We're getting an early season rematch of the 2021 Western Conference Finals tonight, but this Clippers team is seemingly much improved from the roster they rolled out against the Suns in that playoff series. The Suns obviously won that series in six games, but since then, the Clippers have added tons of talent to their roster while the Suns have kept their core intact.
The Suns are entering the 2022-2023 season with more question marks than we are accustomed to with this team. Yes, they have managed to keep their roster intact, but whether or not the current roster has the requisite talent necessary to compete for an NBA title has become a question following the embarrassing 50-point blowout they suffered against the Mavericks in the playoffs.
Deandre Ayton’s motivation is another major cloud looming over this team. It was no secret that Ayton wanted max-contract-level money and that the suns were hesitant to give it to him. The Suns ultimately ended up matching a four-year, $133 million max offer from the Indiana Pacers, but that didn't fully end the drama between Ayton and the franchise.
