The Phoenix Suns have an open roster spot but didn't sign Lonnie Walker as he joined the Boston Celtics this week.

Brendon Kleen is joined by Stephen PridGeon-Garner of PHNX Sports to discuss if Walker really was a fit, the Suns' biggest need, and what they can do with that final roster spot now that Walker is not an option.

Through the first five years of Devin Booker’s career, there’s been so many incredible moments you could already fill a whole scrapbook.

From Booker’s coming out party against Kawhi Leonard in Mexico City to the historic 70-point explosion versus the Boston Celtics, we take you through everything Booker has accomplished so far.

After looking back on Booker's first five seasons, what should we look forward to during the next phase of Booker’s career?

SB Nation’s own Michael Pina stopped by the show today to discuss a litany of topics with us. From the Suns’ bright future to how teams go about developing team chemistry, a lot of good nuggets littered throughout this one.

Pina recently wrote a tremendous story on the Suns, looking at how they are finally starting to show improvement after years of stagnation. Led by Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton plus Ricky Rubio’s studying presence, Phoenix is finally moving up, but what does Ayton’s true ceiling look like?

We close talking through Michael’s feature story on team chemistry in the Association. What were his biggest takeaways after writing it? Finally, what will the NBA look like when it resumes after COVID-19?

We begin Best Moments in Franchise History Week on the Locked On NBA Network by revisiting three ground-shaking moments for the Suns. Dave King of Bright Side of the Sun joins to help us sift through Suns history.

First, Tom Chambers becoming the NBA’s first unrestricted free agent and choosing Kevin Johnson and the Suns. Then, Gar Heard’s fateful turnaround jumper that would become sealed in history as “The Shot Heard ‘Round The World.”

We close by talking about the chain reaction that led to Steve Nash signing with Phoenix as a free agent in 2004, and all that changed when Nash arrived.

What’s going to happen once the league is back from its current hiatus? Will we even have playoff games still, or just restart in 2020-21?

Early Bird Rights’ Jeff Siegel joined the show to dissect where the league could go. Should the schedule change to a December start time permanently moving forward?

We give our predictions if we see NBA basketball again this season, and in what type of environment expected without any fans, plus how it all could affect the Suns’ offseason.

We can’t get enough of the NFL this week so we we crossed over into football for a day. The future of Valley sports is bright, thanks in large part to Devin Booker and Kyler Murray, but which franchise cornerstone is more promising right now?

We revisit our debate from the fall looking at both young stars from their team’s point of view. How should the Arizona Cardinals avoid the mistakes the Phoenix Suns saw early on in Booker's career?

All of that, plus much more, in this fun episode for sports fans during NFL draft week. We finish by picking which player is the better franchise star at this point in time.

With the sports world in limbo, we had the chance to speak to Suns GM James Jones and head coach Monty Williams for a conference call on the 2020 season. From what happens next with the NBA’s schedule, Devin Booker, and draft prep, there is lots to go over.

Is Point Book the best idea long-term for this Suns team? We believe so, and it should’ve been utilized more often in 2019-20. Williams seemed to admit that as well.

All of this, plus much more, in a jam-packed episode! Everything you need to get caught up on the latest with the Suns and the NBA.
