The Phoenix Suns are a great example of this too. Booker was complaining for years about how he had no help, so they get him a #1 draft pick and Chris Paul, who carry him to the Finals yet that somehow wasn't good enough and he blamed the loss on Ayton. So they dump Ayton and Paul and replace them with Durant and Beal, then the team completely collapses. Sort of makes you wonder if Ayton was the problem or if he was the reason they went to the Finals... A lot of people are going to talk about how bad Beal played to mess things up, but not enough people are going to talk about how the Suns gave Booker everything he wanted and he still couldn't win.
Yeah, the Suns missed a great opportunity to win the title then. I think it was an upsetting defeat, especially for Paul.
As for Booker, no matter how much money they give him, he still can't win a title alone. Imho, the Suns should have assembled a solid team with good role players instead of spending so much money to extend Booker's contract.
