- 511 - Fanning the Flames - Did You Guys Hear DA Got Traded?
It's been a long hiatus, but we're back for our first episode of Fanning the Flames since the season started and, indeed, since Deandre Ayton was traded by the Phoenix Suns (yes... it's been THAT long).
Dan and Justin break down the season so far, who has impressed us, who has disappointed us, and what things look like for the Suns moving forward.

- 509 - New Uniforms and Offseason Happenings
There's been a lot of activity in the world of the Phoenix Suns since the last episode of Fanning the Flames, so we have plenty to cover in this one. Topics include:
- Our thoughts on the Suns' new uniforms;
- Who's going to be the fifth starter?
- Is Deandre Ayton going to change the narrative?
- Who we are most excited to see in action out of the Suns' minimum contract players.
That, and more, on this episode of Fanning the Flames.

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 - 58min - 508 - Bradley Beal, Deandre Ayton, CP3, and... Ish Wainright?
The Phoenix Suns landed Bradley Beal in what many call a fleecing of the Washington Wizards, but how will he fit alongside Devin Booker and Kevin Durant? We think just fine.
In addition to diving into that on this episode of Fanning the Flames, we also discuss:
- whether Deandre Ayton will be back with the team next year.
- Chris Paul being traded to the Golden State Warriors.
- what Daniel has against Ish Wainright

We are one week removed from the Phoenix Suns being eliminated from the NBA Playoffs in embarrassing fashion (again) by the Denver Nuggets, and a lot has already changed for Planet Orange. We cover it all on this episode of Fanning the Flames, as we discuss:

- What the options are for his replacement and how feasible those options might be (Ty Lue?);

Thu, 18 May 2023 - 1h 02min - 505 - Time to Protect Our House
The Phoenix Suns are down 2-0 to the Denver Nuggets. Ideal? No. Dire? Not just yet. The Nuggets did their job in Denver. Now, it's time for Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and company to do the same in Phoenix.
On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we preview Game 3, discuss who we think may step it up for the Suns, and delve into our standard nonsense.

Last week we asked the question, "Is Jae Crowder finally getting traded?", and now we have an answer: "Yes."

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 - 1h 17min - 495 - Fanning the Flames - A Win
The Phoenix Suns had lost 6 in a row, only suited up 9 players, and had Mikal Bridges as the only available regular starter, but despite it all, the team pulls out a big victory over the Golden State Warriors. Maybe the Suns are back from holiday break like us! Did it get dicey towards the end? Sure. But a win is a win and the Suns need them when they can get them while they continue to battle through injuries. On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we break down the win over the Warriors and dive into other subjects including: How the team can build on this victory; Whether we expect moves to still happen (yes); Why Klay Thompson is the way he is; and We even dive into some Arizona Cardinals talk.

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 - 57min - 491 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - Great Expectations.
The Suns are riding a 4 game losing streak as we type this episode summary. There are lots of questions that could be asked, and understandably so. The goal of this episode is to answer two big questions: 1. What have we learned about the Suns themselves (i.e. what have we learned about the players, coaches, front office, etc.)? 2. 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 aren't the place for overreactions, but we do try to work together and diagnose where the problem areas may be, and see if anything can be done to fix them. Let us know on Twitter what you think on it all and where we may have it wrong!

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 - 1h 12min - 490 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - Still The Best In The West.
What an interesting week of basketball. The Suns blew out some teams, and got blown out by others. Devin Booker shines as he puts on an MVP showcase and then follows it up with a dud. Chris Paul is hurt, and then he's... well, still hurt. We talk about what we can learn, and maybe shouldn't take too seriously, from this run of games and talk about what still needs to change moving forward!

The Phoenix Suns are depleted by injuries and have lost a couple of games since our last episode of Fanning the Flames. Nonetheless, guys keep stepping up, the team is persevering, and - despite it all - are still sitting just one-half game out of first in the West. We break down the past week in the Suns (and our own little) universe as we discuss: The greatest episode of Suns JAM Session (@SunsJAM) ever; All the dysfunction around the NBA; Klay Thompson and the Splash Only Child, Steph Curry; Why Jae Crowder may - or may not - be traded soon; Whether Grayson Allen is a James Jones guy; and Why the Golden State Warriors have surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers on our list of teams we... ahem... do not appreciate very much.

WARNING: 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. With Craig's likely shift into the starting 5, what will happen to the bench unit?

In addition, Jake Braunger (@FallenFounder) joins us as we dive into: Sarver issuing one of the most egotistical and tone deaf public statements ever made in the history of mankind; The logic behind Sarver's statement; Why Adam Silver's press conference was actually a stroke of genius; Who the future owner of the Suns might be; and What other offseason moves may be in store Make sure to follow Paul (@DervishOfWhirl), Dan (@danduarte1), Justin (@SoSaysJ), and the pod (@FanTheFlamesNBA) on Twitter.

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 - 56min - 472 - Fanning the Flames - The Sarver Report
We've been away for a bit, but the release of the Sarver Report certainly warrants a return. We dive into the report with our boy Gavin Sporle (@GuessworkGav) from the Aussie Suns Fans Podcast (@AussieSunsFans), as we discuss: Immediate reactions to the report; How the facts outlined in the report resulted in Adam Silver's punishment decision; The likelihood of the minority owners pushing Robert Sarver out; Various oddities in the Sarver Report, including the NBA having know of him using the N-work as of at least 2016; and What kind of impact the Sarver Report may have on the team.

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 - 27min - 470 - Fanning the Flames - Is It NBA Season Yet?
Although we are fully-entrenched in the doldrums of the NBA offseason, that does not mean there's nothing to talk about, right? Well, we'll find something, at least. On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we continue down the Suns' offseason as we discuss: The Suns' new City Edition jerseys for next season (or at least what we think they'll look like); New two-way signee Duane Washington, Jr., and the return of Ish Wainright; Jae Crowder's tweet; Whether Cameron Johnson or Jae should start at the 4 if the Suns run it back; and Reports of a meeting planned between Kevin Durant and Nets owner, Joe Tsai. We also play a fun game called, "what would you do for multiple Suns championships?" and I will just say that no one can ever question Dan's devotion to the team.

Thu, 21 Jul 2022 - 44min - 468 - Fanning the Flames - What a Weird, Wonderful Day
The Indiana Pacers actually signed Deandre Ayton to an offer sheet and the Phoenix Suns matched it immediately (like... literally). Yes, this is a good thing. No, this does not mean that a trade for Kevin Durant is dead. And we discuss why on this week's Fanning the Flames. 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 offseason; and Whether we think Ayton is actually in the team's long-term plans.

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 - 47min - 466 - Fanning the Flames - Extensions, Offer Sheets, and Kevin Durant... Oh My
On this week's episode of Fanning the Flames, Sam Good (@samgood) joins Dan and Justin to celebrate Devin Booker's Supermax Extension and heap praise on the man who will someday be the face of this city. From there, the guys discuss where the Phoenix Suns offseason has gone over the last week and where it is going in the coming weeks, diving into: What happens if Deandre Ayton gets an offer sheet and signs it? Are we concerned about that actually happening? Thoughts on the other moves the Suns have made. Tune in for this, and more, on this episode of Fanning the Flames.

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 - 49min - 464 - Fanning the Flames - Kevin Durant... a Phoenix Sun? (Again)
Last week on Fanning the Flames, we discussed the possibility of Kevin Durant being traded to the Phoenix Suns this offseason. When news broke that Kyrie Irving was opting in to his contract, many believed KD was no longer an option. The Podcast of Optimism, of course, did not... and now the possibility of Durant joining Devin Booker and Chris Paul in Phoenix is looking more like a future reality. So, again, it's all things KD this week on Fanning the Flames, as we discuss: The odds of this trade happening. What it might cost the Suns. Whether we have any concerns over KD based on his history. Remember, Suns fans, patience is a virtue. Make sure to follow Paul (@DervishOfWhirl), Dan (@danduarte1), Justin (@SoSaysJ), and the pod (@FanTheFlamesNBA) on Twitter.

Wed, 29 Jun 2022 - 1h 08min - 462 - Fanning the Flames - Kevin Durant... a Phoenix Sun?
It feels like it has been a long and acrimonious offseason already... and we have not even made it to the NBA Draft. But what does the near future look like for the Phoenix Suns? We delve into that in a new episode of Fanning the Flames. Topics this week include: Are the Suns are going to get back into the Draft? Could Kevin Durant be on his way to the Suns this offseason? Does the Jerami Grant trade mean anything for Deandre Ayton's future (and perhaps KD's, too)?

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 - 52min - 460 - Fanning the Flames - Toxicity in the Workplace
As everyone knows, there has been an ongoing investigation into Robert Sarver and the Phoenix Suns arising out of allegations of misogyny and racism in the workplace. Another piece to that puzzle seemingly came out yesterday when ESPN released a report about a former employee's recent resignation email, in which she further described the "toxic and misogynistic workplace culture." What does this new report mean to the ongoing investigation and Robert Sarver's future as the owner of the Suns? Our resident lawyer gives his thoughts, as do Dan and our guest this week, Sam Good (@samgood). In addition to discussing the NBA's investigation, we also discuss why allowing Deandre Ayton to leave - regardless of how - will be a huge mistake by the Suns. That, and more, on this episode of Fanning the Flames. Make sure to follow Paul (@DervishOfWhirl), Dan (@danduarte1), Justin (@SoSaysJ), and the pod (@FanTheFlamesNBA) on Twitter.

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 - 1h 01min - 457 - Fanning the Flames - Does Deandre Ayton Get Too Much Blame?
As Paul makes his triumphant return to Fanning the Flames, we dive into the hottest topic of conversation for Phoenix Suns fans right now: Deandre Ayton. In addition to looking (again) at what we think the future holds for him, we discuss how Ayton is perceived by the team and BY fans right now. Does he shoulder too much blame? Is the criticism warranted? In addition to DA TALK, we get into which current Suns players may not be back next season. Should the Suns give up on Cameron Payne? What role does Landry Shamet have moving forward? All of this, plus more, on this episode of Fanning the Flames!

Wed, 11 May 2022 - 41min - 450 - Fanning the Flames - F*** the Refs, Suns in 6
The Phoenix Suns sit tied with the Dallas Mavericks at two games apiece. The two losses in Dallas were not pretty, but they were also marred by atypical play and horrific officiating. And without placing "blame" on the referees, there's no doubt that they impacted both games significantly. But, more importantly, will all of this continue? We think not, and we (sans Paul) explain why on this episode of Fanning the Flames.

THE SUNS WIN IT IN 6! Chris Paul's brilliance. Devin Booker's return. Deandre Ayton's dominance. Mikal Bridges' growth. Cam Johnson's Thursdays. What a game! Led by Chris Paul's perfect game (14/14FG), the Suns offense fired on all cylinders tonight as they put on a masterclass in efficiency against the New Orleans Pelicans. Booker's return may not have been excellent, but he hit the big shot when it mattered and his return alone instills plenty of hope as the Suns look towards round 2. **The Suns will play the Mavericks in Round 2 on Monday, 5/2 at 9pm CST** Make sure to subscribe on all podcast platforms!

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 - 32min - 438 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - Suns Take Game 1! (Post Game Podcast)
The Suns took Game 1, beating the Pelicans 110-99! Chris Paul took over the 4th Quarter to seal the victory, but the Suns had massive contributions from top to bottom. Speaking of Paul, he became the oldest player to record 30 points and 10 assists in a playoff game, finishing with that exact stat line (19 points in the 4th alone). The last player to set that record? Phoenix's own Steve Nash. **The Suns and Pelicans will play Game 2 on Tuesday at 9pm CST** Make sure to subscribe on all podcast platforms!

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 - 50min - 435 - Fanning the Flames - The Robert Horry Apology Episode
This week, the Phoenix Suns set a franchise record for wins in a season, eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers from Playoff contention, and Robert Horry uttered the words we've waited 15 years to hear from him: "I'm sorry, Steve Nash." Everything is coming up Suns (even in losses) and we dive into it all on this episode of Fanning the Flames.

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 - 47min - 431 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - The Suns: Still Very Good
The Suns injuries just won't stop, as Jae Crowder joined the injury crew. Even thought the Suns continue to play musical chairs with the injury report, they continue to keep stringing wins together. This week was highlighted by fantastic play at every position, with some special shoutouts on the way for Cam Payne and DominAyton! Also, please keep us in your thoughts, as we mourn the loss of our Kentucky Wildcats (and the Chicago Bulls contender status?)

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 - 47min - 430 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - The Lakers Ruined our Podcast
The Suns continued their shorthanded play this week, going without a mix of Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Cam Johnson. Even with all of those missing pieces, they finished the week 3-1 (and easily could have been 4-0). This week was filled with Mikal heroics, "not so clutch" clutch time, sweet revenge in Miami, and a blowout win over LeBron and the Lakers. Can't really complain about that!

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 - 54min - 429 - Fanning the Flames - Cameron Payne: PG of the Future?
The Phoenix Suns have been woefully shorthanded over the past week, but that has not entirely derailed their winning ways. Plus, it has allowed certain guys (Cameron Johnson, Mikal Bridges, and Cameron Payne) to step up their games in the absence of Devin Booker and Chris Paul. On this week's episode of Fanning the Flames, we recap the past week of Suns basketball and also delve into: What the Suns' cap situation could look like in a couple years; Whether Payne can be the point guard of the future for the Suns; and Suns President and CEO Jason Rowley' Twitter account being deactivated and what, if anything, it means in relation to the ongoing investigation.

Tue, 08 Mar 2022 - 1h 45min - 427 - Fanning the Flames - Let's All Relax a Bit
It's been a while, but Fanning the Flames returns at a time when it seems as though Planet Orange could use a boost of optimism from the Podcast of Optimism. Sure, Chris Paul is out for the foreseeable future. Sure, the Phoenix Suns are 1-2 since the All-Star Break. But let's not freak out just yet, Suns fans. This team is going to be just fine, and we tell you why that's the case on this episode of Fanning the Flames. In addition, we dive into: Who needs to step up the most in CP3's absence; Who has the biggest opportunity to prove himself while Paul is out; and What parallels can be drawn - if any - between the Deandre Ayton contract situation and Kyler Murray's contract situation.

Tue, 01 Mar 2022 - 1h 25min - 426 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - A World Without Chris Paul
What do you do when you lose Chris Paul? Fans who are set on looking to the future may have asked this already, as the Suns are hoping to build a roster that will stay competitive and relevant well past this year. Unfortunately, this question has surfaced sooner rather than later, as Chris Paul has suffered an avulsion fracture of his right thumb and is slated to miss 6-to-8 weeks. With Cam Payne still hurt, the Suns went into this week down to 2 (maybe just 1?) serviceable point guard options to step in for Chris Paul. This led to a sight that's become common to Suns fans: Point Book. The Suns went on to go 1-2 in their first CP3-less week, and it's left us with plenty of new insights into how the team can sustain success. Side Note: Don't panic Suns fans. Everything's going to be just fine! Stick around for our Highs, Lows, and Just So You Knows in Phoenix Suns basketball, and make sure to subscribe on all podcast platforms!

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 - 38min - 425 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - FANTASY DRAFT! (End of the Year Awards)
Happy All Star Weekend! Hopefully you are getting some rest and relaxation, just like the majority of the Phoenix Suns players. We take our ASG episode to recap All Star Weekend (highlighted by Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the Suns coaching staff) and talk about what's to come in the last 7 weeks of the regular season. With Chris Paul out for the foreseeable future, the Suns will have plenty of questions to answer as they look to lock up the one seed!

Tue, 22 Feb 2022 - 34min - 424 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - Most Impressive Week of the Year?
The Suns may have just had their best week of the season. The Suns pulled off a remarkable 4-0 week, beating the Bulls, Sixers (second night of a back to back) and the defending champs, the Milwaukee Bucks. They also beat the Orland Magic... but somehow that makes it seem less impressive, so we'll bypass that one. We talk about what made this week so special and who really stepped up on some of the biggest stages (looking at you DA!). We also cover the recent Suns trades that may have just made the team marginally better - something we predicted last week! Also, make sure you come prepared as Mr.Russell breaks down his third lesson on "Defending the Pick and Roll" - Blitzing.

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 - 38min - 423 - Fanning the Flames - Another Masterclass
The Phoenix Suns pulled off yet another 4th quarter masterclass against the MVP “favorite” Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. But does it leave us with more questions than answers? Should the Suns make a trade before Thursday? Has Devin Booker entered the MVP discussion? And, most importantly, are the Suns just another team that can be "punked" by other teams? On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we dive into these questions, discuss some of the trades that have already gone down in the NBA, look forward to Thursday’s NBA Finals rematch with the Milwaukee Bucks, and, of course, talk about the continued disrespect from the national media (we're looking at you, Shaq).

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 - 1h 20min - 422 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - Deadlines and Drop Coverage
Apparently one 10+ win streak wasn't enough, so the Suns decided to do it again! The Suns continue to increase their lead in the West, continually widening the gap between them and (almost) everyone else. We took some time to discuss why the Suns keep rolling, if the Hawks hot shooting was an outlier or a concern, and what the trade deadline looks like for a true contender. Also, make sure you Get Your Head In The Game (you're welcome HSM fans) as Mr.Russell breaks down his second lesson on "Defending the Pick and Roll" - Drop Coverage.

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 - 49min - 421 - Fanning the Flames - What's Your Favorite Suns Era?
The Phoenix Suns are riding an 11-game winning streak and are coming off a victory over the Steve Nash-coached Brooklyn Nets. Which begs the question: how does this Suns team compare to Suns teams of the past? Not in a "who would win in a series" sense, but in a "which of these teams do you connect with as a fan" sense. On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we dive into that question, talk about the All-Star voting results (yeah... including Andrew freaking Wiggins), and learn how Dan feels about the movie Anchorman (spoiler alert... he's REALLY not a fan).

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 - 1h 26min - 420 - Fanning the Flames - Rolling through Adversity
Although the Phoenix Suns were "lucky" to be so "healthy" last season (please pick up the heavy sarcasm), the same is not the case this year. The Suns have been consistently without contributors, but they keep on winning. Which begs the question: can anyone stop the Phoenix Suns? On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we discuss whether any other team worries us, the audacity of Grayson Allen and the Milwaukee Bucks, whether the Suns can top the franchise record winning streak from earlier this season, and more!

The Suns are back to their scorching ways, as they ride a new impressive winning streak into a Jazz-filled week! Talking about the Suns will always be our top priority, BUT it's easier to understand the Suns, their success, and their future by taking the time to assess the league around them. We adjust our normal segments to talk about other teams around the league that may be worthy of our attention (for better or for worse).

Tue, 25 Jan 2022 - 45min - 418 - Fanning the Flames - Devin Booker: Metahuman
One week ago, Devin Booker made headlines because of his interaction with a freaking mascot. Since then, Booker has played basketball like someone who is more than human, but not quite a god (a metahuman!!) and he is the reigning Western Conference Player of the Week to show it. As you may be able to guess, this is a DBook episode of Fanning the Flames. We discuss: Book's performances over the past week; Where Booker stands historically with respect to the Phoenix Suns' greatest scoring performances; People are there yelling Mamba mentality from their mama's house; and Heel Book.

The Suns take care of business, winning against the Raptors, Pacers and Pistons! We recap this week in Phoenix Suns basketball, and do our best to NOT get too upset about the stupid, ridiculous, nonsensical, dumb, phony and indefensible NBA All-Star fan voting. That said... we can't wait to watch Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose start in the All-Star game.

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 - 34min - 416 - Fanning the Flames - Devin Booker's Dustup (with a Mascot)
Fanning the Flames is back in full force as we discuss the week that was for the Phoenix Suns. Dan’s return is particularly noteworthy as he comes in with what may already be his rant of the year (parental discretion is advised). On top of that, we cover: Devin Booker's dustup with the Toronto Raptors' mascot; General savagery by NBA players (i.e., Ja Morant staring down a child); Whether the Suns the bad guys in the NBA; Whether we see the team making any moves before the trade deadline; and A very special challenge Dan is going to try...

Thu, 13 Jan 2022 - 1h 15min - 415 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - The Suns Can't Handle the Heat (And Too Many Bigs?)
JaVale or Jalen? We NEVER would've imagined this question being asked, and now, we never would've guessed who our answer may be. The Suns have almost returned to full health, although their pride may be on the Health and Safety list following the smackdown by the Heat. Now that the roster is starting to be fully available, the logjam at center is already starting to show. After last year, it seems like James Jones REALLY wanted to take care of the depth at 5, and he definitely did that. We discuss who may be on the trading block as the deadline slowly approaches.

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 - 34min - 414 - Fanning the Flames - Bismack-Daddy
Happy New Year, Suns fans! It has been a weird start to 2022 for the Suns, as they've seen a number of players and Monty Williams find themselves in the NBA's health and safety protocols. But those circumstances allowed the team to bring in Bismack Biyombo, who's impact was felt immediately, and allowed Jalen Smith to show what he can do. On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we discuss Biyombo's impact, Stix's future, and our favorite Suns moments from 2021. Oh... and in case you're interested, I share my cautionary tale about drive-in movies.

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 - 56min - 413 - Into the Valley: A Phoenix Suns Podcast - Stix's Big Week and Cam Johnson Thursdays
Happy New Year! 2021 was a great year for Phoenix Suns basketball, and hopefully 2022 will bring more of the same. Although the Suns' 2021 was fantastic, they've started 2022 in a bit of a precarious position, as COVID protocols have finally made their way to the Suns organization. Since last episode, the Suns went just 2-2, having to rely heavily on Jalen "Stix" Smith and an assortment of new faces, including... Bismack Biyombo? There wasn't much to learn this week in terms of X's and O's, but we did learn about Cam Johnson Thursdays, and we think you'll want to learn about them too!

Merry (NBA) Christmas! NBA Christmas Day is behind us and we are left with plenty to talk about, as Warriors vs. Suns III has left the Warriors with a 2-1 season series lead. The Suns dropped a tough one, but the top two teams in the West still seem to be destined for a playoff clash. We talk about what can be learned from the season series so far, what the Warriors have done well , and the resiliency the Suns continue to show, no matter the opponent or score.
