The Phoenix Suns were quiet at the deadline. They did not feel the need to bolster a roster that is currently one of the best in the league and that makes complete sense. The overhaul in the offseason was more than enough for one season and the Suns do not have much in the way of weaknesses or trade assets to do anything at the moment.

Chris Paul has fully transformed this team in his likeness and it is the reason they are competing for the best record in the league. Deandre Ayton has shown things of late to make those worried about his progress feel a little better. Devin Booker is made for the biggest stage and getting to watch him in the postseason this year is going to be a delight.

Some teams missed an opportunity by not adding something at the deadline. That is not the Suns. They are ready for the battles ahead and just need to increase the reps together. Getting to the postseason healthy and clicking is the only thing that matters. Much like the only other Western Conference team ahead of them at this point, the Suns are just watching the rest squabble.
