Where do the Suns rank in relation to the other teams with title aspirations, or at least, the teams we actually think could win the whole thing. As always, we are...

November 07, 2022 17:11 - 51 minutes - 35.7 MBWARNING: This episode is a bit of a bummer. With Cam Johnson sidelined "indefinitely" the Suns will have to make some internal changes to keep the play strong and the vibes stronger.

In addition, we get into: Why the Suns matched the Pacers' offer sheet so quickly; The Suns facing a luxury tax bill for next season; What the Suns saved (and DA lost) by a 4-year extension not getting done last offseas...

July 01, 2022 17:37 - 1 hour - 87.6 MBLast week on Fanning the Flames, we discussed the possibility of Kevin Durant being traded to the Phoenix Suns this offseason.

So, again, it's all things KD this week on Fanning the Flames, as we discuss: The odds of this ...
