The Phoenix Suns are in complete and total disarray. They’re 12-23 in a season that began with playoff aspirations, Eric Bledsoe wasn’t meshing with Brandon Knight before a meniscus injury sidelined him for the season, head coach Jeff Hornacek is on the hot seat and there’s been no solution for the ongoing Markieff Morris melodrama.

But for others, it’s the regrets that overshadow everything, which is why you hear so many people say, “Yeah, I’m completely ready for a new year.” You could say the Phoenix Suns definitely, absolutely, 100 percent fit that second category — 2016 couldn’t have come soon enough.
