What do you want answered at Phoenix Suns Media Day?
I was a bit of a nomad as a child. My dad had an affinity for keeping the family on the move. Part of that came with being renters, and my dad was rather vocal with landlords, which ultimately led to us having to pack up and move time and time again. From Phoenix to […]

The biggest questions facing the Suns over their first 10 games
