卢卡·唐奇奇和TJ沃伦都知道菲尼克斯太阳队的超级巨星德文·布克已经确立了自己是当今NBA最好的后卫之一。然而,不可否认的是,自从他到来之后,他的个人才华并没有对提高太阳队的地位起到什么作用。
公平地对布克说,考虑到太阳队如何与布克、卢卡·唐奇奇和TJ沃伦组成一支超级球队,太阳队的前厅部也有同样的问题,如果不是更多的话。
很明显,有很多移动的部分导致这支超级球队一直没有取得成果,但事实上,菲尼克斯现在本可以有一个相当大的三巨头。
太阳队在2015年NBA选秀中以第13名的成绩入选了布克,这一点已经被证明是他们绝对的抢手货。这是菲尼克斯前线办公室近年来做出的最好的决定之一,但东契克和沃伦的情况却并非如此。
2018年,太阳队是选秀第一名的骄傲老板。他们用它签下了大个子迪安德雷艾顿,他本人到目前为止一直是球队的一个巨大的前景。不过,他们确实把唐奇奇传给了达拉斯小牛队(通过亚特兰大老鹰队)获得总成绩第三。艾顿有潜力成为一个伟大的大个子,但他不是卢卡·多尼奇。
菲尼克斯对沃伦的决定更是一个讽刺。去年夏天,他们把沃伦送到印第安纳步行者队是为了现金考虑。沃伦在周六对费城76人队的比赛中展现了他们所缺少的东西,29投20中得到职业生涯最高的53分,带领步行者队战胜了维科特里。

Devin Booker denied superteam with Luka Doncic and TJ Warren by Suns front office
原文:
Luka Doncic and TJ Warren know that Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker has established himself as one of the best guards in the NBA today. However, there’s no denying that his individual brilliance has done little to improve the stature of the Suns as an organization since his arrival.
To be fair to Booker, it could be argued that the Suns front office is as much, if not even more at fault for this lack of significant development, considering how they could have formed a super team with Booker, Luka Doncic and TJ Warren.
Obviously, there are a lot of moving parts that led to this superteam never coming to fruition, but the fact of the matter is that Phoenix could have had quite a Big 3 right now.
The Suns selected Booker 13th overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, which at this point, has proven to be an absolute steal for them. This has been one of the best decisions the Phoenix front office has made in recent years, but the same cannot be said in the case of Doncic and Warren.
In 2018, the Suns were the proud owners of the first overall pick in the draft. They used it to sign big man Deandre Ayton, who himself has been a tremendous prospect for the team thus far. However, they did pass on Doncic, who eventually went third overall to the Dallas Mavericks (via the Atlanta Hawks). Ayton has the potential to be a great big man, but he is no Luka Doncic.
Phoenix’s decision on Warren is even more of a travesty. Last summer, they sent Warren to the Indiana Pacers for cash considerations. Warren showed the Suns what they were missing with an amazing performance on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring a career-high 53 points on 20-of-29 shooting to lead the Pacers to vicotry.
