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.

Sit down with us and get to know the new voice of your Phoenix Suns, Jon Bloom, a little better. Bloomer joins us to talk the journey he took to his new gig, incorporating his love of music into his calls, Devin Booker's new signature shoes, and the upcoming Phoenix Suns season.

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.

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:

- Our take on my Williams being fired;

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

- What other front office moves might be coming this off-season (Bob Myers?); and

- What the roster might look like come the 2023-2024 season.

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.
