00:00Oklahoma City on the road last night, already clinching that one seed, but still mowing people

00:05down. They win by 13, 125-112. The Thunder cover as a seven-point road favorite. The Suns have now

00:12lost eight straight. That officially eliminates the Suns from playoff contention. As it says

00:18there, the Sun has now set in the Valley. Yeah, one team has a clinch. One team's still technically

00:24fighting for maybe a playoff spot at this point. You take a look at the starting lineup, no Lou

00:28Dort, no Cason Wallace, and also no SGA in the lineup, and an easy victory on the road for OKC,

00:34which then you still look at the starters and say, well, Devin Booker was out there 40 minutes,

00:3820 points, not good enough. He even had a cameo, as I like to say, for Bradley Beal, 25 points in

00:43this game. It's very rare that we see him into the 20s, and still they got hammered. This will be an

00:47interesting offseason for the Phoenix Suns. I was talking to Joe yesterday on the show. Basically,

00:51if you're the general manager or the ownership group, you have to blow this up because my

00:55thought process in sports, Ben, is either you're building for a championship or you're going the

01:00exact opposite direction and get as bad as you possibly can. So for me saying, OK, we'll try

01:05to get rid of Bradley Beal and give up draft capital. We'll trade Kevin Durant, but we'll keep

01:09Devin Booker. No, how many championships does Devin Booker have for the Phoenix Suns? None.

01:13Trade him. Move on. Get it started again. Get a ton of draft capital and rebuild.
