Empire of the Suns: Recent Episodes
Arizona Sports
ArizonaSports.com's Kevin Zimmerman and Kellan Olson break down the storylines surrounding the Phoenix Suns every week. From in-depth analysis to breaking news reactions, the Empire of the Suns podcast has you covered for everything Suns.
Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have gotten dinged up, and the Phoenix Suns have come down to earth after a red-hot start. How worried are we?
Kevin Durant has been clutch. The Phoenix Suns' defense has been top-10 good. And that combination has Phoenix eeking out games despite some inconsistencies.
Mike Budenholzer's Phoenix Suns have shown their depth and promising efforts even through rough patches over their first four games. Ryan Dunn's stock is up, while Jusuf Nurkic's is down.
With the Empire of the Suns duo hosting Arizona Sports at Night, Kellan and Kevin take advantage to touch on the Phoenix Suns' preseason and their title chances with a look at the NBA as a whole. Finally, we make our 2024-25 season predictions for MVP, title winner and more.
We know it's the preseason, but the Phoenix Suns' spacing on offense and contributions from its two draft picks Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro are hard not to notice.
Bradley Beal admitted he struggled last year. He's just trying to have fun. We give our Phoenix Suns media day reactions and touch on the change in the Western Conference contenders stemming from the Karl-Anthony Towns trade.
We're back after an offseason hiatus. Kellan and Kevin remember Al McCoy being larger than life before looking ahead to Phoenix Suns media day.
The Phoenix Suns waived Nassir Little and E.J. Liddell in a move that saves $10s of millions in taxes. Was it related to the Suns' confidence in their two quite unique rookies?
Why does the Tyus Jones signing only bring more questions for the Phoenix Suns? Plus, we take in what Devin Booker and Kevin Durant have done for USA Basketball in wins over Serbia and South Sudan.
The Phoenix Suns didn't do anything groundbreaking but added two reliable veterans at point guard and center: Monte Morris and Mason Plumlee.
The Phoenix Suns' 2024 NBA Draft is complete with a couple of trades to add Oso Ighodaro out of Marquette, and the team even followed by signing Jalen Bridges on a two-way deal. Plus, an NBA free-agency preview.
Ryan Dunn went 58th overall to the Phoenix Suns, who piled up picks from the Denver Nuggets in the process. While the Virginia wing is perhaps one of the best defenders in the 2024 NBA Draft class, his offensive holes leave concerns about his upside.
We run down each of our top players in the 2024 NBA Draft who should be in range of options for the Phoenix Suns with their No. 22 overall selection.
The Phoenix Suns will have plenty of experienced, ready-to-go prospects available to them in the 2024 NBA Draft. But if they stay at No. 22, high-ceiling prospects could also be there.

Mike Budenholzer held his introductory press conference, and we go deep on what having a "point guard" means for the Phoenix Suns.
Frank Vogel was fired by the Phoenix Suns after a lengthy evaluation process, and it looks like they will quickly pursue a replacement for the job. Former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer is the frontrunner.
Why are the Phoenix Suns still without a resolution to Frank Vogel's job status? Who are coaches on the market if the Suns move on?
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant couldn't pull the smallball Suns past the Timberwolves in Game 4, ending their season with a sweep. Now, head coach Frank Vogel's job is the first thing to watch.
Anthony Edwards went off, the Suns got away from the things that kept them in it and boos were heard in Game three of their series against the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves scored 31 points off turnovers as the Phoenix Suns fell apart in Game 2 of the first-round series.
Anthony Edwards went wild and the Phoenix Suns lost a lot of the key stats in a Game 1 first-round loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Phoenix Suns somehow find themselves in a full playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who they swept in the regular season. Can they continue stopping Anthony Edwards? And are Devin Booker and Kevin Durant able to trend in a positive direction with Bradley Beal already hitting the postseason playing well?
In the final week of the season, it looks like the Phoenix Suns have continued to get worse, whether it's due to basketball things or more.

The Suns traded four players and picks to add Royce O'Neale from the Brooklyn Nets and David Roddy from the Memphis Grizzlies. We react to that and give an NBA-wide peek of deadline day.
Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic had big games in the back half of a long road trip that ended on a positive note before the Phoenix Suns enter the week of the NBA trade deadline. What assets and needs do they have?

Kevin Durant put together a pair of 40-pieces as the Phoenix Suns enter a seven-game road trip on a six-game winning streak.
The Suns burned through a 22-point deficit in eight minutes to beat the Kings thanks to a small-ball lineup. What are we taking from that run and what are we taking from the poor three-plus quarters before it?

Kevin Durant is out against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he gave the Phoenix Suns a two-game stretch alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to give fans a peek at the offensive boost when the Big 3 is healthy.
The Suns ugly loss to the Mavericks on Christmas Night came along with a vague report from Woj about Kevin Durant's frustrations. A win against the Rockets settled the noise, but did it mean much?
The Phoenix Suns' loss to the Blazers and a near-loss to the Wizards lead to concern. Can they fix things? Sure. But the team hasn't made progress and is now forced with playing catchup, so long as it can plug the many holes shown over the last week-plus.
The Phoenix Suns' Big Three debuted, but let's not let that loss to Mikal Bridges and the Nets send anyone into panic mode.
