The Phoenix Suns have been showing signs of life lately and have won four games in a row.
They are still the 10th seed in the Western Conference and have their work cut out for them but they look better than they have in a long time.
This has some people questioning what their plans should be in the offseason.
Speaking on ESPN, Carlos Boozer said the Suns should try to keep Kevin Durant and Devin Booker together this summer, despite previous reports that they would trade Durant.
He said it would be in the team’s “best interest,” even if the Suns don’t go far in the playoffs this year.

Durant has proven that he is still a supremely talented basketball player, Boozer said.
Pairing him with Booker was the right idea when Phoenix pursued him a few years ago, but things just haven’t worked out as expected.
But that doesn’t mean it is time to cut ties with Durant and move in a different direction.
Many reports have stated that the Suns will try to ship Durant to another team, and they hope to get a big return in exchange for him.
This is mostly because the team is so strapped for cash and doesn’t have a lot of leverage or flexibility when it comes to most of their contracts.
For example, they want to keep Booker and build the team around him, and they cannot move Bradley Beal due to his no-trade clause.
That leaves them with few options outside of Durant, who could be part of a monster trade.
But this four-game winning streak might be changing some minds, and it could affect what the Suns do.
However, perhaps it is too late, and there is no avoiding a Durant trade in the summer.
