Are teams built like the Phoenix Suns a cautionary tale for the San Antonio Spurs‘ rebuild? After watching new Suns owner Matt Ishbia go all in on contention in order to bring star forward Kevin Durant and veteran guard Bradley Beal to Phoenix to pair with Suns shooting guard Devin Booker and seeing it amount to naught, other teams are having second thoughts about that model.
Now, as the Spurs start on the latter stages of their current rebuild, it is becoming increasingly evident how much risk there is vs. reward in the model the Suns are using under the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
The host of the “Locked On Spurs” podcast, Jeff Garcia, took some time on a recent episode to share his concerns for modeling San Antonio’s rebuild on Phoenix’s.
Take a look in the clip embedded above to hear what he had to say.
