  • What Happened Between Devin Booker, the Suns & the Fans? 👀🔥
    May 18 2026

    Some Phoenix Suns fans are frustrated. Some are exhausted. And some have reached the point where they believe trading Devin Booker is the answer 👀🔥

    But what if this conversation says more about modern fandom than it does about Booker himself?

    In this episode, we break down:

    Why some Suns fans have grown disconnected from the team

    How expectations around Devin Booker have changed over the years

    Why frustration has turned into calls for massive changes 👀

    And whether fans have started to lose sight of what being a fan actually means

    At what point does chasing perfection turn into forgetting how to appreciate franchise players, loyalty, and the journey that comes with fandom?

    This isn’t just about Devin Booker.

    It’s about the relationship between teams, stars, and fans in modern sports.

    👇 Let me know in the comments:

    Should the Suns ever consider trading Devin Booker… or are fans overreacting?

  • The Suns Could Regret Trading Jalen Green WAY Too Soon 👀
    May 15 2026

    Are Phoenix Suns fans giving up on Jalen Green too quickly? 👀🏀

    In this episode of Southwest Bias, Espo breaks down why the Suns shouldn’t rush into trading Jalen Green just yet, what his long-term upside could mean for Phoenix, and why patience may be the smarter move before making another major roster decision. With Devin Booker leading the franchise and the Suns trying to retool for the future, moving on from a young scorer too early could become a massive regret.

    We dive into:

    - Why Jalen Green still fits the Suns’ timeline

    - The risk of trading young talent too soon

    - How Phoenix can maximize Green’s development

    - What this means for Devin Booker and the future of the Suns

    - Potential trade value vs long-term upside

    If you’re a Phoenix Suns fan looking for NBA analysis, Suns rumors, Jalen Green updates, and realistic conversations check out Southwest Bias every Monday-Friday.

    0:00 - Breaking Bad

    2:00 - Jalen Green should NOT be traded

    13:00 - Giannis Fantasy Land

    20:00 - Chatting with chatters
