves before the deadline hits.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich focus in on the Suns recent struggles, and if they think the Suns will have the opportunity to push through and make it into the playoffs. After that, they talk about a few recent injury updates, recap last week's games, and preview this week's.

The Suns are a dismal 1-9 over their last 10 games, and currently sitting in the 12th spot of the Western Conference. The streak of basketball is something that we haven't seen, as Suns fans, in quite a while - and it is easy to know where to point the finger - injuries and roster depth. But, there is still plenty of season left and the Suns will, sooner or later, have their full squad back and there is no reason to expect this team to just fold over.

Cameron Johnson made his return against the Brooklyn Nets, and there might be a good shot that we see some more guys return to the lineup over this four game homestand.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich discuss if it is time for the Suns to "blow it up", recent injuries, and some new information on the Suns ownership situation.

Is it time for the Phoenix Suns to blow it up? This sentiment has become a little bit louder on social media as of late, so the guys take a look at what a Suns rebuild would actually look like. The guys talk about what the Suns might do with their star players, and who would actually be a trade-worthy asset on the roster.

Brian Windhorst recently gave some inside news on the Suns 3-headed ownership situation, and what that means as the team heads towards the trade deadline. The guys talk about what sort of situation this puts James Jones in, and what to expect once the ownership officially transfers over to Ishbia.

The guys briefly discuss this last week of Suns basketball featuring 8 or 9 active players on the roster - make that 10 with the addition of Saben Lee on a 10-day contract. Most of this time is spent on the very, very surprising win over the Warriors in their own gym.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about the Devin Booker groin injury, other injury news, headlines from over the holiday break, and more.

It was disappointing to see Devin Booker's brief return to the court be ended by reaggravating his groin injury, and will end up missing about a month for the Suns. The guys also talk the Cameron Johnson timetable for return, Cameron Payne reaggravating his foot injury, and then have a brief conversation about if a finger needs to be pointed at the training staff.

Then the guys talk about what needs to be done for the Suns to get back to their winning ways without Devin Booker on the court. Lots of talk about Mikal Bridges stepping in as a consistent 2nd or 3rd scoring options were happening earlier this season, but Mikal has had a few rough games without Booker in the spotlight. Deandre Ayton is also another thought - and the guys talk about how the team could possibly attempt to get him more involved in the offense moving forward.

Things wrap up by the guys looking at the next four games (three on national TV) - and it is not looking great for the Suns. Lets hope the guys heal up and get hot before having to play Miami, Cleveland, Golden State, and Denver.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about Devin Booker's big 58 point night, give an injury update, take a look at a change in the Phoenix Suns' system, and discuss recent and upcoming Suns games.

It sure was nice to see Devin Booker getting back in his groove after the hamstring injury and a few sub-par games. Booker torched the Pelicans for 58 points in the final matchup of the regular season, reminding the Pelicans that the Suns are for real one last time before another potential playoff matchup.

The guys talk about the injury report, featuring Devin Booker nursing a groin injury - and took the night off against the Los Angeles Lakers - but Deandre Ayton is back. Still missing from the lineup is Cam Payne dealing with a foot injury, and Jock Landale in concussion protocol.

The guys spend some time talking about Josh Okogie and Torrey Craig and their roles on the team - and the special topic of offensive rebounding. The Suns are averaging the 6th most offensive rebounds per game this season, and those two attacking the glass has been a big part of the team's improvement in this stat category.

On this week's episode of the Sunny in PHX Podcast, Charlie Erling and Mitch Krmpotich talk about everything that has been going wrong with the Phoenix Suns, and give an injury update on a handful of Suns.

The Phoenix Suns have been hurting in a big way, going on a 0-5 streak and losing some key players to injury along the way. The Suns started the streak by coming out flat three games in a row, against opponents that a team with high hopes should have no problem showing up for - the Mavericks, Celtics, and Pelicans. The best performance of this stretch game in Game 2 against the Pelicans, without Devin Booker, where the Suns took the game to OT but didn't have enough in the tank to pull it out.

Things aren't getting any easiers for The Fellas, with upcoming games against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Pelicans AGAIN, and then the surging Los Angeles Lakers. Let's hope Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Cameron Payne heal up quick, because these are three huge upcoming games against Western Conference foes.
